Re: nice!

this sounds good for laptops.

Bobcat
Sub-one-watt capable operation
Out-of-order instruction execution for higher performance
Estimated 90 percent of today’s mainstream PC performance in half the area
Core power gating and a microarchitecture optimized for low power
Highly synthesizeable design that moves easily across manufacturing technologies

Re: nice!

I wonder how long until I can buy either a bulldozer or bobcat CPU?

Re: nice!

probably 3-6 months,
they will want to get them out fast before intel can counter them, but it will take a while for the mobo's to be designed & tested.

you probably wont be able to buy a Bobcat chip, it sounds like it's for embedded stuff like controllers & maybe netbooks.
infact it sounds like a response to the Atom series.
