Frys "Before months end."

[subtraction]

Just returned from Frys they have inventory in hands.
Was shown a sealed retail box and the following statement was made....
"Before months end they will be on the shelf."
They kind of laughed and sent me on my way.
It seemed they had them being stored in the front cage with all the other cpu's, ram, etc.
Edit: That makes me think perhaps they goofed and went ahead and opened a bigger box that they were not supposed to.
Or perhaps they are going to be available very soon?
Edit: Forgot to mention as I in my head figured it was just a given. But yes it was Bulldozer I am referring to.

 

[aigomorla]

uhhh...

so whatchacallit is in stock on top of the thingamagig?

Can you tell us WHAT WHAT is?

 

[Neutralman]

OOooo what is it!!!

 

[aleckz]

I would assume Bulldozer since that has been the hot topic over the past few months.

Edit: Also the post was made in the CPUs and Overclocking forum.

 

[cganesh75]

what are we talking about here?

You are correct. Again sorry I forgot to mention that was just excited I guess and forgot to mention the most important detail.

 

[Gigantopithecus]

What the hell else would it be?

Bulldozer is in the hands of retailers and will be available for us plebs to buy in the next week or so.

Anyone who follows computer hardware would know what you were talking about!

What about other details?

What model was it that you saw?

Any info on pricing?

I figured but people were still seeming as if they had no idea what it could possible be? Still should have just stated the obvious for those whom did not know.

They also showed me a real slick looking aluminum box and said it will come in that? Me thinks an individual had perhaps done a little illegal unboxing? Maybe I will go back up and offer to suck on a certain part of their body in exchange for a box of my own?

As for price they did not seem to know, but they could have been lying.
Seems stupid for them to show me the product but then lie about not knowing a price though.
FX-8150 was the specific model I saw/held. I asked about other models, said they have the entire lineup ready to sell when its time.
They had an entire stack of them I can only assume it was not all the same chip.

I have contact with someone at Microcenter too.
Have to go take some test's @ 6 if I can get over to MC before they close at 9 I will do.
They have been much more likely to hand over info there than at Frys so maybe I can get more.
On a few occasions they have sold me video cards up to a week before the actual release date so maybe...

FFS with all the pointless Bulldozer speculation threads in this forum and on other sites you'd think people were preparing for the second coming of Jesus or some crap.

It will get here when it gets here. We know retailers have it on hand, so it'll be soon. Thanks for that, OP.

As for pricing? Who gives a crap? We know they'll all be less than $300. Are some of you going to have to scrimp and save a little harder to afford $200 vs. $250 for the next week to get the top-end SKU or something? Just freaking wait and in the meantime, post interesting, useful threads.

But if there were not these speculation threads and hype what would I do to take a break from BC2 and fapping?

Jesus was a carpenter and carpenters work near bulldozers. I take this to mean this is the second coming of Jesus.

 

[trollolo]

the second coming of AMD indeed. Bulldozer being good will mean that intel has to shake their pretty little hips around

 

[chihlidog]

8 days. So by the end of next week.

I call shens.

Pics or ban!

This was just a Frys grunt that I spoke with. But I saw the item in a sealed box that added some hope in my mind. I mean if they have the item ready to sell wouldn't they want to get it in peoples hands asap?

Yes, Frys employees seem to do this often.

That was from Fudzilla, which originally was taken from Donanimhaber.
