Will Bulldozer release before DukeNukemForever

[Jacky60]

As Bulldozer seems to be stuck without diesel in a shed somewhere will it be released before the Sun cools to a white dwarf? I'm starting to doubt it actually exists.
Are there any vaguely firm release dates?
Come on AMD get your s**t together.

I thought it was common knowledge that BD will release during the 2nd half of 2011...

Well I'm uncommonly ignorant then.

Bulldozer is coming at the end of H1, in the first week or so of summer.

 

[Idontcare]

Bulldozer will never be released.

Zambezi will. And Orochi too.

But Bulldozer...no. Denied.

(semantics ftl)

 

[aigomorla]

The world will end in 2012 so its all moot...

Even if it did come out, the super flare in 2012 will kill all electronics.

Ps.. This is a troll... So dont take me preaching armagedon seriously

I think Duke Nukem Forever will release first. Although it also had a longer development time. Isn't DNF scheduled for release this month?

 

[OCGuy]

The question isn't when/if it will be released, the question is "will it be relevant?" when it is.

May. 2 more Months.

Funny thread. I say Bulldozer comes out before DNF , imo

 

[Ancalagon44]

After.

Maybe Bulldozer comes packaged within the Duke Nukem Forever box?

Ever think of that?? Kinda like "Yo dawg, I hear you like taking forever, so I've packaged a forever within a forever"

I got Half Life 2 packaged with my 9600XT, except the game wasn't actually released for about 9 months after I bought the card.

Make it a trifecta - Duke + BD + BitBoy Vid-card

may 3rd can't get here fast enough!

 

[taltamir]

duke nukem forever is never going to be released.

duke nukem forever is never going to be released.

Ahhh, I was sooo looking forward to it too. My parade has just been rained on

 

[BD231]

Who cares when you've got superior products floating around at decent price's. Get yourself a Sandy Bridge when the fix is out and watch it compete with bulldozer a year from now.

... sorry man, didn't mean to rain on your parade. I am a huge duke nukem fan but at some point we have to face reality... although if it ever is released (and doesn't suck) I Would love to be proven wrong by such a pleasant surprise.

It is finally done with development, with playable demos. While I can't say much about the quality, I can say with some confidence that it should be released soon.

I also feel that BD will be released before 2012. I don't particularly see it being better than SB as I am seeing many people post. I do expect it to have some parity with the Nehalem architecture though, with similar IPC to that. I guess if clock speeds are high enough it could beat SB pretty well, but since it is on a Gate First HKMG process and SB is on a Gate Last HKMG process, I don't really expect the Zambezi die to clock much faster than a Sandybridge die. Even though the Zambezi die is likely designed to clock higher, it is still at an inherent process disadvantage.

this thread should be a poll. every one of us will die of old age before duke nukem forever gets released.

So if I defrag my hardrive and clean out my temp files, will this help? Maybe I should overclock, I've heard that the Mayans didn't take that into consideration for 2012. :whiste:

 

[Hogan773]

I, for one, am so sick of hearing about this promised land of BULLDOZER (oooohhhhhh!!!! aaaaahhhhh!!!)

Just release the freakin thing if its so great

 

[Soulkeeper]

some of us have been waiting for bulldozer for a few years now ....

A few more months doesn't seem like much more if put in perspective
I guess it's possible they surprise us with letting it out a few weeks early, never know ...
