The road map goes beyond 2013.

BullDozer PileDriver, SteamRoller and then 2014, Excavator.

If they are leaving the market, it won't be in the next three years or more.

What they said, and will supposedly be doing is not FOCUS into high performance desktop CPUs.
As in, they'll still release new chips, etc, but won't be the product of a "huge effort" in order to tie or surpass Intel.

In other words, expect BD v2, BD v3 ( with both being significantly slower than the new Intel CPUs that will come ).

All doomsaying aside AMD chips are flying off the shelves especially their APU's. Show be a SB or SB-E that will do 8GHz as well. I don't think AMD has intended to release a product for a long time that would surpass Intel and have said so before this came out. Bulldozer was intended to surpass Deneb which it did. They have been realistic about their inability to go toe to toe with Intel for a long time now so I see this as nothing new.

For them doing so poorly I sure do see a lot of "just bought an 8120/8150" threads floating around the internet.

Yea I see a lot of that as well, but I think for the porposes of what we typically are focused on around here AKA world records they just are not a viable solution although great hardware grinders fo sho

[BenchZowner]

How many FX-8120s & FX-8150s you guys think they have actually sold ? ( sold to clients, not to distributors, not that these numbers will be unbalanced in this case, with AMD's very limited 8120 & 8150 supply )

I do not know but I have to think not as many as they would have liked

I see these chips making a splash in the oem market for lower cost grinding solutions

They run Facebook rather well...................
