Too bad, I was looking forward to see its performance and prices.

While this redesign does seem nothing short of revolutionary, AnandTech is reporting from Computex that performance issues with the B0 and B1 stepping chips have pushed back the launch. These chips were suffering from performance issues, rumors were that they weren’t meeting desired (read: beating Intel’s new Sandy Bridge chips) speeds, though AMD believes that these problems can be remedied with a new chip stepping.

AMD was expected to launch four processors based on the Bulldozer architecture at Computex with prices ranging from $190-$320.

Darn, ah well I'm proud with what I've got.

The rumour mill seems conflicted about the reason for the new stepping - clockspeeds or bugfix. I'm inclined to think the latter since all the rumoured ES speeds were well above 3GHz.

If it's a bug fix I'm glad they found it before launch, it could be much more expensive otherwise...

The delay still sucks of course.

Booo!!

BOOOOOOO!
