Pretty disappointing from AMD.
On the other hand it's never been good to go out and buy anything right after release.
For my part I have to say if the next itteration from AMD (let's also see what happens with the new FM2 socket) is not significantly better I will most certainly go to Sandybridge/Ivybridge, depending on availability and pricing when I need a new mobo+cpu.
I have been looking forward to the Bulldozer but I won't put any money up for it or a new 990fx mobo, as of now it's not worth the price of admission and sadly, since I always valued AMD's approach to socket/cpu flexibility, an i5 2500k is starting to look really good.
Btw, my first pc after my amiga was a 486 with a whopping 4mb of ram....ahhhh pacific fighters.....
