Among the madness and mayhem at this year's Comic-Con conference (check out our 43 Photos from Day 1, 20 Photos from Day Two, and Video Tour), chip maker AMD may have inadvertently revealed the long-awaited release date for its upcoming Bulldozer processor launch. Or perhaps it was intentionally unintentional. Either way, you can spy what appears to be a release date in a promotional cartoon advertising the company's Scorpius platform and FX-Series CPUs.
Around the 15-second mark of the embedded video clip above, you can make out "ember 19th" etched into the computer tower sitting in the bottom left corner, followed by what appears to be the frequency (3600MHz). Given the delays that have so far plagued Bulldozer, the marking could indicate a November or December release, but according to Softpedia.com, AMD announced at the Computex fair earlier this year that we should see the first Bulldozer desktop parts in August or September.
What's more, Chinese website HKEPC claims Taiwan motherboard makers gave it the skinny on a handful of upcoming Bulldozer chips, including:
All four processors are built on a 32nm SOI manufacturing process and boast 8 cores, 8MB of shared L3 cache, and DDR3-1866 support.

Call of Duty has it's own flock of sheeple so there's no doubt that they'll make some cash off of this. I won't have anything to do with Call of Duty so it doesn't matter to me, but it's sad to see companies taking advantage and sucking as much money as possible from it's customers.Bungie offers the same feature abosolutely free. Except for that fact that if you want more than what they provided, you have to pay. Now that's fair.What Activision is doing is bullsh3t. Only TRUE COD fanboys would go for that kind of rubbish offer. That's my opinion about this option subscription thing btw. Contextual blogposts

From what I heard, they had something similar to Intel's Hyperthreading that its theoretically 8 cores. Besides, Intel's practically already got octocores, the i7's usually hyperthread to give them 8 or 12 cores (depending on the cpu).
Also keep in mind that more cores =/= faster cpu. I'm sure most of you know that multi-core cpus are nothing if the programs you use don't utilize more than one core.
By the way, tell me why were they advertising this at Comic Con? I don't get it...
