well based on the confirmed price of $266 i'm guessing it's gonna be R2500-R3200ish for the 8150

Play games, not platforms
I'll try to be more impressed once we know what the real world [gaming, rendering, encoding, compression/decompression] of this family of chips is.
Is the 26 September launch date still on?

Ill be more impress with high calcs per second than with high frequency aka real world benchmarks and usability

Ill be more impress when amd actually meets intel's quality and stability
not serious

But how will the cheaper Bulldozer chips compare to a similarly priced Core i5 2400. It would have to be mighty impressive to keep me from going Intel again.

It's an impressive feat no doubt, not that im skeptical but I like me some real world results. It's going to be a very interesting road ahead, but I have no doubt that AMD will win in the price per Ghz sector.
Yeah I totally just made up "price per gigahertz" :P
The theoretical limit is 10-12 GHz. Its got to do with the average length of conducting tracks in/through the CPU. Once you go over a certain frequency you turn the tracks on the CPU into radio transmitters. Signal gets broadcast instead of arraving at transistors :P the only way around it is to make tracks shorter and thinner, but even that has a limit. Basically everything is beginning to bump the limits of what can be done with electrons.
