When is the last time you've been genuinely excited

Back when Netburst arrived.

What a load of wank that was.

Kaveri with the promise of a better implementation of HSA. I'm slightly disappointed that it's not widely used, aside from faster jpg loading and a few adobe programmes. Bristol Ridge will be interesting because we'll see how far the Carizzo memory controller can be pushed with DDR4 but the Zen based APUs in the future hold even more promise.

Also when HSA was marketed.

Only reasonable choice when you're going for gaymen laptops, as long as it doesn't have a dedicated GPU.
>Also when HSA was marketed.
Unless you're a programmer or really enjoy being on the cutting edge, there's no point to buying something like that. If it does take off, it won't be immediately upon the release of the first chip supporting the spec. That's common sense.

Bulldozer. All the magazines were publishing a photo of bulldozer plowing over a bridge made of sand. Back then I was getting hyped for CHIP magazine too.

Athlon 64

I'd almost forgotten that there was a time when I was happy to run an AMD processor. AMD had a good run with their 64 bit platform until Intel got its shit togeter with Core 2.
