AMD Unveils Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Black Edition
While every hardcore AMD fan awaits the Barcelona and Phenom series of CPUs, AMD is busy making the best out of what it has already. In a Japanese presentation, AMD showed off the Athlon 64 6400+ "Black Edition". This CPU should hit retail markets on August 20th, and should cost anywhere between $220 and $240 USD. The CPU runs on a 90nm process, and is clocked at 3.2GHz.
At the same presentation, AMD demoed a Phenom X4 system at 3GHz in an AMD RD790 motherboard. AMD somehow managed to present this without anyone getting good performance numbers.

Who gives a shit about your opinions, honestly.
I mean, AMD guys go buy AMD, Intel guys go buy Intel, stop turning this forum into a CPU propaganda exchange database!
if you want to make an example of something PM it you have been around long enough to know that :ohwell:
there is nothing wrong with AMD sending out its 90nm chips with a bang we have all seen that this constant die shrink makes no difference in performance. look at the p4s 130nm down to 65nm the just oc'd different what makes you think the new C2Ds w/ 45nm and 3Xnm is going to make them any different. AMD has been pumping out higher end chips since K6-2 look at those next to a P3 :roll:. the fact that AMD is keeping up at all with chips that have been around since sept 23,2003 yet the keep up with intels C2Ds released july 27,2006 hmmm i see an issue 3 year old tech getting beat by 1 year old tech its one of those gee you think moments. i have no issue with intel for chips i own 3 running intels and only 1 runnning AMD, but as far as new tech goes they kinda suck it took 3 years to address having there asses handed to them by A64 tech but AMD is expected to have faster tech in less than a year.......thats BS in my book.
i hope Phenom blows C2Ds pants off cause all this crap about AMD not being able to keep up is stupid. Intel has had Penitum M chips since march of 2003 the things kept up with the AMD A64s yet intel completly ignored this and kept pushing out nutburst based crap that didnt have a chance in hell of keeping up with the A64 lineup. not one person questioned intel motives with this but everyone and there grandma thinks AMD is dead because one line of intel chips outperforms them by marginal amounts and then AMD just oc's the current chips a little more and everyon says oh no you cant do that? WTF?
if your to stupid to relize that all of this is crap then you dont need to post here. AMD has made more advances than intel ever will. AMD already replaced the ANCIENT tech of FSB and managed to get less onboard cache to behave in a way that you couldnt tell (compare a 512k and 1m a64 you'll see diff is marginal) yet intel is pushing out chips with 12mb cache that hardly beats an AMD? again WTF? we are talking about 5-10% margins WOW there was a 20-50% margin between A64 and P4 yet no one comments about that the 4ghz p4s got beat out by the cheaper more efficient 4000+ yet intel stays on top of the market with more expensive but slower chips,at least now you can buy an intel and not get SCREWED, thats all intel changed it gave the customer a LITTLE bit of aknowledgement.... this arguement is pointless the e6850 barely beats the 3yr older base of the 6400+ and thats that.
STOP BASHING AMD FOR RELEASING CHIPS. ppl got banned for shit like that if it had to do with intel but not AMD thats CRAP!
oh and dan no were did i bash intel in the post you quoted i posted true information on how intel seemed to simply forget the customer and change shit because it could :shadedshu if you want bashing look towards some of the other posts
My actual point was that while core2 is quicker than A64, its on a much smaller scale than the difference betweem A64 and P4, yet people make so much more noise about it than they did when the boot was on the other foot
Cdawall, i had a 754 rig, i wanted a newer chip and had to buy a new motherboard as they changed the socket (939), then i was going to upgrade again, and they changed the socket AGAIN (am2)
Then i got an intel, since which they bought out 1333fsb and quad core, both which work in my current board, AMD 1:1 INTEL?

But I really wish that AMD would release something already and stop talking about it. I will replace my current 6000+ with the 6400+ if they were out. But where the hell are they.
I must be loosing my patience......dam where is the wife when I need her
AMD really need to look at the marketing stratergies - they keep saying oooo look consumers hold on to ur cash for 6months then get this - then ooo look whats cuming - people dnt invest and there left totaly buggerd - We neeeed them!
Look at apples marketing
2Weeks ago - oh btw were having a press meeting at apple hall in 1 week - Internet goes WILD --- tuesday comes - wow look new imac and iwork - omfg people go out and buy then and there. - Releasing too long roadmap or info leads to consumers not digging in top there pockets early and then doing the same not to long later - used to be great - amd64 - few came out then BAM - new1s hit market out of nowhere - we all go out and reinvest to get 300Mhz faster speed and a lil mre clocking headroom
We reaallly cant let them die else we will feel the rath of intel
I think it's about time to throw some money into ads. lol
and no hot sauce!
I'll make you a fucking sandwich with your own broken bits of your mac book.
and yeah back then amd had as much as intel had for ads, intel wasn't always the supermonopoly.
anda 100K commecial is always an option too.
From the way you're wording your posts you have no idea that AMD have been in financial issues for a long time.
Get y'facts straight before blowing out hot air. :slap:
