19 September Launch Day for FX Series Processors

[xenocide]

I hope W1zzard gets to review a variety of the different models so we can get an idea of the maximum overclocks. I'm also very curious as to whether AMD will let us unlock disabled cores on the 4xxx and 6xxx models like they did with the Phenom II's.

That's assuming there are any disabled cores to unlock.

Little later than I'd like. This date better hold, because I ain't waiting for 2012 for Bulldozer. I'm one of the many, or at least I believe so, that are planning their next build, but don't know if to wait for BD or just go for Sandy. Let's hope that the performance and price are where they should be, unlike the release schedule.

at least its in time for BF3, I will have my 990x board sitting here waiting.

I need the prices do decide...

Same here except I'm leaning towards SB because I I like the mobos better.

AM3+ mobos will be cheaper than SB mobos with the same features

Except you're 100% wrong.

Find me one with 10 SATA ports a PLX chip and 16x 16x crossfire/SLI

FX-8150 vs i7 2600K already! very interested to see gaming benchmarks. my guess atm is that core for core clock for clock intel will be up, but 8 cores vs 4 with HT makes the game interesting!

If $5 in (almost) $200 means that much to you...

EDIT: Besides shipping.

Is there any game that needs more than 4 cores ?

needs no... could use? perhaps. this is why I think i7 will end up better for gaming, if indeed they are faster core for core, clock for clock, games should like that. productivity however, i see bulldozer being an absolute beast.

Did you find me a motherboard yet?

I said that AM3 boards will be cheaper than SB boards with same features (if there is a board with same features )

So basically you're saying that you had no business quoting me in the first place?

Ok.

_JP_ already found it for you. AM3+ has dual x16 that you were looking for and a x16@x4 PCI-e. And it also has 6 SATA 3 ports vs. the 2 (+2) on P67 + 2 SATA 2 vs. 4.

I didn't look for the other stuff because I don't really care.

Except none of those have everything that I'm looking for, but thanks though.

Looks like you won't get a new computer until, at best, late 2011. But, then, don't come bitchin' about prices either. X79 boards are not going to be cheap. Same thing for processors.

Should be out around the time we see some BD benchmarks.

I believe MSI has a similar board slated for about the same time as well.

The price on that thing is going to rival entry-level SB-E boards, which (BTW) support all that stuff (PCI-e, SATA, USB, etc...) natively. And SB-E is supposed to have higher performance then SB/IB.

Hmmm....
if I want to upgrade to Bulldozer, I'll need a new mobo and new (recommended) memory.
if I want to upgrade to Sandy Bridge, I'll need a new mobo.

Way to go, AMD.

Errr.. It's AMD.. they don't throw away anything.. hehehe I bet every dual core is a fff'd up quad core. Why do you think there product line is so wide? I bet it took them this long to build up inventory of highend chips. Don't get me wrong I'm not an Intel phanboy.. I hope AMD kicks ass with there new chips. But it's funny how everybody forgets.. When AMD does beat out Intel at the speed race... then they will want a premium price for those chip, which they will be long over do for..then Intel will sale cheaper premium chips cheaper.. rinse repeat... But good for all of us.

 

[Platibus]

Is there a remote chance the Sandy Bridge lineup will get a price cut when Bulldozer is released, more concretely the i3 2100 and i5 2400?

no one ask you to buy it..

they just say it will work best with 1866. but if you dont have, 1066 can still run with it
