19 September Launch Day for FX Series Processors

[WhiteLotus]

Hmm, right around when I'm building a new computer. To be one of the first to experience the new chips, or not to be....

 

[TheMailMan78]

I haz the 1866. Just needz da BDz.

 

[Disparia]

Nice. Will see in mid-Sept what Intel has planned for X79/SB-E. If it's close, I'll probably just wait. Otherwise an FX-8100, 990 board looks good.

AMD is working with motherboard vendors to ensure adequate propagation of socket AM3+ motherboards, and more importantly, for DDR3-1866 MHz memory to become more affordable, since FX processors yield the most optimal performance with that memory speed.

Shoot, I paid $226 for 2 x 1GB of DDR-500 for my Athlon 64 X2 system (my last personal AMD system). Now I can get 16GB of DDR3-1866 for $170. Well, if AMD wants it to be cheaper... I'm not going to stand in their way.

 

[Lionheart]

Finally a release date AMD, I'm really looking forward to BD and hopefully give intel a run for its money...^_^

are you consumer or producer?

you talking like you are the one of those RAM manufacturer who just got p*ssed by AMD wishes

 

[TheLaughingMan]

I am glad this was finally allowed public. Maybe this will convince the people posting rumors, speculation, and complete BS to just stop.

We are in the final stretch here people. Real facts, real dates, and with a Sept. release we should get real benchmarks in late August to early Sept.

Now I need some quality 2133 Mhz RAM

 

[Hotobu]

I'm hoping that AMD takes a dual fisted approach and drops its 7000 series GPUs as well.

 

[Steevo]

Except you're 100% wrong.

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

So you plan on having a RAID 5 volume with 4 SSD's, 4 Blu-ray drives, and 4 3TB drives for storage.......


A PLX chip so you can have 10Gb T base networking on your 5Mbit connection and some extra USB 3.0 ports to connect your phone, camera, camcorder, extra five external drives, USB mic, USB keyboard on 3.0 so you can l33t faster, and still plug in your xbox controller.


And lastly dual X16 crossfire as we all know W1zzards testing shows that anything less is uncivilized doesn't make a damn bit of difference..

Yeah.............

 

[Disparia]

^ Hey now... I actually want to do some of that

are you consumer or producer?

Just saying that I can live with today's prices. If they can go lower, no problems there. Just hope that someone doesn't have to sell one of their children so the rest of the family can eat.

Yeah.............

Actually close to that yes.

Troll Fail.

 

[tilldeath]

IMO it will be good and out pace all SB, however I think SB-E will be the competition however once second round of BD is released in Q1 it will again be a toss up. Only difference is Intel will be more overpriced so.......

 

[Steevo]

Fact is not troll.

I have seen some of your threads, if you are willing to pay for that level of disk performance you should just pull out the stops and do it right and use SSD's and a external array, liquid cool it and use better RAM than you have been looking at.

 

[de.das.dude]

well only know as soon as we see some benchmarks if AMD pwns intel or not XD

 

[TheLaughingMan]

It will not be a toss up once the Sandy Bridge E is released. It will be the most powerful desktop chips on the market hands down. It will also take the Intel $900+ price segment so it will not be practical for most users.

I am sure Bulldozer will sweep Phenom II under the rug with ease, but can it compete with similarly prices 2600K is the question we all need answered.

 

[ensabrenoir]

reality

Wow actual facts and release date that don't include the words somewhere. Can't. Pick on the dozerphiles anymore was fun while it lasted. now let's get serious with some performance #. Would b nice to think intel will drop prices on their. Mid and upper rage cpus, but they'll just release. A suped up unlocked i3/ i5 or something for a little more $ and undercut it. The battle goes on. Bring me more popcorn

suped up i3?
those are freakishly bad.
i5 is okay.

true but. Its. Intel were talking about. If dodge could make a srt. Neon (terrifing powerful & fast for an eggshell of a car) nothing is impossible

 

[a_ump]

honestly we have no idea how SandyBridge-E will perform as we know less about it than BD. Though i do enjoy the idea of AMD feeling comfortable to release in Sept, knowing that they probably have more info on Sandybridge-E than we do.

if you think the srt4 neon is fast, I feel really bad for ya. things don't get harry in my book till I see 2000hp in a car with registration and plates.

But that performance gaps comes with a humongus price difference.

Have u ever riden in a neon? If taking one of those designed 4 55mph econoboxes uptp 120 + isn't terrifing imust b getting old terrifing as in this thing gonna disentergrate l and ima have to fred flinstone it

Indeed oh wise black man from the north country.

And a collective squeeee was heard across the land as the AMD nerds finally knew the date they could finally purchase Zambezi.

ever ridden in a mustang with 2000hp, a convertiable top and no roll cage at 170+ and getting there from a standstill in about 8 seconds flat. That'll give you goosebumps.

".....for DDR3-1866 MHz memory to become more affordable, since FX processors yield the most optimal performance with that memory speed. "

Does it mean that using a RAM with higher clock speed yield no additional performance ? :S
