19 September Launch Day for FX Series Processors

[Steven B]

I mean ORB does have a CPU, a very early ES, do yea hes got benches, but they aren't even close to what a real final silicon will be. This is very typical of AMD, b/c their silicon yields are very low for early ES CPUs and increase as the production happens.

I don't condone that he puts up BS, but i am saying that part of his stuff is probably not made up.

Yeah usually ES is a very different creature from final consumer level products.

The BS makes the rest of anything he says BS as well. Boy who cried wolf, and all that.

I would agree if it was malicious, but I don't think it is.

According ot his blog, it WAS malicious. I mean, I'm not gonna give dude any more hits, but you cna find his blog. Read it, and tell me you'd repeat that comment again.


I mean, whatever. I just expect a certain level of professionalism from my peers, and in this situation, I find professionalism greatly lacking. TPU has become very much anti-FUD, and that's exactly what OBR intended when posting all that...FUD.

[cadaveca]

Peers?

 

[fullinfusion]

Damn these BD threads are becoming more and more repulsive as time goes by

I'm liking the 3.9ghZ and the 4.5GHz Turbo straight outta the box...

September hey? Hmmm

Fair enough, I simply take everything with a large grain of salt, when it comes to leaks and ES and such.

It wasn't Hello Kitty. And slightly different.

I figure the success of the FX chips comes down to price point. If they get in right where they should be (relative to performance) then they'll be a huge success. Considering that AMD has taken so long getting these puppies to the window, I'm thinking they will have a harder time setting a competitive MSRP.

That is the most manly thing I have ever seen.

The only "peer" you have here is me. A fellow Troll Union member. TPU Chapter 1337

 

[PopcornMachine]

WTF you talking about, Willis? I reviewed a AM3+ couple of boards a while ago, and the 990X board supported both, even came with an SLi bridge.

See here?:

:shadedshu Ah, you ninja editor you. mATX, OK, ok...I'll ask around.

Sorry about that chief.

Yeah, if anyone knows of any mATX for 990/bulldozer, let me know thanks.

LuLz. You just wanna try to ascend to my level somehow, eh?









Back on topic though, I guess I'll have some real numbers of my own by the end of September, if this is correct. I was kinda hoping for it to launch on Friday, myself, but that's just me being selfish.

 

[suraswami]

If the price is right I might try out one of 6C proc.

I agree with that, i don't like when ppl do stuff to get hits when they dont deserve them.

 

[ap4lifetn]

i hope it beats out SB and comes close to SB-E

i feel like intel has been just stringing along, they could have probably released a 4.4GHz SB chip already, but lack of competition has made them unwilling to unleash such performance.

 

[YautjaLord]

Finally they did it. Now let the anarchy begin for all i care.

Gotta see though how it performs once it's out & benchmarked right away. And yeah - September 19 is a f***load to wait, but also a f***load of time for me to save for this. Great news bta, now i know i have enough time til i fill up my webpages building/designing portfolio & get some $ for it.

Oooh! 95w 8 core cpu. That would be awesome if my board will run one.

 

[Platibus]

Thanks for ignoring my question, I mean, talking about cars in analogies is more relevant to the topic, right? :shadedshu

Well, no offense, but you're asking a question that only Intel can answer in a thread about AMD, so yeah, it was ignored. Noone has an answer = no response.

Price for Sabertooth 990FX already gets lower, atleast in Israel: once it was released it was priced ~1500 sheckels, now 1000 sheckels (~250 USD); wait till September 19 (the date FX-8150/8100 released ) & if the price sinks all the way down to 200 USD - buy it!!!!!!!!! lol jk I know i will, though i will also wait for actual benchmarking numbers once the CPU released & tested here, hopefully by bta or Wizzard. all

I asked that question here because the launch date of new AMD chips is nearer than Intel's, if Intel were the ones releasing Ivy Bridge in September then I would've asked in that thread. And seeing that most have been in the market for a long time, I was hoping you could account from your experience something like what I asked happening before. Anyway, like you said, no answer, no reply. Saying "only Intel knows" earlier was too much work for you I guess, thanks anyway. Keep on topic.

The only thing I wait for when a piece of hardware is released is:

A W1zzard certified review.

Then and only then will I make a decision to buy, to wait, or go an alternate route.
