19 September Launch Day for FX Series Processors

[Hotobu]

I don't know if this actually says anything since I'm not going to do the math (who uses standard deviation and the speed of light to describe a launch date - back away from the bong sir - nice and slow). It sounds like it might possibly be interesting depending on how fried you are.

Semi-accurate

I'm getting 14 days. When I convert that number, but I don't know how you're supposed to do standard deviation without a number of measurements... unless they just mean using the standard % error from the mean being 14 which would be +/- 6.5 days.

sept 26 seems to be official date for desktop bulldozers Opteron bulldozers (hat tip to Cadaveca, see following post). Since this came out last night, I assume it's already been posted elsewhere.

uh...no.

Advanced Micro Devices will release the first Opteron server processors to feature its new Bulldozer cores on Sept. 26, PCMag has learned.

clickky your linkies.

But you know what? I have yet to find an actual OFFICIAL document stating the release date as September 19th.

So it is October after all, eh? Have to build more then 2 webpages & upload 'em to get the cash for these parts, FX-8150 included. Sabertooth 990FX, AX1200W & WD VRaptor 600GB SATA 6Gb/s are necessity, RAM - doesn't really matter which brand as long as it's 8GB DDR3 1600MHz low latency. I think i'll have 2 long & frustrating webpage building/designing months after all.

It's very possible there's some reverse psychology going on here. I still will not listen to any release date unless posted by AMD directly.
