You think even 0.01% of the people that will get these chips in their pc know anything about them other then: "oh look 6 cores"?

Its like megapixels with cameras, give the general public a bigger number and sales go up, this will sell just fine.

Most users couldn't care less what the CPU is that is in their PC. If the task they want to accomplish happens they just move on.

FM2+ I don't believe is able to do such high power chips even with some of the better motherboards. But I believe it was the cost to make said chips that ended the idea.

If they removed the GPU I bet they could have kept a 95w TDP, but I honestly don't know if that is possible on a normal FM2+ board.

Intel should restart selling i5-2500k than! It's older and better than fx-6300.
Single Molt 2011 Edition i5-2500k.

Remove the GPU and make a dual socket FM2+? that way I can get 4 modules?

They have a server version now. They should just quad socket it and say to hell with things.

suraswami · Dec 15, 2015

a server version with FM2+? where?

thekaidis · Dec 15, 2015

I think the more important question is what on earth is in that enormous box? Are they shipping this with a CLC as well?

Server version of AM1* I am a big fan of the jaguar cores...they just need to be scaled.

AM1, yeah hope they release a 8 core version at 25w!!

"Wow $110 is kinda pricey for that cooler, but at least it comes with a free cpu."

This is how AMD PR dept Played this Realese
3 core's on my wagon and i'm just rolling along The Cherokee are after me

Why I bought my 8320 for $100 2 years ago

Jism · Dec 16, 2015

Technically, it is a nice small upgrade on a abandoned AM3+ platform. I wonder how it competes core to core against a Thuban X6. I happend to have a Thuban X6 running at 4GHz as well.

Nothing wrong with a Thuban, at least it is the fastest IPC on the complete bulldozer circus.

With both overclocked to the max? Ehh in single thread absolutely, but multithreading is a bit different of a game.

dj-electric · Dec 16, 2015

Just wanted to go ahead and remind people that LGA1151 non-K overclocking is a thing. A new thing atm.

calvin1702 · Dec 16, 2015

WTF is this? I am using an old school stuff i7-3770 which is launched at Q2' 2012, yet my processor is 22nm with 77TDP.

And now in Q4' 2015 (almost Q1' 2016), AMD told me they are coming up with 32nm with 95TDP, genius!

AMD and Intel TDP's do not compare...

Correct me if i am wrong ( and i am sometimes snigger )
the last time you could directly compare An AMD processor to its Intel Equivalent was a long lime ago
We are talking

Basard · Dec 17, 2015

Hm... My chip was like 99 bucks six years ago. Unlocked to quad core. 3.8Ghz without even trying.
At the same time, my wife's quad-core Phenom II was 40 bucks more.

I'm still waiting for some progress lol....

It looks like the switch to APUs should have come 10 years later than it did. (And no, I'm not thinking that this FX chip is an APU.)

NdMk2o1o · Dec 17, 2015

Think you'll find the AMD Athlons and x64's pissed all over the higher clocked, hotter and more power hungry Nutburst P4's.... though thats a long time ago as well in itself..

There's been progress, the 8 core/4 module whatever you want to call them that replaced their "true" quad core Phenoms are miles better than them, just unfortunate that Intel's are also miles better than AMD's top CPU's

Not too long ago a number of new AMD 970 boards were released in the $60-75 USD range. Possibly why AMD put out this chip, as a good companion for those boards in a value-build. I'm not saying it's the best value-build out there when compared to an Intel offering, just theorizing AMD's decision.

They were not directly comparable at least in my example you could swap your AMD 486 for a Intel 486 for a direct comparison using
SAME
memory
Motherboard
Ps that is the only way you can directly compare AMD to Intel (or them to Cyrex)

Progress means its now an approximate comparison or as AMD went/ Say ( PR Peformance rated lieing sales fafh )

Yea I kinda read your post again afterwards though CBA editing my original post

Eh, I suppose you're right.... I could upgrade to an FX chip and see some performance. Maybe I should. But to spend so much for so "little" improvement... If I didn't need a new motherboard too I probably would.
