AMD Lowers Phenom II Prices By Up To 15%

I have AII X2 240e 45w chip based on Deneb that unlocks to a quad with no L3 cache and works fine.

See I knew I was right

BTW no 1090T or 1100T on the list? Are they already retired

Who knows? My feeling is they are trying to shift stock and concentrate on the FX lineup. Naturally the high end 1100T and 1090T would have been manufactured in lesser quantities.

Well, according to rumour, AMD is working on 1090FX and 1070 chipsets, as well as possibly giving Piledriver quad channel memory...
Depends on that, really. If it's true, it probably means Piledriver needs the new chipset, if not, then the upgrade path is there for 990/970 chipset boards.

Back November 8th 2011... We all discussed those AMD 1090FX and 1070 chipsets information and most said the socket would be AM3+, that's not in doubt. The thing is will 970 chipset have a good presumption to flash for Piledriver and not be finicky? I'm sure the socket will be there, but can BOIS flash provide functionality. I’d believe so… AMD and motherboard manufactures need to just say, "yes Piledriver will be backward compatible in 970/990FX chipsets". Just say it what so hard about that? http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=154796

But as of today Pcper.com "We have not heard anything about the upcoming (or is it cancelled?) 1090FX chipset, other than it is based on 890FX/990FX" and them keep reading?

They're selling well, and they seem to be more likely to unlock to 6 cores now, from what I've read.
If 960Ts are selling, then what's the point of AMD pushing out new 1090Ts and 1100Ts? They can just lock two cores and have a higher probability of making the sale to customers through their resellers.
I doubt 960Ts will drop in price until right at the very end when there are few left available.

I've noticed lately that the only Thubans available now on Newegg.ca and Tigerdirect.ca are the 1035T and 1045T, two chips that were not previously available on those sites. Those are lower clocked (2.6 and 2.7ghz). The higher performing ones are going somewhere... 960T is my guess.

If all goes well with the shipping gods, mine will arrive tomorrow.
