Fx-53

[EmineM]

When is it out? will it be released for S - 940 or 939. When can we expect to see 939 . I cant bloody wait to spend my money on my first amd :)

[saaya]

940 and will be released next week afaik

939 will be in end of Q1 i think ,sometime around march...

[EmineM]

seriously FX 53 will be out next week?

[saaya]

thats what i read... 8th or 9th i think.

its before christmas according to amd, and it takes a few days to get it into the shops plus there will be some other releases next week from a lot of companies who throw out their latest and greatest for the christmas market...

all fx-51 chips run 2.4ghz with default voltage easily and amd is already plaing with 90nm dual core opterons, i wonder why they havent released it already?

what im really interested is to see how an xp3400 does since with 11x multi, it can clock higher with your ram still in 1:1

[CrashOv3r1De]

fx-51 = pos and the design is about to be replaced. their converting to sckt 939 instead of 940 which will soon be forgotten

if you want a real good invetsment wait for the fx-53

[Speed_Mechanic]

The FX-53 will be a Socket 940 processor.

and a 130nm 939 in the spring.;)

[Boyne7]

is this gonna mean large price drops on fx-51s?

[CrashOv3r1De]

yes but soon no one will be using them due to conversion to sckt 940 pin but it will give you some sweet results for a while

fx 939 will actually be cheaper becauseyou weont have to buy regged ram

but still no matter how you look at it it's the fastest POS out there.

"Due to a very complex design, AMD’s Athlon 64-series chips are not that good in terms of overclocking. As a consequence, 2.40GHz clock-speed may not be achievable in commercial quantities of the chips. " -- from xbitlabs link

Id say 3GHz on the first revisions of the chips is pretty good coming from a stock 2.2. :stick:

[CrashOv3r1De]

We seen as much as 3.3ghz on them :)

Hey Crash!

Empty your mail box!!!! :rolleyes:

I heard that the 90nm fx might not be until late next year. Is this true? I really want one of those and i thought they would come out in the summer but i have heard later now.

i like your blue sig better.

Here's the deal... WHY does AMD need to rush the 939?? Answer: They don't. Their current line is ALREADY too much for Intel to handle. They won't release 939 until they have to.

[Jrocket]

Well alot of people are holding back on the fxs because they are worried about upgrading later. So it isnt really a performance issue. Amd is really pushing the fx and they dont want people to hold off so they want to make it more appealing. Also they are trying to set up for the prescott launch. They already have a lead and they want to keep it that way, and if the prescott bombs originally then amd will be in a perfect position to take all the people that were going to buy prescotts and have them buy A64s.

[charlie]

YUP...
AMD will throw the FX-53 and 3400+ out there to fend off Prescott 3.4G and all the usual sources (THG etc. :rolleyes: ) will say the Intel is winner...I just dunno'. They might keep making socket 940 CPU's, FX-53 and FX-55 through mid 2004...UNTIL Intel maked AMD put out the .09nM 939 they won't do it. They have nice yields now and all is good, why mess with it?

[Kunaak]

I am 10 times more interested in a 3400+ then a FX 53...

whats the point of a FX53, if it just has the same 4-14 multiplier option?

now the 3400 on the other hand, just do the math, 11x270 1:1 cas 2-2-2-5...

;)

Kunaak,
Agreed. 3400+ is VERY interesting at this point...the 10.5 and 11 multi's will be VERY useful. Supply a BH-5 and some voltage, and I agree 11 x 270 = 3G 1:1 will be REEEAAALLLLL fast. OTOH, IF FX has improved next-gen core that'll do 2600 stable on air/ 3G on Prommy/Vapo, it may be interesting too. My next rig WILL be 3400+/AN50R or K8NNXP + BH-5 with my current 613/451 XT.

Isn't that a bit early in the morning for such mad overclocking? :eek:

[cpulloverclock]

yep 405 ;)
just a WR by who??? A jap of course

yea at -100c with ungodly high voltages, big difference there :eek:

percisely. why bother with fx-53 when its the same chip with a higher stock speed when you can get a cheaper fx-51 that ocs about as good? and an xp3400 at 273fsb is 3GHz there with 1:1 ram itll totally own :D

the xp3400 should be out already

[mongoled]

FX53 will not need to use registered/ECC modules!!
It will be able to use the good stuff we use!

That is gonna give it one hell of a boost!

So ti man u get a bit more then just the multis ;)

mongoled and what price? 900-1050$???

[kommando]

Yer but thats good if it dosn't have to the blodoy ECC memory, so overall costs will be down and performance will be up. How cool aye ;)

Personally i wanna see where AMD go with the A64 seris.

Sorry, but the initial release will need registered ram.

[mongoled]

Linky please

True. The Socket 939 version will release sometime in Feb or March 2004. At least that is what I have heard.

A lot of them are doing 2.5 on air as well.

[feesh]

just a question for all of you saying that the socket 940 leaves no upgrade path....how are the opteron 1 series chips ocing? Is the 248 doing about the same as the fx-51?? Because the 940 socket will be around along time as this will be the socket for opterons in the future.

[saaya]

-100°C? some FX chips reach 3ghz in a prommie, not 100% stable though i think, but hey! its "just" a prommy ^^

there will be no 130nm 939 chip, there will be other 130nm 940 chips, then we will see 90nm 940 AND 939 chips. the 940 chips will slowly fade out then but amd will make at least an fx-55 so people with 940 boards dont need to switch platforms.

No. Wrong. Not the cpu but more like the motherboards for it. Not one has pci/agp lockage. I think If you have a great mobo the 3200xp A64 will be a great overclocker. Just wait for next gen of mobos to come.

[Penti]

Dr.Demonic69
nF3 pro 150 has atleast locked/fixed AGP frequency thats good enough (It should have fixed PCI bus aswell, but apparently atleast SK8N doesn't). But underclocked HT bus. nF3 pro 250/G is what we all want. VIA will never release an chipset with fixed/asyncronomus PCI/AGP buses in the near future.
