Hello?
You there?
Wai?

LOL..900 series...
And january ofcourse :p:
And another confirmation of 2 SKUs. AM2+ and AM3. Seems the 800 series chipset will be out in february.
In reference to this first pic, right side.
So AMD is suggesting 4 ghz on air, 4+ ghz on water? If that's true, either this will be great or
AMD is just blatantly lying through their teeth. We'll see.
I'd like to see the pricing policy over these new babies, if they're competitive enough, i might consider going back using AMD platform rather than upgrading to Yorkfield from my current 4.2 GHz Wolfdale + DFI board.
well 3ghz top bin was expected, since shanghai ships already at 2.7ghz.
Same 300mhz difference was between barcelona and phenom.
But a slightly lol at the numbering... now we have a CI7 920/940/965 and a P2 X4 910/925/940... come on amd... get more original. :p:
also source link missing...
Not original, but still funny if you ask me :yepp::rofl:Quote:

Woot Phenom X3 will have one core less and still same ammount of L3 as X4 :)
AMD's 940 will probably be priced somewhere around Intels 940, but with the unlocked multi and all that...
they might end up as competitive choice:shocked:
I can see the confusion on all tech boards now, a940 vs i940 xD
PS: I don't think the overclocking headroom thingie is a scam, since they're being really realistic about the 9950 ;)
Just a shame they wont even be close to one another in performance ;)Quote:

And whats the * for with the aircooling OC?
Especially for Superpi. :p:Quote:

I would really love it if the 940 BE can be had for under €200, that should make it a really nice deal compared to how Intel has it's lineup priced currently. Although Intel will probably react accordingly, which only gets AMD in a weaker position and that's why AMD will probably not do it.
Why does it have to be AMD? How bout "come on Intel" get more original! :p:Quote:

Alright 4+GHz overclocking (water), sweet, time to move back to AMD:up: Yes, I believe them.
I think if these come out competitively amd will be able to gain marketshare with lower price.
They're trying to corner the market just as the did with 4000 series...can't wait to see the numbers.
AFAIK they want to price them very aggresively so i higky doubt that a940 will be more expensive than i7920.Quote:

Indeed!Quote:

On a side note, everything has to be 9something, and all has to be copied in this world? ...
The * is explained in the Slide.
Itīs Advanced Clock Calibration = 790GX/790FX with SB750.
It also include AMD Overdrive.
Only depends on how P2 hold against yorkfield. :yepp:Quote:

Just Pop in a cheap Q9550 and go to 3,8ghz. High FSB is no miracle anymore with P45 and E0.
If your on a old platform then S939/AM2/775 not 45nm compatible P2 looks good. But also depends on the price, but looking at the past i think amd will grab this one.
If the are equal c/c it still depends on what you own already.
what else do you thinks its for. its so they aren't guarenteeing overclocks. i have never seen intel put any sort of "this is how high these processors could overclock" graphs out and if they did, you can sure bet that they'd have the * too.Quote:

AMD has turned it into a race again, Jan 8th unlocked Phenom II .... coming to my motherboard soon :)
Platform? I'd wait for the Newest to wear off of X58. Get real here, the World's economy will bring down prices.Quote:

If it falls anywhere near i7-940 get ready for an similar price. Anyone thinking it will be priced below the $320 a VAR offered to me (pre-order) for an i7-920 needs their head examined:D
My only concern is NOT the same name or number, but where it falls performance wise. I don't want to see an A-925 X4 running slower than the i7-920 for example, while costing more. More expensive platform or not.
looking forward to that, btw. when does you Ci7 arives. (if you have one ordered) :D ;)Quote:
