Well, my local Micro Center only got 6 pcs. of 2600Ks on its shelf and stock room today and no plan to refresh inventory next week:)
Could be they make a room for the new cpu?:D

Depends on the batch of 2500K. Early batch's at release weren't that great. 4.6-4.8 the norm on air. Newest batch's are a lot better. 5.0Ghz+ on airQuote:

I hope so. 179.99 8150 would be awesome.Quote:

Maybe a re-post but still worth it I think. Anand posted 4 parts of his own video material from the OC event. You can see and hear Simon talking about high end air,water cooling and LN2 clock targets,temps,robustness of FX(they don't degrade with 1.5V or not as fast as other chips would do) etc. The rest of team AMD FX is there too :

Awesome post. I can't wait to test a 5Ghz 8150 vs a 5Ghz 2500KQuote:

now the real goal is to come up with $500 by the end of october...

Video shows 6 gig at 30 suicide, -45 range I'd guess you could bench that? Dice should be able to hold -50 to -55Quote:

1.5v(no degradation) as said by simone from the video, watch the videos its really informative
Yet another TEASE:p:

I watched some "real" benches.. The AMD holds it's own very well against a 980X and when you kick in the price difference between it and a 980X it's a no brainer.
I'll say it this way, IF I was building a gaming machine I would use the FX8150 and not think twice about it, and buy the family's food for the month with the savings!
Considering they were using 2v for valids, something the didnt even do on Deneb...looks like that would be plausible.Quote:

freeloader informal where did you get $230 for the highest 8150 model? Isn't the price too low considering It should compete with SB 2600 and not 2500 not to mention two weeks ago it was ~$269 and one month ago $300. I get the fact they want to have better price/performance ratio but this price is too low.
Honestly i only have doubts about integer ST performance. I mean, look at BD's FPU. It's way more powerful than k10, i think it will be on par with SB (if not even faster) in ST FP tasks.Quote:

FX-6100: 6 core, 3.3GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) - $188.32
its very good, maybe up to 1.55V as with older Denebs :). We will see, how much next step in voltage help in overclock (for 10-20 MHz up is not sense incrase voltage from 1.5 to 1.55 of course...). Im looking not only for chips (maybe Im crazy), but also at new wallpapers with Scorpion logos :)Quote:

freeloader Then what about 4core SB-E its evident more cache doesn't help much not to mention those prices are just too low.
SB2700 would get just a 200Mhz boost thats not much and Instead of AMD cutting prices Intel should cut the price of SB2600 if It has plans for a new model.
Simply pointing people to what I've read. I have no idea myself what the pricing will be for AMD or Intel at the time of BD's launch.Quote:

chiv is better suited to thuban, ch5 is better suited to bd.Quote:
