I think the appropriate price is $800-$1,200 (US).
Shows more about what you know then the prise :p:Quote:

Be 'in the know' and spend a lot of money. Generally if you don't know how to get one then you won't be getting one as its all about trust, people won't want you to spill the beans who sold you it this early as it could cost them there jobs.Quote:

If its an Extreme Edition it'll cost $1000 on launch, expect to pay a lot more for a 6-month before launch CPU.Quote:

If the price is right for me i'll buy it soon. :)
The X6800 is Conroe, not Kentsfield.Quote:

That is one impressive computer chip, no doubt about that. :) But don't count AMD out yet. They have been owning
Intel on game performance (which is the only reason most PC owners go out and buy these expensive chips to begin
with) for a long time and now Intel is on a major counter attack, bringing the full weight of their engineering excellence
to bear. But AMD is supposed to have their quad core chips out in the first quarter next year, so we'll see how they
stack up then. It's going to be very interesting. :) AMD was dumb to go to DDR2, their low latency advantage was
enhanced by DDR, they should have gone to JEDEC and gotten a new DDR 433 or 466 spec. That would have given
better performance.
Of course, these multiple cores are pretty useless for games. We're just now starting to hear about games coming
out later on that might make some use of two cores. Personally, I'd rather have a FX-57, but 600MHz faster (FX-63?),
running on DDR at 250MHz at 2,2,2 (you can get memory now that will do that). That would *own* in games! :)
A Conroe @ 2.4 Ghz, owns a FX-60 even man.. What are you talking about...
Id rather have a E6300 than an FX-60....
I said a FX-57, but 600Mhz faster than a 57 clock speed. So that would be like a FX-63. Then,
of course, you can OC beyond that some. Then combine that with OC'ed 250MHz DDR (DDR 500 equivalent)
at 2,2,2, timings. That would rock in games. :)
A 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo can already see off an FX-62 in most if not all benchmarks, which is the same speed as an FX-57.
Now add your proposed 600MHz to the FX-57 for your proposed FX-63 and 533MHz to the Core 2 Duo to make the X6800 and remember that even in a single threaded games that dual core offers a performance increase thanks to threading in graphics drivers and the fact Windows can offload background processes and the Core 2 Extreme would offer a clear benefit.
I've made the mistake of going from dual to single processors in the past (Prestonia-1M 3.2GHz Xeons to Athlon 64 3500+) and HATED the A64, I certainly wouldn't make the same mistake again.
The one showed by coolaler is a quad core Conroe.Quote:

It may well be two Conroes on one substraite, but its not the Conroe out next month.
Shouting about how much you want one and how you'll pay a fraction of what people would want for them is not going to get you one either.
Yes, there is a bit of benefit from the background processes and such, but the single core will OC better.
So you take that FX-63 and then OC it maybe 300MHz on air, or 600MHz - 800MHz or whatever on AC,
and then match it up with proper DDR (500 or faster effective) at 2,2,2 and you have a gaming monster.
Low latency rules in gaming, forget that DDR2 junk. :)
I dont want to start an argument.Quote:

Thorburn looks like your in the "know" yourself. :D
For what your running and your Kentsfield do they match up with Coolaler is getting as well. This looks fantastic.
Cheers!!

Doesn't matter if it were a FX-66 besides it costing more, it'd still be slower=PQuote:

Faulse. DDR2-800 will prove to be 1 to 9% faster than DDR1 when the smoke clears. The problem still will be AMD adding something to the architecture to speed up K8. AMD will have to do a Yonah to Conroe update for K8 to K8L.
Results match yes.Quote:

1001 people speculating doesn't help matters and at a time of transistion to have a bunch of people who don't know whats happening, what is truth and what is rumors, etc all spouting opinions isn't helpful, its down right obstructive to those who seek genuine information especially when fiction because commonly acknowledge as fact.
Well teach me master!Quote:

i need to see the 06 score of a kentsfield an g80 lol...then ill know what to expect in 7 months.
The latest NVIDIA design has apparently only just taped out, it'll be a few months until we see any solid results methinksQuote:
