Dude if the Destroyer becomes a good board, I am going to buy one and a 9850 to go with it.

Hey Achim:welcome: I mean their New Generation of server boards Not old Nvidia chipset and updated PCB:yepp:
That board was not listed few weeks ago.
G3MX Stuff will come 09

You know if broadcom or nvidia working on newer chhipset meanwhile?
EDIT: Found a roadmap, hard to read. Looks like nvidia uses 3600 and broadcom 2100, so no real new stuff here.

Actually they are supposed to be AMD/ATI
AMD anounced 2007 that they will release a server chipset with sandtiger. I could not find anything that they plan server chipsets for budpest. :shrug:

From what I understand the 790fx is still suppose to be their top end chipset. Capable of full 3 and 4 discrete card CrossfireX.
790GX is suppose to be like a cross between the 780g chipset with the built in graphics processor, and the 790X chipset which is the trimmed down version of the 790fx. From what I've seen of the 790gx boards they won't have more than 2x pcie x16 slots, like the old 790x boards. But the built in graphics on the chipset will allow AMD/ATi to use Hybrid Xfire on the higher end cards to compete with NVidia's hybrid SLI features.
I just wanna see what the real performance potential is of the spider platform with the 790fx/gx paired with the sb750. If it jumps up well, I'll be upgradin to a deneb based phenom when they release.
:yepp: it's old montreal was not even on the timeframe.

@BrotherEsau, are you aware of an amd press release in 08 mentioning chipset's before sandtiger?
I dont think this roadmap is correct either. If Sandtiger is a 2011 product it clearly should be a 32nm product. Yet Dirk Mayer in the most recent earnings call said quite clearly that the buldozer arch is a 45nm product and will begin sampling in 2009
andQuote:
The Bulldozer core is in development in 45-nanometer technology and we’ll be sampling that in 2009.
Source: Seeking AlphaQuote:
Clearly we’ll give our product line a good pop when we introduce the 45-nanometer quad-core products, code named Shanghai. And then we’ll be introducing a new platform architecture later 2009, early 2010.
That second quote is more ambiguous and is quite likely to be referring to Socket G3 with Sao Paolo/Magny Cours
No DDR3 until 2010, and a Nehalem competitor an year after Nehalem launch.....
Depressing ... but now it's confirmed. Hector Ruiz is a MCM-hater at a time when it could have saved his company. He didn't allow it on K8, and will now disallow it when it can easily be done with two 45nm Shanghai cores.
If I don't see a Shanghai MCM or DDR3 with 45nm in 2009, I'm going VIA :stick:
EDIT: Here we go: Magny Cours will use DCM with two Sao Paolo cores:

Why can't they do the same thing with Shanghai !!

But for the mainstream nehalem will use only two channels and is limited to DDR3-1066 from what i have heard.
I guess tdp or temperature issues due to low-k. I guess they'l benefit more from going high-k than from using ddr3.Quote:

Here is a amd roadmap with chipsetinfo's (found on nehalemnews.com :D).

Hey you guys heard about this "new" cooling solution from IBM:
1. you stack the chips in a way that currently is not possible due to the extreme heat,but they came up with a solution that runs water throe it on
"nano" level. You know that IBM and AMD practically married so ,will see, still 5 years away

when is asus sb750 board coming out?
:rofl:
At this shop there's a SB750 for pre-order with an ETA of 52 days left. But now I think about it, I think it's been on 52 days for 2 days now so:confused:. Maybe Im wrong though. I wont buy that Foxconn A79A-S, however it's a nice indication when we might expect other SB750 boards as well. Although I hope it will be a bit sooner than almost 2 months but well, better late than never:rolleyes:
PS, cant find out to link directly to the motherboard section:p:. So go to 'Producten' --> Moederborden --> AM2 and scroll down to Foxconn section.
K, updated the list finally:D.
Some boards are very unclear or hard to find good information about though. But well, they should be in shops soon enough though:D
I've seen a few boards listed as 790FXB, does anyone know if there is an actual revision to the 790FX chip, or is this just a way for mobo manufactures to distinguish between the SB600 and SB750 versions?
Sorry about the double post, but I found this interesting... :p:
A little more info on the mysterious SB750 and it's OC potential...
http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/06...drive_extreme/
Looks like mobo manufacturers are going to have to make sure the connections are there for all this stuff to work. Hopefully they will!!
If any of our Spanish speaking XS friends could check out the link to ChileHardware and give a little more info I know I'd appreciate it!! :up:
"Suitable motherboards don't simply require a 790FX or 790GX plus the SB750 - they also need a direct connection between the southbridge's seven GPIO pins to the Socket AM2+ processor's CPU pins. The link must be mediated by a 1.8V-3.3V level shifter circuit, the document states."
from article...
very interesting, maybe a bios update for those of us who have sb600 chipsts?
*update on the a79a-s from foxconn* they have now added the board to their site (beyond the changing banner on the home page) and removed the coming soon tag
