Hopefully the new chips are compatible with the old socket 1207 boards, I just bought a MSI speedster
I really hope I wake up to some awesome news in the morning then!Quote:

Hmm, found something for sale but since I've never used their site I can't tell you how legit this is:
http://www.provantage.com/amd-os2376...f~4AAMD22V.htm
Opteron 2376 on sale now for $430
EDIT: If you scroll down on the page they have the rest of the new ones listed for sale as well.
They truly are supposed to be out in October. I'll give it to the end of next week.
Upon looking a little more I found this other site I've never heard of that has this to say:
http://www.needthese.com/AMD_OS2376WAL4DGI_751951.htmQuote:
1-2 Weeks Product is expected to be available to ship in approximately 1-2 weeks.
If you google for the product code you find a few websites that are getting ready for the release and have then listed but say they are Out of Stock. So lets hope that they are already on trucks heading to these places because I want the price of the 2350's to drop, I'll need another one soon.
Holy ****, prices are MUCH lower.

$525 savings for a faster CPU that uses less power!
Not surprising, 2.5 GHz is the top speed for 65 nm Opterons.Quote:

Hmmmm deneb coming out by the end of the month would be nice. Especially if I can manage to get a fat wad of cash for my birthday.

A simple clarification would have sufficed)
Mattias, the problem he's pointing at is that you don't appear to have comprehended. In fact, you took away the exact opposite understanding. :D
What he's pointing out is that for 45nm 2.5GHz quad vs 65nm 2.5GHz quad, the 45s are much cheaper. The 65nm chip will cost you $1300. The 45nm will cost you less than $800. The extended observation was that this drop might be due to the smaller die area afforded by the 45nm process. He was impressed that we are essentially getting a better chip in every respect (clockability, heat, speed) for more than a $500 discount due to the new process.
Mattias, the "old" ones were always for sale on Newegg.Those were Barcelona(65nm) Opterons and they had 4x512KB of L2 plus a 2MB shared L3 cache with top frequency of 2.5Ghz for 2P and 4P capable chips.The *new* ones are based on Shanghai core(improved Barcelona,more IPC,more perf. + lower power draw) and are build on 45nm process node.These have 4x512Kb of L2 and 6MB of L3 and a top speed bin is increased to 2.7GHz(should be a good 20-35% faster than Barcelona @2.5GHz according to AMD).They just started appearing on various sites.Officially still to be launched(i guess this week).
