I voted FX-57, but i wasn't thinking that cold bug at all, i know that it won't have it.. (yeah right).
But here is something better:
AMD FX-57 with air beats Dothan with single stage. :woot:

SHould at least be like 4 like in terms of cooling - Dothanb is good, but not an AMD killer (yet).
Have to consider that this sumer is 64bit release too
i believe many of you cant read. it clearly says if fx-57 has the cold bug, that clearly makes the dothan a winner.Quote:
If FX57 has cold bug below -30C, what will be this summer's FASTEST CPU
thats all you simply need to learn to read :)
p.d. no offenses
Initial top-secret experiments indicate FX57 DOES have the cold bug.... so make your decision carefully!
C
Dothan! :woot:
I think that If someone is willing to drop the cash on a cascade they should be able to pull together enough for a FX. Another reason people probably will go for FX is due to 64bit windows coming out and you can just drop it in a mobo instead of messing with socket adapters and what not. :banana:Quote:

Secondly I think the poll is biased assuming that FX has cold bug and why not throw in dual Opterons on cascade with SLi and 8gigs of ram. I'm sure that would be a blast to play with. :toast:
You miss the ENTIRE premise of the discussion!!!!Quote:

I believe that if FX57 LOVED being -100C, and ran 4g stable... it'd be the TOP CHOICE!!

Let's put out a product that isn't ready for the big time, something that doesn't perform any better then the current generation, and hope for the best.Quote:

I know its hard to produce cores, but when you are charging hundreds for a single CPU, it should work.
People don't buy $900 for gaming, they buy them to break records.
Ok assuming it has cold bug then Dothan would be the bench choice but I still would go for the X2.Quote:

FX-57 will probably be good for DI. Coolaler has already had it under DI. But I still think that as far as pure CPU power, Dothan or P4 3.6-3.8GHz under LN2 are gonna do most damage.
Now, as far as 3D benchmarking goes... There will be probably a different story. Dothan will most likely NOT own ORB in the near future. Why? Answer is simple - SLI and AMR. Maybe in the category of a single GPU, Dothan will be strong (as it's very likely that R520 will have AGP version). But, FX-57 with a SLI or AMR setup will kill Dothan bomb performance. Dothans without ct-479 are nothing, sorry to say that :)
As I'm pretty sure that FX-57 might be tough luck with a cascade (not mentioning LN2) but I would still go with it, if I had cash to spare for it. Overall, better choice for all round gamer and benchmarker.
Hopefully noone misunderstands me... I'll be getting a FX57, too... and just for the reason bachus just gave... AMR!!
That's right, the enhancements to the A64 platform will make the weaker CPU superior. Eventually Intel will catch up using Dothan architecture (Yonah) but not this summer.
BUT, the question still is, "Which CPU will be more powerful this summer"

You just said it has a gold bug, but now you are not sure.. :confused:Quote:

Because I know someone that has ONE and stuck it under a -100C cascade, lol... and it don't WORK!!!!!!!!Quote:

he's saying early leaks, rumors, etc are pointing to cold bug, but it is NOT released, so it may change. He; is expressing what would happen, if the fx-57 has a cold bug.Quote:

- X2 will brake whatever supports dual core.
E7 revision FX57
A good Fx-55 130nm on LN2 if FX-57 has the cold bug for 3dmark, Dothan for rapidly going around in circles.

dothan rulzz :toast:
With the right cooling, a Dothan will rule :)
If the FX-57 has the cold bug, which this topic is about, I'd vote for the dothan. Dothan @ LN2 :eek2:
[baiting]I voted for the Smithfield EE, because i fully believe that its the best processor int he world. [/baiting]
Good old Charlie Brown over there seems to want to start a flame war on enemy territory with his biased poll and crazy talk... :CTF:
7000 is not bad. The thing I am trying to say is that Dothan is missing features like ondie memory controller, so memory performance should be lower than A64.Quote:

Dothan all the way!! :banana:
why is it asuming alot? considering its based on the san daigo core wich has a cold bug. if the fx 57's core was so much different wouldnt it be a different core ?Quote:
