it's too early
- wait at least for the end of August - prices will drop, average level of performance will up
now it's not a time to buy power system - in several months it will turn into nothing

April? Is the NDA up in April? I didn't get a chance to read all 32 pages, but what is the official release date (or is there one)?
I'm waiting for a good time to jump on their stock, the time may be very soon if this will be released in April.
Chip will be launched Fall...but there might be performance previews simultaneously with the R6xx product launch, which is confirmed to be late April, early May.

What would happen if AMD released an inferior product to c2d..? how long can they make it?
Or the last. heheheh
naa, but really, this K8L sounds good and all, but its all speculation. I mean, I am happy with competition, as it forces 1 company to drop their prices. But in the end, all it is, is better benchmark results, and nothing more. My computer gives me enough scores in games that I can play whatever I want, and same goes for doing desktop stuff. Heck, I was happy with my old AMD Athlon 3000+ winchester when I first got it long ago. I am happy with my C2D, but It just doesn't seem that huge of a jump. Neither will it feel when K8L comes out.
All this is, is to get more money from us. I rather have, instead of paying tons-o-money for K8L or Intels upcoming Quad cores, I rather spend 70 bucks on a X2 3600+ or some alternative thats cheaper.
Gimme Kuma !!!!! :p

LAWL i DID indeed! oops. Yeah, but the speculation is that the company wants more money from us, not that K8L is good or not. I have no doubt that will be good, its just that is the performance difference really gonna be enough that its justifiable to go run out, and spend another couple hundreds of dollars over our current Conroe's and Kentsfields? Same I say about Intels upcoming processors. Really not that justifiable. I know I am gonna keep my E6300 until Quad core becomes mandatory (or upgrade along the way to E6350, and sell my e6300 for a bit).Quote:
You just speculated there yourself?
I'm still here, playing the wait and see game.
do you know where to get the new amd road map? any of you have a link or a pic of it? i cant find it, plz help.
You mean you never met Lithan?
AMD could simply do what Intel did last year. That argument about not wanting to hurt current sales is BS IMHO. If they think folks are waiting from K8L and not buying Intel, those same folks are sure as hell not buying Athlons and Opterons, common sense:rolleyes: Thank goodness for low-end sales.
For every AMD Fanboy on this site sake, they better hope K8L is not anywhere close to 40% faster than everything. If it is, they can cheer the win, but their Wallets and Purses will cry out in pain LOL! For the record, I made this same warning to PetNorth months before X2's launched. I was pretty close to the Launch prices.
All K10 or whatever to do is be competitive and its greatness will be yelled about from the mightiest of Websites from far and wide LOL!
All I'm saying is that if AMD truly wanted to inform their supporters, users, fans, stockholders and anyone else, they could show what they have. That was what I referred to "AMD could simply do what Intel did last year". In the past, when AMD had something, it was leaked or even talked about openly. When they didn't, it was kept quiet. Example, AMD knew Athlon64 kicked booty so they showed it over a year ahead of time and at only 800MHz. Intel does the same thing BTW.
I honestly don't know what Barkie or Penny will do. I was just saying that folks hoping for some kind of sweeping victory might want to rethink their view. *IF* K10 was 15% faster, what would AMD sell it for? X2 showed they are greedy Bastards! Have we learned anything yet?
IMHO, When both are on the Market, we'll find they'll be app dependent and trading off wins. Fans will have knock-down drag-out fights over who's better. This will be a boom for Forums all over the web.
None nn-step . But you must have been doing good stuff . You won't believe the no. Intels puts out but you add to anything amd says.
Its been proven time and time again that AMD has been out and out lying to the public.
Intel it seems has been very forthright is what they discuss.
You are the same nn-step that said penryn was a simple shrink are you not?
45 % higher FP than conroe is penryn .
20 % higher game play at same clock as conroe.
Simply put in the majority of apps. Penryn will be 20% faster the conroe clock for clock . Something your in denial about but its well documented here at XS. Than you look at the O/C of the Intels K10 hasn't got a chance/
Its A lot like your OS you can show it but it still doesn't cut the mustard. LOL
