I do like that! Nice boxes, even better banners.

As far as motherboards go... Crosshair V Formula....
MSI Big Bang Conqueror?

What else is coming for FX990?

I second that! They look frickin' awesome! If I was a dumb customer I'd buy those processors just because of the packaging :D

Eh? there is no octa core cpu's yet. Zambezi, that is desktop bulldozer, is first octa core.

I don't see what your confusion is about. The banner is for the upcoming product release. You can't cry foul just because you've seen it early.

No crying foul. I failed to remember that those banners are in the future. :brick:

The CPU on the box is a LGA packaged CPU.:rotf:

I'm not 100% sure that these pictures have leaked from AMD. Why would it have two different designs for the 8 and 4 cores Black Edition CPUs?

Simple 8 cores vs 4 cores. Thats double the performance there potentially. That warrants a slightly different box.

There are two different designs for 8 and 4 cores as well.

That box looks like they are selling instant punch or some sort of lemonade,at least that what came to my mind when I saw it.

Also unlock supremacy,that doesn't make sense.

On other hand I don't care about boxes,and hope the CPU's will be awesome.

So fake!
First, it's and LGA-processors, second, AMD would never claim it's the first 8-core sisnce it isn't and I seriously doubt that they would use words like mega-multitasking or write anything else that is on that box.

Edit: Even if they were real, I doubt AMD would keep any designs with huge waves for now. ;)

Yes they would.

Watch this, it will most likely melt your brain.

Now that video looks like something AMD would do. Using images on LGA processors and lies isn't the same thing.

No.Just because you think it might look "fishy" doesn't mean it is not real.
The images came from AMD Insight Panel. AMD Insight Panel is a place from where you can see what are guys from AMD planning and their market research work.

The boxes are just a concept art work,not the exact representation of future retail products.That's why you see a double notched LGA chip pictured on one of the candidates.
