Forget FX57.....Until FX55 SD get slapped with -90C and boot, the field remains open :D
I wish, a 760 is well over $400;)Quote:

No, actually memesame and the others are all on 730, 740 and 750's... the 760's and 770's are tough to run because the multi is too high.Quote:

I snagged my 730 for $140 shipped @ ebay ;)Quote:

Haha, I can't even express how happy I am with this cpu, "stepping down" in speed from the 3.2E to the 1.6 dothan, I noticed even at stock speeds, all games ran smoother with the dothan. Best of all, I sold the 3.2E for $160 because it's STILL priced up around $220 on newegg. If it didn't need the socket adapter, I would have actually made money on an awesome upgrade.
I love it, but I have to admit, I really wish this chip was 64bit / multi threading capable... 64 bit will be a big perk once games / programs start to finally utilize it.

Likely enough to offset the extra gained from the extra 30C below you'd achieve on the dothan. Also, what about Dual GPU cards.. That's still technically a SINGLE card... In otherwords, the FX-57 would still win.
Dothan isn't fastest unless it wins a majority of the tests, and thus, the FX-57 is still the clear winner of this poll, like it or not. I can promise you more tests can be named with the fx-57 winning than the dothan. Guarenteed... This makes it the fastest.
It'll have to be dothan if FX57 has cold bug.
:D If - and I say if FX-57 will have a cold bug I expect it at ~-90°C like the other Sandy cores. So there should be no problem to run i at -50° - -60°C on a good single stager.........
:toast:
i have a question:
should i buy fx55 san diego now or wait fx57 ?
:D This question can only be answered by Yourself - I'm waitin' for the FX-57........Quote:

something to chew on...

I'd wait... Probably will cost the same... And no much time to wait suppose... :confused:Quote:

So my vote goes to the X2.
The problem with X2's is that there aren't any multithreaded applications this summer. Next summer, yes, this summer, no.

:D Take a look at my SIG and imagine a FX-57 at..... - let's say 13 x 283.
Should be a big boost in SP 1M and 3D'01........... :p: :p: :p:
:toast:
I think there needs to be a set of benchmarks set to have a real winner not just ut2004 or SP 1M.
i want to see if the fx 57 has cold bug if it doesnt maybe we have a winner buti voted for the x2 future proof
dothan x FX 57 = 9800xt x 6600GT
dothan dothan til 2010 still dothan :rolleyes: ... no new tech..
just dothan.. where is pentium for desk??
i vote for FX 57
coz intel sux
I vote X2 because I game and encode, and do all sorts of shat at the same time and it pwns all... I don't play cyber olympics though I do enjoy watching very much:)
Looks like fx57 will have "it" after all :FX55 SD wont work @ -60C with LN
:confused: Hm, just a thought - ppl say cold bug is caused by mem controller.Quote:

:toast:
IMO it'll be an FX-55 which has got + 200MHz. Both are San Diegos, so i think they'll be the same except of the stock speed...
I think I'll stick to my FX-55 and skip the FX-57...I hate cold bugs ;)
Imho, its higher binned 55 with 57 hard coded. It was with LN cooling though. Still waitin result with cascade to 100% verivied it :D . If it proved that the latest FX only reached 3.7Ghz cpu (maxed) :D then Its time for 0442GPMW back...from short retirement :toast:Quote:
