Steppings 0512 to 0530 should be ok with less than -30 cpu core temp.
0531 and up seem to cold bugged big time with xtreme cooling..
Really? :)Quote:

I have have a friend who was on the 59 project.. He conforms that it wasn't "Cost effective" by AMD's standards..
what ever the :banana::banana::banana::banana: that means..
I think you should wait until you get some results back.
Lol , i have a real bad feeling :D that thats what exactly i am going to get ... a cold bugged FX57 :nono: :( Don't think NewEgg has old batch chips left :(Quote:

May be i just should get FX55 SanDiego and hope its old batch because of its not very popular and pray that it will clock good and no bugs with subzero cooling ? :confused: Now i am really confused .... :( :confused:
PS and offtopic (sorry :) ) : Did anyone purchased FX57 recently from NewEgg ? If so plz share your results , batch and week and if it has a cold bug or no . :toast:
I'm suprised AMD would pull out and not offer a 3GHz chip. But i was suprised when Intel didn't release the 4GHz chip. That may just be me and my obsession with round numbers.
Very low yields?Quote:

Sounds good im deffinitely going to give it a try. Will have to sell this FX57 when Jan comes but whatever if its for a better CPU i dont mind losing 150-200$
Don't count on getting higher benches with a dual 2.6 core as opposed to your 0516? 57 single - well at least in single threaded apps. ;)Quote:

The market for expensive high end single core CPUs just died quickly as dual cores clocked pretty high.

Any sane person gets a dual 2.6 over a 3.0 single core.
For some peeps 3D'05 @ 19K is more important than 2X 2.6Ghz :)
And the price to pay for it.....doesn't really matter.
Just my 2 cents...
FX60 will be a blast for multi tasking system :toast:
A FX60 will the pride of my next rig. As long as it is less than $1,500...
my guess it would be $1200Quote:

the Fx-60 will be 2.6 Ghz but with the unlocked multi and the redesigned IHS it will be a beast.
