Your kidding, right. The stock price has everything to do with the companys "stability" and "how much money they make". If AMD was profitable and wasn't laying off employees, the stock would be $3-4...

To put som more color on this, AMD is near all time lows today, going all the way back to their '82 IPO. Down another 3% as of right now, oh how about a new all time low of $1.80 and a $1.3billion...

And like always, today their down 4.4% as of this writing. What a shock!!!!

Edit, at close, a fresh new 3 year low in the stock.

This company has real problems, as Ive said, especially at this...

Microsoft is dropping security updates and support for XP in Aug 2014.

Ya, it is serious for AMD, especially at this point of the ecomonic cycle. While INTC can ride this out till Win8 arrives and XP is shut down in ~1.5 yrs, AMD has no resources to do the same. Thats...

I dont see it that way, the processor is a much better cpu than the current TIM/IHS system allows. There are 25+ examples in the forum just under this one of what the cpu is with what Ill call...

Those IB numbers are really bad because of INTC screwing up the TIM. When u remove the IHS and use a good TIM, those #s come way down on CPU core and temps. Anyone that OC's a IB pulls the IHS now....

Correct, there are a number of regulatory issues with AMD being bought by another company. And yes, there are a number of agreements that essentially make it very difficult for any other company to...

What do we think will be the cost on that?

Again, looking at those pics from the last page, INTC is really missing the boat here and screwing themselves. That TIM is so poorly applied and way too much of it. They would be served very well...

It looks to me that INTC is doing a poor job of applying the grease also. There putting way to much on. With thermal grease, less is more. Its really hard to find the right amount. Too much, too...

I can see where removing the IHS and putting the heatsink directly on the die is problematic for most. W/O the porper spacing/spacer or whatever is needed, users trying to do this seems very hit and...

Great review, will be getting my V Genie tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

MicroCEnter just has a sale on 2600k, $199, there all sold out as of this morning!

RussC

Exactly,
The benchmark is not useless, sorry. Its completely informative. Too me, AMD can't produce a processor that can touch INTCs. Untill AMD makes a processor that execute x87 code as well as...

Sweet, really looking forward to finally dumping this AMD stuff for some real processing. Gotta start making my new system bullet list. Defintely going with a new case, probably a Corsair 800D. ...

Arent there companies that bin cpu's for u. I believe one is on Ebay if i remember. There must others also.

RussC

Yup, looks great, thats my next processor.

RussC

Wow, those power consuption #s are shocking. I dont remember them being quite that bad. Oh my my.....

>Good review of FX-8150 with patchs at Techpowerup

You will NEVER "stumble" into a revolutionary fast design. Either you go there or you dont, sorry!

RussC

Um, did i miss somthing, it says he "exercised? them, not sold. You have to evercise your options before u sell. I didn't even see at what price the exercise was.

RussC

Great, ya, the code readers will show u the hex and ascii, so u can read that stuff. Good luck,

RussC

Um realisticly, your hosed. The code in the prom can be dis-assembled back into assembly. But w/o the actual source code, you don't know where your at. What you really need is an emulator, that...

And gees, the 8120 is cheap. I was just a Newegg, the 8120 is only $20 more than a 1100T!!! Um, I guess thats what AMD thinks its worth!

RussC

Yup, higher clocks mean higher power.

Um, looking at everything, FX is an enthusiast CPU, and I see no reason for enthusiast to upgrade except the lure of super high clk speeds under LN2/HE. ...
