Launch Dates of AMD 8 Series Chipsets

[Hell Hound]

If ECS makes another 160 watt board based on 890X/GX I'll try one,last time I had a ECS I had a DURAN 800.

Did it sing Hungry Like the Wolf for you?

[Lightman]

I work for AMD, we don't make boards. And, I am not hooked into the client side. I'm sure I could go hit some connections up to try to get a free board, but I don't mind supporting our board partners.

However, I won't be buying any CPUs

I will overcompensate for that

I'm not HP or DeLL but few more CPU's sold is nothing bad is it?

[Hell Hound]

You got me I cant edit now huh.

[radaja]

why does AMD always release the integrated graphics(lower end) ones first?like when they released 790GX and then the 790FX Enthusiast boards later?

It's about what's ready first.

i dont really see the benefit of getting this board(890gx) over current 790gx, or 785g unless you have a SSD or planning on getting a SSD for usb3.0/sata3

[Hell Hound]

Dual x2 support,3X pci-e slots,onboard HD 4300,display port,and DDR3 1800 support thats not too bad.

[radaja]

It's about what's ready first.

then why dont they just get the 890FX ready first,instead of making the enthusiast's wait
seriously though is it harder to make the fx version than the integrated graphics version(tweaks to the chip and what not)?

[dreamdx]

So, if im not mistaken, the 8series should support IOMMU right ?

Nice HTPC mobo finally ps2 is history

Probably...

So.... They (AMd) have a product ready (890gx), but they should not release it because another product (890fx) is not ready.
Where the logic here ?

[Dyn0miteMat]

Will the x6's work on the 790fx chipsets (my crosshair iii formula)? Or will they only be supported by 890 (or is it a manufacturer decision; as in its possible with a bios update?)

[lkiller123]

So that means that Thuban will be near. Good going.

[Dumo]

thats not what i said or asked.so where the logic there?
im asking why is the GX always released first?is it easier to make?
isnt it almost the same as the FX chipset with out the integratedGFX?just trying to understand what the difference is and why they follow this release
schedule each time?understand?im not saying that they are holding back
products because another isnt ready,ok?

[aznsniper911]

hmm should i upgrade from a 790X...tempting this is

[Sn0wm@n]

just in time for my next build... finally .... go go go amd hopefully those 8 cores desktop amd cpu will fit nicelly in my budget

[Behemot]

Nice HTCP mobo finally ps2 is history

Finally? Man, I have PS/2 or Serial only mouses at home

[Nightstar]

Nice HTCP mobo finally ps2 is history

You say that as though it's a good thing.

[n!Cola]

Well for HTPC no use for ps/2, ps/2 is only good for pro gamers or such, time to move on.
More space for video connection is good IMO.

[Hell Hound]

Should I take back this 790GX hhhmmm.
