    AMD BullDozer Box pixelated...& its different :)

    "Launch of Bulldozerarkitekturen in the form of desktop processor Zambezi approaching and AMD complete right now, the design of how CPU boxes with these prestandamonster might look like. AMD Forum offers an insight into what waits around the corner.

    In the draft that AMD Forum took note of the eight core Zambeziprocessorna called with FX 8 and Black Edition be sold with the following design:"

    You gotta admit that they're really good looking, aren't they?!

    Guys, have we ever seen the Box before some ES-screens? This is slowly getting ridiculous...

    These boxes could be quite an eye catcher in shops. Neat banners, too.
    But yeah, reminds me of DA a lot...

    Uhm, what about the IHS or the whole CPU, it reminds of LGA package and all of us know that AM3+ is not LGA. What are these 2 notchеs (on the side) about? There's no actual use on AM3+ socket, the whole cpu on the boxes is odd.
    If the cpu lid was like shown on the boxes then the retention of the AM3+ socket would have changed, there's no sense in it.
    Actually they are looking like Opterons or old Athlon 64 FX-7x processors.

    Otherwise the photoshop work is nice .

    Don't know why guys keep saying LGA ...




    The HS and notches are just like Magny-Cours.

    And YUP .... gets me all warm and fuzzy

    Magny Cours fits in socket G34, which is LGA. Zambezi fits in socket AM3+, which is PGA and doesn't have the stepped IHS.

    No photoshop, this is the real deal from AMD. Why they choose that look for a CPU I can't say.

    Logotypes are final, box-art and the rest is a subject to change/will get minor modifications. But most likely these are the final box-art and all AMD will do is destroy them by putting on more technical data on them I write for AMD Forum so either choose to take my words for it or get out of here

    It has to be fake. Desktop chips are still going to be PGA. You can use your AM3 CPUs in an AM3+ system after all, which we've already been told. We've also seen AM3+ sockets, and they're still PGA. The box art definitely shows an LGA processor. AMD wouldn't make that sort of mistake. It's a pure traffic grab by the website this was first posted to.
    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Rule 3:
    When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    Random Tip o' the Whatever
    You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.

    It's not a matter of having read your post but rather trust.

    Seriously. If you were suspicious of something and then that guy's best friend walks up and goes, "Oh yeah, totally, he's legit," I doubt you'd be filled with confidence because of it.

    Well excuse me for feeling extremely offended when you imply that we've photoshoped something and released it as fake just to get traffic We have a good relationship with AMD and that is the very last thing we'd do. I would never post something on another site knowing it was fake just to get free traffic.

    Also we never, and I never said "This is the final design you will see on the shelves!", we clearly stated that it's a subject of change, only the logotype is "set in stone". I would understand people's suspicion if we claimed we got hold of the final design for the boxes where Zambezi would retail in but we haven't said anything like that then I would even question my friend which I've built the forum with for the past 2.5 years, but this is not the case...

    As said this was from AMD insight which is a survey with a bunch of people to pretty much review the box-art. And I will say again, logotype is more or less final, the box is a subject of change but will resemble that we see here.

    It isn't my goal to offend, but I'm not going to apologize for being suspicious when pre-release box art isn't normal outside of hoaxes (which are rather normal), there are obvious errors in the art, and the source is a site I've never heard of. I don't know you personally nor do I know your friends, so I can't take credibility from a pre-existing relationship. Don't freak out; back up and look at it objectively from the other side of the table. Why would I accept something like this at face value with the information I have? This isn't to say you aren't being fully honest, genuine, and are absolutely correct. I just have no way to know and have little in the way of being able to establish the legitimacy of your claim. If I am to be governed by reason, I have no choice but to maintain my skepticism in the face of the current situation. That can change in the future if more evidence is presented. There's nothing offensive about it.

    OK,stop the bickering. The boxes are from the survey and are not fake. Can we move on now?
