Excellent mate - You're the man today.......

[perkam]

Methinks a dual core for half the price is the way to go this time around...

im with perkam i preffer ten times more a 4400 or 4200 rather than a fx57 in the near future we will see which one is faster

Seems like a better deal yes! But still looking forward to see how they do

[RaptorRaider]

What's the difference between their CPU and an FX55 San Diego?
Theirs being an 'engineering sample'?

Heh...different multy.

[RaptorRaider]

From what I've seen in their pics the CPU they use seems to have a default multiplier of 13x.

I mean the first picture on the second page.

They call their 2.8Ghz shot 'overclocking'.

[Cooper]

This is overclocking comparing to FX55.
It`s just a preview of how FX57 will look and perform like. The real FX57 will have SD core and x14 multy.

[RaptorRaider]

Then why do they call theirs a 'special FX57 engineering sample' and do they photoshop the pictures?

[Cooper]

I think it`s just a joke. I don`t see the reason why should they edit the pics.

[HousERaT]

I wonder how much they will overclock right out the box with the stock hsf? Not that anyone buying this cpu would, but I'm curious?

[craig588]

I think they are trying to complain that the holdout on releasing the FX57 is just to squeeze more money out of the FX55 line.

They have an FX-55 SD & overclockin' it at 2.8GHz [ fx-57 freq ].
that's what they meant & did.
