First review of Opteron s939

[iS.Terminator]

so were do I buy the opty?l0l, ima skip the 3000+....

[Penti]

Hey, does any stores have the 144s yet? Or any other 1xx 939 Opteron for that matter, they should be out retail from what amd said 1.5 months ago?
Havn't even seen them prelisted here yet.

more

info

needed

i think what we all want to know is, when will newegg have em?

[saratoga]

Can't find the review that states that Opteron for Socket-939 supports non ECC memory, to blind obvioulsy.

But I came a cross this AMD document ...
http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/...,00.html#85258

AMD states again and again "supporting ECC unbuffered memory"
Nothing about non ECC memory support !
But the document might not be updated ?

Confused you will be.

Pretty much anything that supports ECC will work without it. ECC is basically a superset of non-ECC, you'd almost have to go out of your way to not support plain memory. I doubt they did this.

Ok, i can't fiend it anywhere, but i found a shop that had it listed (not in stock) and the product # is OSA144BNBOX for the 939 90nm "San Diego" 1MB L2 Opteron 144 cpu. I want it now!
Seems to be listed at $150 however, i did like the $125 pricetag on it :/
If it pops up anywhere under 150 bucks then I'd like to buy this cpu thru someone in the us if it hasn't came here yet at the end of the month. International shipping to sweden for at cpu would just cost $5-10 at most, without a cooler of course (if with a cooler maybe 20 bucks wich is still cheap).

It would be so sweet sitting with this chip! More reviews please
Edit: Ok damn if it's availble in Czech republic it should be avaible here and in other places, anyways i just mailed a big store in my country about it, so i'll report back on that for the swedish readers of the forum if they say something usefull.

You don't have to worry about customs like we do, do ya ?

[Penti]

You don't have to worry about customs like we do, do ya ?

Because of our taxes it will in worst case cost as much as here (+30% on tot price in customscost). 3000+ price here corresponds to 190+ bucks.
So yes i have to worry about it, but it wouldn't be too high of a cost

However from Czech i wouldn't have to worry as its an EU country now, so it will be no custom.

[Gogar]

Anybody got a clue how expensive this 165 is in $$? lol
http://www.foxpc.cz/detail/4430

edit: 1 Czech koruna = 0.0424719 U.S. dollars says google

now i gotta figure out where it says the price lol

[SlackeR]

Hehe guess the price is 10504,- Kč for Tray and 12500,- Kč for box. Or maybe it is shipping or whatever. Guess the prices uderneath is VAT exclusive.
Very nice chip. I would like to see one in Denmark too.

Edit: if you put a "2" in the field that seems to hold your amount of processors it says 21008,- Kč. So they cost 10504. But that is like two times the price of a Venice 3000+ in Denmark i think??

[VVJ]

What's it gonna be? VVJ's Opteron is a Venus, while some people say it's a San Diego. AFAIK, Opterons have never shared code name with A64's, though the difference may be small in real in real world.

The final version of AuthScanner 2.0 is out! Sorry for the previous bug! It was San Diego, of course.

The 12500 koruna price would be with sales taxes/VAT, as "Vaše cena s DPH" should be your cost plus VAT or something. I can't really make out what the small value under the price is but ofcourse i can't speek Czech.

The cost for the trayed 144 should be 174 bucks + shipping and all that. Checked the distributor for amd in czech and it costs 145 dollars from there excl taxes.

haha i saw an extra 0 in the small prices i think
They could be shipping costs then. But whatever, you found a price. Which is around the price of a venice 3000+ here, too.
But that price is way off the 12500 koruna. That is actually three times as expensive.

Thanks saratoga for clearing that up for me.

I first though they where the shipping cost but that didn't fit with the cost for heavier products or any other product for that matter.
The 12500 koruna price for the 165 is in fact more then the listingprice for the 165 from AMD (417 bucks). Seems an X2 3800+ would be an better idea if you don't go with 170/175 or fiend it cheaper. But they are all great cpus.

Anyways i hope they come here soon, i'll definitively buy one (the 144) as long as it's cheaper then the 3200+ wich it should be. Well i can wait a few weeks, i'll wait to see what the store i contacted say about it first.

BTW i saw that no board has an official bios with opteron 939 support yet, with the exception of the tyan k8e board, hm.
Petr where did the cpu top out, as i understand the 2.8GHz was stable.

X2 3800+ (2 GHz, 2x512 kB) and 165 (1.8 GHz, 2x1024 kB) are not really comparable. Different speed, different cache size.

Anyway, I really hope you'll find those Opterons in Sweden!
I haven't seen them yet, guess it's just a matter of weeks before they'll show up.

Edit: It says "Tray" on foxpc's site, not "Box".

[iS.Terminator]

so can anyone tell me when they're released? Make a new thread or something please, I really want to get one of those chips in my hands.

12500,- Kč is the price inc. VAT. "Normal" price is 13434,- Kč so this - 12500 will give you lower small value 934,- Kč - the amount you save

[Penti]

As he lives in czech they are available in store as mentioned earlier in the thread. Price is like 175 bucks for him.

They are available for sale in our country - here .

[Vandi423]

They're available here in the States. I just ordered a couple of them today. Resellers should be having them soon. I am positive that they have been available in the states well before they were in Europe. I haven't been keeping up to date on Proc. info. so I didn't look for them until fellow member asked me for one.

So we should be seeing soon if all of these babies clock well.

EDIT: Boxed should be $145 and OEM should be around $125
