Unlocked black Phenoms to come next week

[muzz]

I'm personally wondering if Macci had anything to do with this decision.

Maybe a few words of wisdom like " The Phenom needs to attract enthusiasts, and right now it cannot compete without an unlocked multi, due to issues with early revisions of boards/bios and CPU's, at least give them SOMETHING to look forward to.... remember the early days, those unlocked CPU's sold"

Just a thought.... maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt anyone knows that platform better than macci, I'd bet on that.

admit you overclockingwhore, you woudl for sure

[madfaze]

this is great news!

phenoms are so expensive, i need B2 revision for my collection

Black editions will be B3 revisions, i think.

Yeah Baby

Please tell me your not joking

Also is there a thread going where Macci is going to test the chip under ice? VERY interested to see how it does.

[Boschwanza]

Please tell me your not joking

Thats what AMD tells their resellers so this is not a joke . Price is droping already here in Germany .

Black Edition 9600 + DFi 790FX = 3ghz NB 3Ghz CPU?

[Hemi]

My credit card is standing by. Lets just hope they will be B3

[nullface]

I dont think you shall count on B3's

[karateo]

i think it's too early for b3 stepping.
another crap cpu from amd, who uses marketing to fool consumers and make money

You mean in contrast to Intel that used Ads in GAMES to make $?
Even when they were the su<k ?

Lol!
Is it the same?
Amd releases a marketing PRODUCT
Intel released an advertisement!

Maybe true, but if you get OC around 3G and the stability is reasonable, I'd say its worth going for. Esp, if they drop the prices

[muzz]

WTH you talking about is it the same?

You said Marketing!!

Intel and Nv have been putting that garbage in b4 games for years, even when their product su<ked bag.

THAT IS Marketing.

Secondly, do us here in the AMD FORUM a favor, take the rest of your intel buddies,and piss off.

i always had an amd system
i went to c2d because i couldn't wait any more and listen to this king of #@$&#37;^

Anyway, this product is only good for overclockers who care about fun and not performance.
I wonder when the next -10% performance patch will be release!

[cegras]

Performance?

So you splooge in your pants when you can get 20 fps more even though you system keeps 60 stable?

That's nice.

I think you missed the point, with an unlocked multi, the HTT wall is no more, and the Phenom might start to shine just a bit.

Hmmmmmm.........contemplating ....YES.........Hmmmmmmmm....Just Maybe.......Hmmmm.....Oh the Humanity

As is mine. I don't think we will be lucky enough for a B3 stepping. I can't wait to put it under my SS. It is going to be a lot of fun.

Mine too! Need to run som 06Cpu test @ 2750 with 3ghz Nb.....

[akaBruno]

Hopefully now... we'll see something worth bragging about.

[EvilBellyLint]

Hmmmmmm.........contemplating ....YES.........Hmmmmmmmm....Just Maybe.......Hmmmm.....Oh the Humanity

dammit! And here I just bought a 5000+ BE to play with
for a while until "real" Phenoms appear in Q2...
