    Well, intel prices its chipset higher and gives less.So theres that.

    Yeah, buying into intel is not cheap, but I give you points for attempted trolling.

    That hole is to show the chip.

    Like on the regular AMD CPU packages.

    If it's true I will regard this as one of reasons why zambezi delayed. Sell at 320$ would be shaking the market into bloody hell .

    I'm very sad and thoughtfu because BD was "near" to launch, and now it has been delayed to no official date
    I hoped almost to know something in June, even if BD was not launched. Just to see if we're waiting something special...
    I dont know nothing for sure
    - BD will work on some am3 motherboards like asus/msi said?
    - BD how much will be better than phenom II, core vs core?
    - BD 2 will be on another socket.. am3+ will be supported only 1 year?

    I'm thinking of selling my CH IV and buy an am3+ motherboard, but I don't know if getting a "medium range" mainboard and save money or buying a CH V ...

    a CH V will be too expensive IMHO if BD will not be almost +30% better than phenom II, core vs core, and if AMD will not support and develope am3+ cpus next year..

    -> sorry for my poor english but itsnt my 1st language

    Quick recap.Maybe im gonna be helpful.
    Yes BD should work on selected AM3 boards, and will work for sure on am3+ boards using 7xx /8xx chipsets which are available for some time.
    Performance is totally unknown.All theoretical estimations put it at least above 2600k in multithreaded and below in singlethreaded.However theres new instructions, AES/AVX/SSE4 .Improvement should be at least from small when using non optimized code, to big using new instructions.Its should destroy Phenom X6 no problem.
    Yes BD2 will be on another socket, as for support longevity of Am3+ its unknown.However when in doubt always be pessimistic.
    Youre right on the mainboard front.Its no use to buy now, most probably your board is going to be supported (there is bios already) and buying high end mobo with 990FX seems pointless for you as its the same chipset as 890FX.There are differences in mainbord itself, but am3+ is shortlived.Best advice, wait and see.If BD delivers performance and AMD commits somewhat to Am3+ than it might be a good idea, but not before that.

    thank you for the reply, I agree with you.
    but as you posted
    -BD "should" work
    - ts should destroy Phenom X6 no problem.
    so nothing sure 100%.. I know, maybe I'm asking for something that I cannot know at the moment.
    now, "to wait"is the answer.
    I would like to wait but my problem is
    - if I sell now my CH IV I can surely earn more money than I will earn if CH IV will not support BD or the support will be not good
    - in the case that i sell now my ch iv and buy a medium mb am3+ with 990fx (worst than ch iv in phase power), I will be afraid if BD will work better on the CH IV ( It would have been better not sell my CH IV!)

    so this is my problem, and I hoped to know something in this days but nothing..

    liberato87, you can buy a mobo 990FX for about 120 euros like mine Gigabyte UD3 . It doesnt have to be a highend mobo.

    Asus CIV might support BD, check in asus site. At least some old MSI and Asus mb support BD already. Better wait and see.

    If I was you, I'd run the old mobo until next BD2 if the old mobo supports BD.

    Of course theres nothing 100% solid as of yet ;-) , were BEFORE launch, and AMD dicks around.
    Well, that not fully true.
    We know for SURE that ES samples of BD WORK on CH IV.And that they perform like crap but it isnt sockets fault.

    thank you for the reply.
    I'm considering buy the ud3 (or the ud5..i dont know what to buy I'm just getting mad) , and if BD will be great, I'll upgrade to CH V.
    I would like ro rest with my CH IV, but I'm afraid that if the support will be not great (or if there will be no support on "final" cpu) , I've to sell it under cut price (now I can sell it at good price, I've to add only 10 euro for the ud5)..
    sli is also appreciated..

    Do you know of any 790 boards supporting Orochi? Do you know any AM3 Gigabyte boards supporting Orochi? AFAIK, seems like an ASUS only thing to me.

    Let me check what AGESA code the latest 890 bioses are.

    AMD is not supporting BD on AM3.
    While I work for AMD, my posts are my own opinions.

    It's a shame it's been pulled Q3 (I take you would hope August if possible). As a PR move I would of thought some special LN2 editions for the overclockers would have been in the pipeline, just to get the interest going before the mainstream hit the market.

    Only a few more months of waiting, it's just a shame it's Q3 now.

    He didnt ask if amd supported it.But if asus supported it.
    EDIT .I may have misread you.If you were referring not to the compatibility but performance.This sample is crap on 990FX too.
    As for the date, its even more granular, presentation on computex had 60-90days for PIB availability.

    @BeepBeep.

    I didnt tell otherwise, and from what i remember MSI had some models too with AM3 support.I may be wrong tho.And as for the chipsets ,there are AM3+ 7xx series mainboards out there.

    The TWKR Ph2s were probably just leftovers of a run of non-standard chips AMD had run for other reasons. They didn't perform any better iirc.
    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.

    You have to remember that TWKR's were C2 stepping, they were out before C3 hit.

    I dont know many other C2's that hit nearly 6.8 Ghz:

    C2's NEVER HIT 6.8

    i have a feeling we will see v2 of the TWKR, but in BD form

    ...there are a lot of C3's that wont do 6.8.

    TWKR were defective leaky chips that wouldnt be suitable to sell in any form as they wouldn't fit TDP vs volts needed for stability, I bet otherwise they'd been scrapped.
