Official release of venice and diego on April 15th!

[Evil_Spork]

i thought it was known, but a trip to the venice watch thread told me otherwise.

this is directly from AMD.
the 4th was the NDA lift date, and the 15th of april is the official release date for venice and diego.


also, the reason for the winchester cold bug is the memory controller, and AMD *IS* working to fix this.

they do know, and are fixing it.

edit: more info i should add: some venice and san diego chips will have issues with cold temps. the problem is not fully fixed yet but as i said, AMD is trying to fix it. so it's likely going to be hit or miss on venice/diego chips working in the cold for now

that i can not confirm, and nothing was said about the fx. but i think its pretty soon. by my own speculation: inside 2 months for sure.. maybe less than a month away. /speculation

When you say 15th will vendors have em in stock by then or do they just begin to ship?

[mrlobber]

w00t, I'm getting the 3700+ San Diego as soon as possible

Care to elaborate where did you get the info (other than that "straight from AMD" )?

[rzonealley]

haha venice here i come

[gundamit]

So AMD is working on the cold bug. Its great that they're working on a problem that would only be a problem for very small group of people. I'm happy with my Winchester but I'll be anxiously awaiting confirmation of the fix so I can start shopping. Thanks for the update.

They were even nice enough to release it on Pay-Day so I won't have to float any bills to buy my new system!

[Patrickclouds]

thanks for info
if the problem of the cold bug is solved, i´ll think of buying one of the new chips.

[sandybeach]

6-8 weeks + still for the new top fx line chip
2-4 weeks for the venice

these would be shipping dates not release

Sweet! Looks like I'm getting a 3500+ San Diego next month.

[Mcklain]

Do you think the memory controller on the San Diego core will be better than the one on lets say an FX-53. Overcloking wise??

Thanks for the info. Could you post a link to the article, it should be a good read. Specially the part about the cold-bug issue.

it wasnt an article. it was amd who said it. my source asked not to be named but he was chatting with amd and thes tompics came up and these are the answers given by amd.

15th as in i think they shipped already cuz a few places have them already.(local stores only, they likely dont know they are a differant chip)

i think on the 15th places like newegg will be able to have them on their site for sale.

IMO this is more speculation, this is the 3rd thread or so with somebody who spoke with somebody who spoke with AMD, etc. I'm waiting out on a Venice just like everybody else, but I've had everything but my processor ready for my new PC since the beginning of April. I'm about to just buy a dud Winny for $120 and deal with it for 1-2 months until I can actually get my hands on a new chip.

Edit: I would also like to note that this statement:

Cannot be viewed as "Answers given by AMD." If the information is not publically released, you should not be advertising it as such. The validity of this "source" seems sketchy at best.

Alright, gentlemen. Cool it.

[cupra]

[scrible88]

Sweet! Can't wait for some mass mainstream results on the venice. I'm really anxious about the 754 Turion release.

[Jimi...]

Anyone know if these will be released in the UK on the 14th?
