FX 59 countdown....

[Dumo]

Is it eary Feb '06?

Hope it will be different core than CAB2E 0531

Heres opteron 2.8Ghz.... on the net

Should be earlier
But why would you think it would have the same core as a 2.8 cpu?

Maybe it has something to do with your post over here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...18#post1068418

0531 is the start of new (mem. cont.) revision imo..(XXX2E). Remember 0513s FX55BN and FX57?

Explain?

Is that not a regular Opteron 254?

[furyfax]

Dumo if u have too many of these CPU's please send me one!

Hmmm....I reread my post and can't figure out what correlation you're talking about

Ahhh, I see what you're talking about. That's an interesting theory.....TBH, I've never thought about it, but I'll see what I can dig up.....

[Vapor]

Well, we aren't waiting for a *new* core, we're waiting for the refined versions of San Diego....and I agree with Dumo, we are seeing the 57 go through what we saw happen to the 55 right before the 57 came out.

[largon]

What does that CAB2E mean?

-- new (mem. cont.) revision imo..(XXX2E). --

Do the last two letters (or numbers) of the "5-letter code" indicate memctrl revision? Is there any official (or unofficial) info available about the "5-letter code"?

[lutjens]

I'm guessing FX59 will require a new stepping and/or a large increase in yield before such a speed becomes viable.

And there's no rush...the FX57 already owns the high end gaming space. Unless Intel suddenly pushes the Pentium M as a mainstream high end desktop gaming platform, I doubt AMD will devote much effort to bumping the clock on the FXs.

The 59's already in the works and should be out in a couple months......

from the two 57s 0531 that i no of did not like the cold much

[LexDiamonds]

I'm all for AMD releasing the FX-59. It adds insult to injury as far as Intel is concerned.

3ghz is a nice spot to stop too.

so you must be testing one, when are you gonna be able to post something about them??

if they are like fx-57 they should do easily 3.2ghz on air no vcore increase right?? any news on cold bug? a better mem controller would be kinda weird because the fx already have the best mem controller (the only prob. is the coldbug if it is because of the mem controller).

[sierra_bound]

Is it going to be called FX-59 or FX-60? Interesting little article can be found here.

[i found nemo]

i dunno, as the last single core cpu possibly i doubt it will maintain sandiego core, so many cores come out so often i just see it as a different core, and also i DEMAND fx-59 has 2MB of l2 cache and 2 levels of 128k l1 cache!!! that would pwn a dothan

[B5I8]

Where's the X2 FX versions??? I've been waiting to go dual core but I want one with unlocked multi's. I might just end up jumping on the Intel bandwagon .

ah, because so many intels are unlocked . I really don't think unlocked multipliers is that big of a deal, but i just came of a venice 3000+ where i was running HTT of 325 24/7. Dual core FXs... may come true some day

[madgamer]

unless you have some form of gnarly phase change, do you really need an unlocked X2? (I know this is XS, so while you dont really NEED an fx57 @ 4ghz but it would be nice etc). I would immagine they will come in time, but not untill the switch to dual core becomes pretty much a full transition/the only option for cpus.

[Vapor]

Do you need an unlocked CPU, PERIOD?

No, dividers don't hurt the performance at all. If your board has a problem getting over a certain HTT in async....get a new one.

[Hector Ruiz]

I don't believe you

[Vapor]

FX-59 will be San Diego, that means single core.

The roadmap with the FX-60 is iffy at best to me....the 3000+ is there for one.

[Vapor]

Shouldn't be hard....moves pretty slowly.

Lol, I wish I had one right now....samples aren't even shipping yet

@ Sierra: Yes, definately FX59. Nothing more, nothing less

@ Nemo: It's not gonna happen - at least with the 59 I just tested some E6 "Diego" Cores which will replace the current E4 San Diegos and those are definately different cores than the current cpu's. Now it's very unlikely the 59 will be one of these cores, but who knows? I guess, we'll all have to wait and see

@B518: The FX after the 59 will be moving to dual core - unless of course AMD decides to change their mind for one reason or another......
