I thought AMD was going to release a few today.. (12/16..)

AMD's motherboard partner of the month is Gigabyte - GB doesn't have a 790FX motherboard that has the new southbridge.. at least, not that I know of.

Macci! Awesome stuff.. I was hoping to go but wasn't able to this time around. How many were at this one? Glad you won. :)

AMD sent it to me for my brithday/Christmas present last year.. well my brother - he was in on it too. :rolleyes: :p http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1031978000&postcount=10 Pictures of the actual processor are in that thread as well. Start a new thread and tell us what you are working on...

Is that what you've been working on?

Considering the email was sent to me earlier this week, I'm assuming that this is correct. I don't want to be a jerk or anything, but I won't post something original unless I know for a fact that it is or will be true. I have my credibility to worry about. As of 11/13, Anand, TG, PCMag...

Thanks.. :) Here is the source: ---- Senior Brand Marketing Manager Desktop Product Marketing Advanced Micro Devices As for AMDZone - http://www.dailytech.com/AMD+Phenom+Box+Art+Revealed/article9640.htm Looks legit to me; I know that story is about a year old and not on...

Yes. :p

It looks like AMD is trying to distance themselves from Agena/Phenom. Deneb will be known as Phenom 2. Watch out. :eek:

It might be possible that the NB clock is only 1.8 GHz or so and will likely be increased on production models - the power usage might go up because of this, but the performance should as well. Who knows; I'm probably wrong. :p

Ruiz will still be the Chairman.

My brother and I bought my dad a Puma based HP laptop last week - it is actually pretty decent. 4GB of RAM, ZM-80 2.1 GHz Turion, etc.. I'm tempted to go get one for myself.

Just a heads up - AMD's Desktop Brand Marketing Manager has told me a few times not to extrapolate AMD"s numbering/naming scheme for future products. ;) I've asked him this very question a few times - once late last year and again in late Q1/early Q2.

I saw a an in depth presentation on Puma and its derivatives one day after Ruiz did back in June. They told me they were going to compete on price.. still, they do have a pretty significant number of design wins with it.

Same thing happened with mine - they said that something was missing - it wasn't though. Thankfully, they are letting me redo it.. Still kind of sucks though. :(

Then in that case, the 81° F sounds more correct, assuming you are using conventional cooling.

Are you sure those aren't Celsius temperatures?

I heard a rumor of a possibility of this from a decent source late last year.. bummer if true. :(

I was just at Best Buy and saw two halfway decent Gateway systems.. Both had Phenoms - one had a 2400 XT and the other had an 8800 GT. They looked nice too.

Please; thanks.

Consoles are very similar to desktops. They have a processor, motherboard, ram, etc.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predatory_pricing

1. They are selling everything that they can make. Why would they lower prices when they are guaranteed a sale at a more expensive price? 2. It is illegal. This could be considered predatory pricing - where a seller will sell a product for less than it costs them to make. This will make the...

Are you sure that FASN8 was canned? I heard that too, but then again, I've heard just the opposite from certain individuals at AMD.

We actually used 2.6 GHz B2 based Phenoms at the Lake Tahoe launch event. This processor is actually a 2.4 GHz ES, but the motherboard automatically went to a 13x multiplier. The markings below indicate the correct speed.

I've tried this several times, 1.43 wouldn't work for some reason, but I downloaded it again yesterday and it seemed to work.. Before. After. :cool:

I heard they did worse than they expected, will find out tomorrow. :( Time to buy stock early next week I suppose..

Make sure to take off the heatsink while it is still warm - if it is cold, heat it up with a hair dryer or something. When you take it off - wiggle the heatsink back and forth for a few seconds, then pull up.

I imagine that Thursday/Friday will be a nightmare.. :(

No - FX is still on the way - when, I'm not sure, but it will be coming out.

I have a Phenom and love it. Most people here will tell you to go with Intel though. :rolleyes: FWIW - canned benchmarks: http://www.lostcircuits.com/cpu/amd_phenom/17.shtml

Is multiplier set to auto? Set it to 11. If this doesn't work, try resetting the BIOS.

I am definitely going there sometime in the future. :cool: Even Hector is getting a cubicle! The apostrophes on that page disappeared. :p

I absolutely love Overdrive.. It's open now. :D

I heard from a halfway reliable source last week that there might be a delay. This was before the rumors starting popping up at places like DigiTimes.. Unfortunately, everyone I know from AMD is off until the 7th - or later.. :(

I have not.

Someone I know told me about the possibility earlier last week.. now it looks like Digitimes has picked up on it.. I hope it isn't true.. http://www.digitimes.com/mobos/a20071224PD200.html

Idk what the fuss is about.. word on the internets is that AMD might be pushing back the launch of the B3 Phenoms to Q2.. :(

It's blown way out of proportion. Very few end users would run into it. You almost have to be looking for it to find it. For me (and I do have a Phenom..), the problem is virtually non existent.

Good old fashioned AMD tech support. <3. Why can't Intel help out at one in the morning? :p

I was planning on doing a writeup based around the processor and my experiences with it. I've tried a few other programs - one being CBId - that one claims that it is an Orleans based Athlon manufactured at 90nm with 0 L3 cache.
