Rumoured: AMD Bulldozer related stuff...

[terrybear]

I HIGHLY doubt AMD's gonna try to sell there FX branded cpu's at anything beyond the $500+ mark, especialy if they do just barely catchup to the 1366 Core i7's. But then again, won't know what can occure till launch.

If it does prove to be 50% faster (give or take), then the MOST I would pay for it is 1.5x the *average* going price of an 1100T. Same goes for quad core Bulldozers too. As for the 8-core Bulldozer, it better be like two 975's or something and then some, since there;s no Phenom II equivalent.

so is the price chart for a mother board and cpu or just a cpu cause its titled system pricing

[_dangtx_]

idle wattage should prove interesting with all minus one cores shut down.

also i hear that cmeth will have some juicy numbers for his cinebench thread ;)

So basicly this is still going to be the same tech with a twist?

Basically, you don't play by Intel's rules and you don't have to buy everything again when you upgrade your CPU.

[_dangtx_]

basically wait for a proper am3+ mobo to drop your cpu in? :)

im sure they couldve kept compatibility up, at east in the beginning. how many people with duallies
might fetch a quad dozer when it drops on the shelves, but will it fit? :)

BIOS upgrade is great, but I just hope the new AM3+ boards they make come with the spiffy UEFI that the Sandy Bridges have.

Call me crazy, but that's honestly a huge selling point for me. I'm tired of looking at the boring old BIOS.
