AMD Quad FX is out!

Niice

That's very nice to hear! Finally, we got some good news from AMD. Judging by the results, it's a very good competitor. I am sure more is coming soon.

JAN :D
 
At last some viable competition from AMD. Lets see how it fairs up under further benchies, we all know the initial ones cant be trusted, just liek the first ones for the e6600 were complete rubbish.

Nice one AMD, lets hope they pull it off and spiral into a massive price war with Intel

I wouldn't consider it viable as the price for the mobo is $370 alone. Granted like you said it's early but for a true competition it needs be the same price or lower as the C2D's mobo's. Now the CPU's themselves are right around the X6800 and lower. IMHO :)

So, wait......... Is AMD actually having two separate, physical processors on one motherboard?

no it is one CPU with 4 core:D :D :D

:D sweet isnt it :D

are C2D going to have a price drop???

they suck high platform price, bad performance per watt, it has 4 cores and cant beat a E6700 at the same price, has high cooling requirements

get it together AMD

Ummm guys? I hate to be the party pooper, but why would you even care? The quad core is going to get spanked on the desktop because no games are going to be able to take advantage of it. As far as I know, it's not even a desktop CPU. It targets the corporate market. This "news", to the best of my knowledge, doesn't even apply to you.

I suppose you will be proven wrong in around 1-2 years.

Isn't that what people said when dual core came out? Now look where we are.
 
Well if that's all it is, then why not get excited about the supercomputer race?

1-2 years? Wow. That's very pertinent to us here, today. In 1-2 years they'll be putting quad core CPUs in ghettoblasters.

Given that most people don't upgrade their computers but every 3-4 years, it is pertinent. However, you might be like OMEGA, fade2green, and Kusama who never have the same sig for over 24 hours; then it wouldn't be pertinent.
