Ah thank you! Been really wondering on that, kinda been saving up and waiting for the big day. Ugly grandpa colors though, and was kinda hoping for at least triple x16 mode. Is it just me or are amd boards looking more and more like intel? I guess i'll keep waiting for an Asus/MSI/Gigabyte to hit stores before considering upgrading(mine is broken). Any predictions?

Hmm, so it's actually similar to the Athlon 64? Weird.... It works, though!

I guess it's confirmed now: AMD will start using FX again. I always liked the FX name.

I would say more and more of them should be showing up in the next few days/weeks. My guess is Newegg/Tiger and the rest are holding out to sell stock down with the 800 series so they wont get stuck with them.

God, this makes me more impatient for my new build. Well, at least I can take that time and find a job...

So did they announce when the actually release date is?
Haven't heard a definite date. Anywhere from the last of July to sometime in August.

I wonder why we haven't seen any ES chips yet. But from this slide, it is certain that AMD will unveil and release (might be a paper launch) Zambezi/BD at E3. There were rumours going around that BD would be delayed until Q3, but apparently they are not true:

so, could my mobo support bulldozer if it had a bios update?
edit nvm
As far as I know, Asrock isnt updating any bios on their AM3 boards. Only releasing AM3+ socket boards.

Yeah, everything faster than a basic Core 2 Duo is pretty much useless unless you're a gamer. Crappiness ftw!

I was just reading that the FX-8110 Processor is going to have 3.0 gigahertz clock speed and 4.0 gigahertz turbo clock speed. If the FX-8100 Processor can get a turbo speed that high, I wonder what the FX-4110 turbo clock speed will get to?
