DFI roadmap through Q4 2007
-
Make sure to add 4 months to each one, as dictated by DFI protocol.
-
So Intel will still be using crossfire after all in its upcoming chipsets.
-
Yep, Crossfire and physics (APP) support. :)
I'd personally say it's more like a month or two, knowing DFI. It seems like when they plan a launch date is usually when the samples start to appear, with availability trickling a month or so later. I do feel your pain though on DFI's launches which leave a lot to be desired...I want my DFI P35 ASAP so I can finally upgrade my rig. :D That being said, whenever the P35 boards launch, the DX10 battle between between AMD and Nvidia should finally be sorted out with prices evening out on the R(v)6xx series...So I suppose that isn't a terrible thing.
I wonder what the price difference between the INF and LP will be...The Inf P965 looks pretty sexay, hopefully the p35 will follow suit. I wouldn't mind giving up the LP color scheme and extras in my next build if it's on par bios/performance-wise with what they did with the P965.

where'd you see yellow? I must be overlooking it. If'n it's true, I'll take it.

RX780 for AM2+ - Yellow PCB.
P35-T2 (low-end) - Yellow PCB
Granted, the RX780 looks pretty neutered next to the 790, and the Infinity and Lan Party P35's look much more appealing.
Safe guess to say AM2+ is launching in September? Makes sense to me DFI would try to launch the 790 alongside AMD's new cpus.
-
That Lanparty X38 with DDR2 looks real good. That is if they can get it to market within a reasonable timeframe after the chipset launch. It's good to know that we'll be able to use our expensive DDR2 for a long while before DDR3 becomes mainstream. I'd always thought the X38 was DDR3 only. Good stuff Turtle thanks for posting :)
-
no quad FX board.....:mad:
-
grrr, they need to get the bios working for their current AM2 board before even thinking about launching new ones :fact:

The nf590? Worked great for me (albeit a rather low max FSB, apparently common among that chipset among any manufacturer), though I have seen other people with issues so that may have been a fluke. In any case DFI has always been a bit behind everyone else on release dates....they almost have to given the size difference when compared to larger companies. The Infinity series has been strong of late, and even though the RD600 was a bit late the LP line has continued to be excellent (though perhaps not the best of prices...) so I hope they continue and put some though into the design of their new boards.
7 new Lanparty series boards this year though? Seems rather high, even considering a couple variations on each. I'd think 7 boards TOTAL from DFI would seem about on par honestly.

oh, don't get me wrong, i love the board. the bios just has some... quirks that drive me insane....
have you ever been able to change DQS Skew with even a moderate overclock? or even at stock? no boot here... except for some very rare cases
have you tried <8x cpu multi? for some reason, my sempron defaults back to 9x when i use anything below 8x
the latest beta bios, my 4000+ ONLY runs at 10x, no matter what i set it to
why is stock multi + 0.5x visible?
2.10v option is labeled 2.00v
and other such oddities. easy work arounds for most of the stuff i come across, it's just one of those things where you can tell that very little time was put into making sure the bios is actually solid

looks a bit weird mcp72 can be high end.
Can you send this presentation to my email? it would be nice to see it completely
-
My predicament is bordering on hillarious now... I've been waiting for a few months for the LP 680i board and the Q6600 price drop and now based on this information, I'm considering just holding out for Yorkfield, X38 and DDR3.
Hanging out on a bleeding edge forum actually retards your computer upgrade schedule! :hitself:
-
Hehe, I feel your pain virtualrain, I'm in the same situation myself!
That roadmap is "optimistic" to say the least. DFI releasing two LP boards on each of the two new Intel chipsets within 4 months of each other?! No chance.
-
Interesting boards. The 650i could be a nice performer for the money. Too bad they are behind schedule. I would want that board now :(

Why is it weird? MCP72, from my understanding is this, although not mentioned in the slides:
SLI, Ultra, and IGP variants (Probably 2x16 + 1x8, 2x8, and 1x16 models)
AM2+ (Agena etc)
HT3
PCI-E 2.0
6 SATA
dual ethernet
It has all makings of the next iteration of Nvidia's high through low-end chipset.

I wonder what the differences between the T2R and T3Rs are....same chipset, only a few months difference, why would they need two versions?

T2R is ddr2 and T3R is ddr3

T2R supports DDR2 and T3R supports DDR3, thats the difference between them.

Dang both P35 boards have "Special heatpipe structure".
And I thought at least DFI had clear mind... it seems they are smoking whatever ASUS smokes.
-
Guys, it's not a mistake!
the timeline shows APR MAY JAN JULY
As we all know of DFI's tardiness, maybe that isn't a typo and the release date is JAN 2008!!! :)
make sense to me. that way there will be a nice 8 month gap between two LP boards. :)
ok ok, it might be a typo... but who knows.

I only see it on the LP, not the Infinity or Yellow Fever Plain Jane P35. I think the INF will most likely keep the single big sink on the NB, but that's just conjecture on my part.
Yeah..Another reason the INF looks to top my list...I could live without the massive interconnected heat pipe thinger-ma-doodle that is surely what they're talking about. Who knows though, maybe DFI will pull it off better. Guess we'll see when someone snaps some pictures in Taipei in a couple months, or maybe they'll shock us all and launch it around then. :eek:
:rolleyes:

Lol. Very, very true. On a side note, ever gotten an e-mail from the TW DFI guys? It obvious to see why their power points have grammatical and spelling errors. They are very forthcoming with information though (if you can get through the engrish) which is nice. :)

Could you post the slides of: Infinity P35 T3, LanParty MCP72 and Infinity MCP72 ?
-
Man screw the 965p board then if the P35 boards are that close.
