Anyone pre-order their Venice/Diego yet?

[xgman]

Ive just seen the fx55 90nm listed since dec on resellers lists is all. To me unless its instock ATM its a flalse hope.

I really don't want to prolong this discussion any longer, but what you are saying above could describe almost any new or revised piece of hardware that has ever been released. This is par for the course as far as new releases and revisions go. It's frustrating, but that is just the way it is.

[wickedld9]

Other than multi lock, is there any difference between the 4000 and the 55 parts? Do you think the 55 is binned for more headroom even though they run at the same frequency? And by the way, I think when the fx55 90 does ship, it will be a pretty good look at the fx57 to come on the same process.

The 55 runs at 2.6 and the 4000+ at 2.4

He probably meant the 4200+?

E4 Stepping: 90nm, SSE3 Support To 2.6GHz

CPUs with new E4 stepping will be available with processor speeds up to 2.6GHz in the Opteron 152, 252 and 852. The processors are slated for application in IBM, Sun and Egenera servers.


The die that is the most potent CPU for the desktop market is still the Athlon 64 FX-55, which also works with 2.6GHz. It's no secret that the HyperTransport links of these processors can achieve higher data transfer speeds of around 8 GB/s when working according to the HT1000 standard. AMD rates the thermal design power of its new dual-core processor with just under 200 million transistors at a little less than 93 watts - a far cry from Intel's TDP 115 or TDP 130.


No news of fx55 90nm here either and this is from AMD factor tour just a few days ago

That makes no mention of my e4 250's

[QUOTE=sandybeach]xman, I have no prob's. I've used like 25 fx-55's ...sound familiar ..like in the past.

[Major]

So what is Sparco saying now about ETA's ??

[mad mikee]

running off the rumor mill like the rest of us.

What about that guy that was supposed to get a 3700+ from monarch today?

[wickedld9]

Monarch is playing the "dating game" this morning.....the 4000+ has fallen back a week to the 29th now.

[sandybeach]

Like I said Monarch threw up ETA's to make you all stop with the emails, hehe.

They have No set date as of yet for the chips

2-4 more weeks IMO

[xgman]

Yup, I'm guessing mid may. AMD may be stalling to clear out some old stock.

[wickedld9]

Kind of off topic but Anand is reporting that "the FX-55 and 57 will co-exist, with the FX-57 being introduced at around $900, due out in June."

I sent an email to Monarch to verify the delay. I think I will cancel since I HAVE to have a CPU by the 29th....and with the 57 coming out the 55 will drop in price soon.

Also of note from Anand is that the 4000+ will be the last A64, all other speed bumps will come only from FX.

I chose a 4000+ san diego from akiba
saturday I believe

I thought there was going to be a 4200?

[wickedld9]

Sorry, let me change that. The 4000+ will be the last single core. 4200+ will be dual core according to Anand.

[madpete]

Just pre-ordered the 4000+ San Diego from Tekheads (UK), been told it will ship within the next 1-2 weeks.

Hoping it clocks better than my winnie, can't do much worse

[charlie]

Yup, lol... just taking AND CHARGING everyones credit cards for pre-order... and sitting on the money earning interest $$$$$...

Grr......

Dont' know why Monarch do that either, I've been charged $345 immediately for a product that I might received on May 6th

[xgman]

Sparco no charge till ship at least.

[nordik]

The wait is killing me

[wickedld9]

I just got off the phone with "Jeff" at Monarch and they are delayed 1 week. He pretty much assured me that the 29th was a good date.......I guess wait and see.

Anyone up for a 3800+ venice, have a gander here in the UK, they even ship to the states, plus you guys get VAT lopped off too. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal..._939_cpus.html , I can vouch these guys are legit and are a very good shop, infact the most well known here in the UK.

[OC Detective]

I know this forum is likely US dominated - but anyway high end venice and both san diegos confirmed on sale in Akiba (shop called Bless). So maybe its the US resellers or distributors not AMD holding them back to clear stocks?

Actually their 3700+'s are already sold out!

yup, tomorrow and sunday

I have a contact

[OC Detective]

Are you buying it from Bless or are other stores there carrying them too? 63000 yen for the 4000+ so roughly USD595 correct? Venice 3800 comes in at USD410ish.

[cpulloverclock]

exactly
