8) Not that I'll get one

a fx 62.. hmm
how much i wonder, that is, in US dollars

 

[mesarectifier]

Hmm, quite interesting, not that exciting. It's just higher clocked current tech...and higher clocked new tech is much more exciting.

Those are all "Sockel AM2" which translates into "Socket AM2". My 939 mobo will probably not ever be able to have a FX-62

Cool thanks for the heads up. I'm getting the sempron.

On a lot of the CPU the L2 Cache Size was very small. why make a AMD 64 with low L2.

 

[ak47is1337]

*sniff sniff* bs perhaps?
Dunno what the point of getting that if you even bought it would be, since AM2 940 boards aren't out yet.

1,622.49$ I use this site to convert money.

Boards are out:

[ak47is1337]

HAHAH somebody make an AM2 system!

 

[mesarectifier]

We laugh, but you know for a fact someone will.....

How comes Toms is a German site, yet these boards are commercially available in Germany and Toms hasn't had a review yet?

(I really did prefer it when it was just vanilla THG)

Toms did review AM2 before..

 

[kamel5547]

Bit of a price premium compared to the 939 they are selling, about 50-60 Euros

Works out to a $60-$73 premium... add in the probable extra cost for the MB + Memory and I guess your looking at $100 over a 939 solution

Sigh what to do, what to do....

Link? It's not in the 'past major CPU articles' section of the main page. We get auto redir to tomshardware.co.uk at the moment, not sure if that makes a difference or whether I missed it.

All this moves so fast, one day missed and you could miss something big.

Oh, I did see that article, but I was leaning more towards a review of the production boards and production CPUs, not the engineering samples in that review.

The sample X2 4800 that gets recognised as a mobile Sempron isn't nearly as interesting as a production FX-62.

Cheers for finding the link, though.

Anandtech did a review of a production model.

1,276.09 EUR Euro = 1,621.74 USD United States Dollars

That is one expensive cpu, wonder if this thing would be faster than the highest end of Conroe? (I'm guessing around $1000)

no, not really.

 

[mesarectifier]

Seeing as pre-release Conroe samples were going for $850 on eBay, I'd think twice about predicting $1000+ pricings.

 

[dvdpiddy]

HAHAH somebody make an AM2 system!

Ok i will i'll make both conroe and am2.

Yes, but those are engineering samples or black market trades that most likelier than not do not even POST. Intel has released a detailed list of Core 2 Duo pricing and is so far sticking to it.
