Hello!!!! Baron Matrix. Here's a question for you....the expert on x2 5000+(or so you like to think). Honour us with your witt and wisdom, oh jack-of-all-trades.
yea baron! i dont even know you buy I dare you to answer this question
They are in the hands of Dell and other system builders. DO a search for "Will a $500 5000+ be the chip to beat." on here.
I said more than a month ago that every system builder and their mother would want these for systems. They canmake more selling the system than just the chip.
I haven't gone through the purcahse process but MonarchComputer is offering them in their Furia systems.
1Tanker doubted me. I knew they would disappear. Just like the 3600+. It is around but only for systems - at least they are earmarked for it.

I think he (baron) answered this question fairly well

I just searched Dell, no info on X2 5000+, then I searched HP and tried to put a system together (AMD's closest OEM partner on DT and 2nd closest on server), a 5000+ is not even listed as an option, try it yourself, try to configure a d4500e series computer with a 5000+ --- not possible, why they don't list it as an option on the cusomization pages.
Hmmm --- voodoo must have it... yep listed there, buy one for 5000 bucks. I could not find the 5000+ option on alienware either... weird so many system builders actually do not have it
I think I mentioned MonarchComputer, not HP. Dell is set to ship AMD according to Forbes and others. One would think they woul dwant the biggest bang for the buck and a $325 5000+ with every level of mobo is pretty tempting.
Obvioualy Monarch wasn't one of the people who were offering CRAP for the chips. AMD said they turned down a lot of business.
You will see that they have the OEM 5000+ (why not make a few bucks for an HSF) for $382, much less than the "OWNING" $500 I quoted in my oh so eloquent post.
There are ODMs that I have never heard of who are now building AMD systems(Quanta, Mitac - ever heard of Google) so they will more than likely be ready for the Sept rush.
Lenovo has apparently picked up desktops, too. Companies that size DON'T buy at the last minute they make these things called orders for parts. Sometimes it's 1 year 2 million parts, sometimes it's 5 year 30 million parts.
Lenovo is selling in mainland China so there's so much more of a market that Google would cut American throats to get it. (over 1 billion now)
I am just glad that I don't need 5000+ 4x4 right now. Demand seems to be incredible. As i tell everyone, you can find the 4600+ and the FX62 in retail. Why the conspicuous absence?

He's blowing smoke as usual....
Of course, by the time Dell gets around to shipping DTs with AMD, and a 5000+ appears on the config. pages, he will scream "I was right, I was right..."
Because of my actual low key demeanor it would be moreso, I figured that according to the signs.

I prefer not to be associated My sincerest apologies Jack. How thoughtless of me?
Hey BM i think the 4600 EE is now a better deal thats its available. I'm getting one and for now gonna overclock it to 2.6ghz and keep the same voltage so it will still be EE. Maybe later take it up to 2.8 8)
There are probably a few factors at work here. Low bin yield combined with the great value of the x2 5000 would make sense. Not many people want to pay 800 dollars for the FX-62 that is only slightly better than the 5000. That and anything less than the 5000 is available on s939 (unless you want EE versions, of course). So this would make the 5000 a unique, highly sought after CPU.
I know my reason for wanting one is that I have an FX-55 and the 5000 would basically be like having two of those for far less than I paid for the FX-55.
I just hope AMD gets more out there soon, or more people might jump ship to Intel. :?
It's okay cause I'm reporting you for the expletive in your sig. From now on, if any of you make a colorful change in my name, derail a thread, whatever, I will moan like you do.

So you mean that they can get 2.4GHz and 2.8GHz but can't get 2.6GHz? Doesn't that sound odd? The 5000+ is the only AM2 not available in retail.

Yeah, it is a supply/demand --- price drops brought demand up to out strip supply agreed. I will address Baron shortly.
UhOH... here comes a 100 link, 20 000 word essay on why BM is wrong... duck
Usually right? I thought you were 'very rarely wrong'?
Somewhere on a sunny day, the dogs are barking, birds chirping, and children playing in the park. Baron is walking down the sidewalk and my warning is stay away because on a clear blue day a lightening bolt will emerge from nowhere and strike the ground upon which he walks.
Too late. It already happened. It wasn't a sunny day and I ducked at the last second.
