I like the movement of the memory slots, leaving lotsa room for the PCI slots. Looks good so far

nice find ---- I personally cannot wait until the questions flood the forums about tri - channel ram. How much faster is DDR3 in tri channel vs ddr2 dual channel. Can I run 2 sticks of ddr3 in that board? wow ---

lol and "what do you mean theres no fsb?"

We'll see...

This cpu will get a massive ammount of bandwidth. Let's hope it's ALU and FPU will make good use of it.

It sure looks promising!!!!!

amd is so in trouble!

soon amd will be making dog implant chips to fill gaps in fab and chip production.

i think intel need to throw amd a bone and let them make dual cores of something - i know thats so rude. but amd is so in trouble

stock is still a good deal a 7!

fsb bus move data from memory to the controller to the cpu

the controller is in the cpu so data skips the nb and goes from memory to cpu

interconects inside the silicon or (i am not cpu design expert) lanes from controller to cpu are all build in

no fsb

25-30k is already shown months ago

i expect to see 30k+

The CPU and memory bandwidth sound nice, but overall is it really that amazing? It will supposedly either have 8 cores, or 4 cores with 8 threads. Almost nothing even uses 4 cores now, nor is it likely to anytime soon.

The hardware always "hopefully" precedes the software. Im aware of the abuse of non multithreaded software vs multi cpus going on now, but for forward looking approach, as these arent even out yet, it still looks promising. By abuse I mean, we have less and less choices with dual cores, while multi (quad and greater) cores are being pushed at us
