Gawd.. that was abit harsh.

July 27th your computer will become obsolete!

My AMD 1Ghz Thunderbird, PIII 800, and P4 2.66 has been obsolete for quite some time. :lol:

Very vague. Looks like they are going to summarize the official Core 2 Duo launch in Silicon Valley to hype it up and get people to buy from them. Doesn't say anything about being able to purchase them, just that you will know why you would want to purchase one.

You're possibly right, but would be hot if we can get them tomorrow.

Wow, that level of homo-ness might just get them in the dog-house with everyone ever planning to build a conroe system. I certainly hope they're not trying to shoot themselves in the foot that badly.

Thank god. Now people can get these and STFU about it. Were AMD buyers like this before FX51 or FX60?


We'll also see if the price stays flat with the demand.

Nope, but they weren't as revolutionary nor eagerly anticipated and only fulfilled a tiny part of the enthusiasts market. Core 2 Duo of course covers the entire market place.

That's true but they repesented the X2 flagship which admittedly was as much as a GHz faster than PD. The 2.2 X2 was doing some damage to 3.2 PD.

This time it's only a few hundred MHz in real world usage. With the linear scaling X2 showed in Anands tests, a 3.2-3.4 FX would do battle with or even MAYBE eclipse Core 2 Extreme.


I am excited though about Core 2 especially if I can my IT dept to get some and GET RID OF THE CURRENT HyperThreaded OptiCrap I have to use as a base machine.

I will be monitoring Dell ALL DAY since I took the day off, but then they said not until the actual release which is supposed to happen at 3AM from the last I heard.

Oh well.

I'll be the judge (certainly not TigerDirect of all places) as to whether or not my system is obsolete.

Funny thought... but your attitude and intelligence level exhibited herein makes you a perfect mate for a Dell.
