onx said:yeah thats what im worried about, is the prices on the 64s, i really doubt they'll get em cheap =/ and on newegg a 2ghz opteron is $830 and a 3.06ghz xeon is $479 and a p4 3.2 is $624 and thats a huge huge difference an added 206 above the p4. and the opteron is supposed to be the athlon 64 in the beginning, a server chip. doubt they are gonna lower prices much, oh well have to wait and see...
and whats this about a xeon being double the opteron's price? i dont get that
Lol, you're gonna need more than a P4 at 4.0ghz to compete with what these Clawhammers easily can pull off on air. There is no competing with them, at least not as far as we know. The gap will increase further with the release of the dual channel Athlon FX. This lead is still greater than what the P4C's have over the current Athlons.If you're looking for top notch gaming, the A64 will be an intel killer. You need a prommy to get an intel chip past 4ghz, and thats what you're going to need to compete with this.
I seriously doubt that. These kinds of statements we are listening for three years already, for all sorts of processors and yet Intel keeps its lion share of the market.If you're looking for top notch gaming, the A64 will be an intel killer.
Barton was a paper launch, XP T'bred (everyone of them) was a paper launch. Northwoods B and C appeared unannounced.Over the last two years exactly how many AMD paper launches have there been and how many Intel paper launches have there been? As for whether it is an Intel killer - maybe not but it is easily beating in gaming what Intel has to offer NOW.

Intel CPU is in the last two PCs I built for simple reason that I got tired of AMD hype while in reality it is all rather mediocre or unavailable. These two are faster PCs than any of my XPs, including the latest Barton I got.
