Looks like I'll be waiting a bit longer for the upgrade then also they'll be backwards compatiable with existing AM2 processor & will be 45mn as well. So all you'll need to do is change to a new motherboard and probably buy another copy of XP or VISTA whichever your using. It with also support Hypertransport 3, scoring with 4.0 to 4.4 GT/s depending on north bridge speeds.

hmm, but not ddr3 till '09, disappointing if true

Thats pretty much a yr away, I'd go ahead and gets something good now..at least a hand me down Socket 939 setup.

Molester · 10-19-06, 11:37 AM

not me, i'm waiting on an NF7-S and a DFI LP NF2 ULTRA-B to show up...

Don't think I'll wait for dual-quad-core/ddr3 to build, prolly just build one in december. Mostly, depends on the mobo manufacturers, and what they offer.

i wouldn't hold your breath on the 45nm....

AngelfireUk83 · 10-19-06, 04:31 PM

Wasn't AMD having problems with 45mn or was that another company ATi or something it was some company having problems with the shrink.

hUMANbEATbOX · 10-19-06, 04:32 PM

AMD was (is?) having problems with 65nm.

Molester · 10-19-06, 05:45 PM

there was 1 story about AMD having problems with 65nm, and it had to due with holding stock speeds at certain expected voltages..it was also a very early engineering sample, and nothing has been seen since...

hUMANbEATbOX · 10-19-06, 05:54 PM

except that their flagship cpu's will remain 90nm for quite a while still.

as they have always done, the first of the new process are always their lower models, but yeah, kinda sux

amd has to do this to immediately start making cash, not wasting chips who's yields are lower

it's also usually the first batches that everyone tries to get, and oc the best, because quite literally you are getting a binned cpu

Lately yes. But not always true

Molester · 10-19-06, 06:30 PM

i did say, usually, which shouldn't be mistaken for, always

I dont understand that.. DDR2 and VDDR2 werent that seperated IIRC

V or G DDR3 has been out forever,, whay is it aking so long? Just money? 1009 sems a long way off. specially since AMD original rumours was am2 was waiting for it...

Maybe the recent "loss of ICs" has something to do with it? Memory manufactureres playing another game like a few years ago???

GDDR 2, 3, and 4 are different techs than DDR2 and 3. GDDR is more closely related to DDR 1 with a different set of architectural changes than DDR2 went through. Some newer video cards have shipped with DDR2 memory as well. That's not to be confused with GDDR2 which was used on the 5800 and was later dumped for DDR1 in the 5900.

IWasHungry · 10-24-06, 04:30 AM

Bummer. I'm really looking forward to jumping DDR1 --> DDR3, but it's taking forever.

Hipcrostino · 10-24-06, 04:40 AM

ditto to that
