News AMD Phenom to launch in November?

Sources at Taiwanese motherboard manufacturers suggest that AMD's long-awaited Phenom processors may launch as early as November. There will be four models initially, with another seven following in 1Q08. Details inside.

 

I'm supporting the little guy..

 

Excellent. Perhaps a competitive streak back in the market again.

...even so, I won't wait. If Intel's July price drops happen, I'll grab a C2Q then.

 

Hope they have a good price point, C2D isn't worth the price IMO.

My Opty 148 easily keeps up with an e6400.

 

I'm glad I didn't build a whole new system last month. I have a mod planned to start next month and wont build a system untill after the mod is finised, so an Oct-Nov system build should allow me to get into the Phenoms. Just hope they perform decently.

 

Agreed. Their Native Quad should be quite nice aswell.

 

ive always had a better experience with AMD over intel, even though their L2 caches dont show it they have a strong L1 which if you know a bit about computers is really what runs a PC. (in combination with the L2)

 

I really want to support AMD, but whichever CPU based technology is better at the time of Crysis is going to be the one I go with.....again I hope it's "the little guy"

 

I'm picking up an FX-72 after AMD has had time to cool off their prices in July. I'm genuinely happy with the performance AMD and ATI have provided me and will continue to use them both in the future.

That being said, does anyone have any word on whether there will be any other socket-1207 motherboards than Asus' L1N64? I only need the dual processor sockets and barrage of S-ATA connections, but four high-bandwidth PCIe interfaces? It makes the board way too overpriced. From what I hear, there's some sort of AMD-Asus exclusivity deal going on. Let's hope they don't screw this one up and monopolize pricing of the platform.

 

so their releasing 3x quad core, and a dual core (with reasonable power consumption) in Q4

then their releasing 2 more quads (but FX quads so nothing really affordable) and then 5 high power dualies

i count 5, wheres number 6 ?

 

I've come and gone for my setup. My Q6600 is running smoothly at OC'ed speeds of 3.14ghz (I bet I could go higher... )
