sirloganthestud Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 So what's up with all this news about 6 and 8 core processors? Intel claims to be coming out 6 and 8 cores for its i7 series, and AMD claims to be coming out with these for its AM3 socket. So what's the news?

Hedghawg71 Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 They are gonna be everywhere like Santa Clause! "Buy One Get Two Free!" J/k, really though, they are talking the i9's (LGA 1366) will be out sooner than the AMD AM3 6 core processors. Here's where they have been talking about the i9's here. I can't find it right now but they had been talking about AMD 6 cores too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, I haven't talked to him for awhile, he wasn't really a friend, more like a guy I met in a bar while I was pretty sloshed and woke up with a Q-LOGIC business card in my pocket lol. I remembered what happened later. I just remember BSing about computers and six cores and that's it LMAO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirloganthestud Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Should have probably done a little more research before, because I just found articles about them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yourbitterend Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Should have probably done a little more research before, because I just found articles about them. Lowest priced one I hear is marked at $380 and there is 7 to chose from. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy94 Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 The i9's will be a good chip to look out for. I'm waiting and upgrading when they are out. 12 hyperthreaded cores sounds like my style. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
