CNUco2007 Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 Looks like the dual core athlon64's are gonna be released tomorrow! although they wont be available till like june, but still... thats awsome.

oralpain Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 The comment that "Its pretty much two Athlon 64 stitched together and connected with Hypertransport, we understand." is making me a bit suspicious of this article. AMD has made it clear that the cores are NOT connected togeather using hyper-transport, but a cross-bar, with the HT bus and memory controler connected to that. Still, I would not be surprised if AMD will make the 939 dual cores avalible sooner rather than later, to prevent Intel from getting a really drastic lead (relative to current market share) in desktop dual core.

Dasterdly Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 AMD is going ater the server market, and Intel is going after the enthusiast market. I wonder which will sell better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oralpain Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 (edited) where did u see Hypertransport written in there!??! 466604[/snapback] Not where, when. They corrected it. i want one. anyone know if they'll work with nforce3? Chipset should be irrelivant, but the motherboard will need a BIOS update to support it.

GAMECOCK97 Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 I have checked Newegg & tigerdirect and don't see anything in the way of pricing information. Any suggestions on where I can get some information. I am debating on building my next system on a dual server plaform and need to know how many of my limbs I will need to sell to get the money.

tbone2sk Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Ok you will not see them for a little while. When they release something, they do not ship it, they send it out to a few lucky people. The venice, and sandiego chips where released a while ago, and we have still not seen them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAMECOCK97 Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Thanks for the info. Newegg has the Operteron 252 chip for about $869. Should I expect the price to double or triple for the new A64 Dual Core? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
