anyone know the price yet?

According to THG,



which i say is very attractive pricing and indeed a reasonable upgrade option for current AM2 users,

it seems that AMD has lost ground in the gaming area >.< getting pwned by intel real bad,
but amazingly this cpu does well in video encoding and rendering. It seems like the new memory and cache architecture works well with such applications.

big buck to upgrade...
cpu + mobo + ram .. then maybe gc ...

it costing like im upgrading from socket A to C2D last year,
& now my currently AM2 to phenom...

it will costing around 900+ for lowest series of phenom rite...

wah so expensive for not so pwrful proc... Better buy Athlon 64 X2 5200 lor..

more likely they are targeting manufacturers like DELL or COMPAQ, and not DIY PC enthuthiast

try ask at c-zone..they have it in their pricelist

erm...3600 FSB ... ??

yup 3600FSB..AllIT sell it at RM860

AMD Phenom 9500 Quad-Core Processor :

sri comp is selling 2.2ghz at 890 & 2.4ghz at 1100
anyway, i'm going to stick to my socket 939 for a while first

Price is higher since it is all new. But I am waiting for new revision of B3 before making the purchase. It seem the L3 Erratum issue affect whole batch include server's platform. No use buying so expensive proc and dun have performance doubling my Brisbane.

i will wait for another year or two,
kena once when migrated to newly launched P4 last time, spoilt on 13th month and can't find replacement coz they migrated to socket 478 from socket 423, so my mainboard, RDRAM and processor can no longer be used, wth?!

Phenom 9600 benchmarked after TLB patch. Ouchh.

As expected, there will be performance hit

The only Phenom worth buying is the newer revision which isn't out until next year Q1

Expected after TLB patch. But performance really drop a lot

-pWs-

i'm waitinggg... eager to push to the limit.. patient.. ready... ok.. gogo..
hopefully the price is right..

buy now better wait for both real phenom or penryn out jan next year, then can decide which one more worth buying =P anyway, juz 1 month away =P

AMD indeed has very poor quality control
I mean how can such a major bug escape the validation team??

This is not as serious as intel's FP bug in the 90's but at this time, AMD is just pushing itself closer to grave..
And their rock bottom share price of USD9 just shows how low the confidence the market has on AMD

you think AMD can afford to respin a new silicon wafer after putting so much development into ti?

^ well, i dont know. but to me losing money a little seems better than losing respect.

anyway thats 26% less performance than intel q6600.
