AMD plans to release three new FX CPUs in November.

We still don’t have a solid date but we think it might be even sooner than we expected as Intel will announce its quad stuff on the 1st of November.

I hope it forces FX-62 prices down !

Bugger ya. I just posted this on my site and was on the way to do it here

Yeah I'd say the FX62 should drop. I'd like on o dem

[chriso_86]

The article said these were going to be F socket not AM2. Therefore, the fx62 will still be the top dog for the am2 so I don't see prices dropping to much, but some.

i wonder if these are geared toward the "4x4" systems by amd, soon to show up (dual dual cores rig)? or will those be exclusive to the am2 platform? (socket F is the amd smp cpu, so i don't see the benefit of releasing a souped up game/desktop style cpu for this socket, unless it is designed to play with "others" on an smp mobo...)

What socket are the faster two? Socket AM2? And what is socket "F"?

socket F is for the new opterons, in multi cpu amd mobos. think workstations and server style

[mattyboy]

Ahhh, thanks M.
So are they all for socket "F" do you think?

[chriso_86]

Yeah I think so mattyboy.

[m.oreilly]

well, i find mention of windsor cores and am2, so i dunno. maybe they will be able to run dx9.L in xp too
(concider the source of this thread, the INQ...). i wonder what the "4x4" systems will be running, in terms of cpus/cores? these just might be them. but the one F cpu is an odd one at that.

Yeah, although the inquirer's stuff is sometimes not 100% facts, but the do a good job and getting info out and then following up later. I view it has a gosip site that has 80% of their stuff correct.

I also wonder if these are going to be for the upcoming 4x4 platform... I guess yes...
