    it would be nice news to hold on to if you knew your 2 biggest competitors were about to do a big deal.

    i mean 4ghz stock is bigger news than sli on intle boards :mrgreen:

    Saw this a couple of days ago on Toms,

    If it had been broken by a known site, I may have believed it, Although from the consumers point of view I hope that it is ture

    be nice if it was true, but the site looks a bit unscrupulous

    I hope this is true, Time for AMD to rule again, and then in 5 years intel, then another five years AMD will be almost broke again

    It'd be great if they did give intel some proper competition. I just hope they price it wisely. The first lot of FX's were SO expensive - they all have been actually! But if they price this right, it could be great

    "There's said to be two chips in the pipeline, the FX-80 at 4Ghz and the FX-82 at 4.4GHz.
    The FX-80 at stock out performs a 5.0GHz Kentsfield"

    Last sentance isn't bad, imagine overclocking the FX-82 then?

    And in theory, wouldn't that make the whole CPU equivalent to a 20ghz kentsfield? (In an ideal world)

    so it will beat the Kentsfield... So does Yorkfield!

    why are they aiming to beat intel's 65nm quad?
