Top end six core ~990x pricing. Other six core ~980 pricing. Quad core ~2600k pricing but its got a partially locked multiplier so kinda pointless. Id expect motherboard prices to be more than z68 as well. Basically similar to x58/1366 pricing.

Just because I don't have "links" and readily available pages of theory doesn't mean I don't know what's going on.
You know that's not how the internet works bro.
The home of hyperbole and sources.

/Strokes i7 920 - Looks like me and you will be together for a while yet old girl
Seems a lot of dough but probably well worth it. Ivy coming next year but don't think I can wait that long.
Nice one dude.

Think this thread can be locked
Yep, I just did the same. I had earlier pre-ordered the 8120, but decided on balance 6 "real" cores on the X6 was better so made the substitution. Now to select a motherboard...
for me the shocker is the power draw, it will be good to see if the 8120 95W can negate that a bit and still reach the 5Ghz under water barrier.
I am a software developer and working on software of my own that is artificial intelligence based. It's written in Visual Studio 2010, and executes in parallel over many hundreds of threads if required.
If used commercially I would need many servers/PC's sharing load, and working 24/7 processing floating point numbers in parallel.
The budget 8 core FX looks good for my situation, and would certainly work out cheaper then Intels current 6 core CPU's. The only worrying thing is reading on TomsHardware VisualStudio 2010 needs an update so compiler is optimised for BD. Hopefully Microsoft will resolve this.

yep I am genuinely stunned! I expected it to be nearly as good as a 2500k in games or at the very least 20% better all round than their current cpus
Canceled!Bought!
Reasons:
1. Paper launch.
2. Power draw when oc'd:
My 6950>70 xfire and the oc'd 8150 would struggle with my 750w psu.
Anyway, lost £55 selling my sabertooth to my brother.
Lesson learned for next time, don't gamble on new tech that's on the horizon, I could have been using i5 for about 6 weeks now.
Parting thought before leaving the thread as it's went really down hill with all the ha ha's....
Some folks really need to grow up a bit, here's a link for you if you don't want too:

As long as the unified FPUs in bulldozer don't bottleneck the modules in your simulation.

just stuck my Asus Crosshair V Formula AMD 990FX on ebay ,very disappointed with the run up to the BD and turns out to be a fail ,
All this wait and it turn out to be terrible. Glad I never paid any attention to it, still relying on my trusty 2.5 year old 920
hope the generator running it is ok
