AMD Announces 4x4 Enthusiast Platform

they didnt mention gamers anywhere. depending on the price (and it wont be that expensive) it could be indeal for encoders and folders alike. though i see no reason for AMD to limit the platform to Fx's only, that would be a mistake. just think 2 cheap dual core 65nm 3800+'s on one board. That's a lot of cpu power for very little outlay.
I know what it's good for, I wouldn't mind one myself. It's just that several news articles have been describing it as a gamer platform when clearly it isn't. It makes me wonder if it's AMD who's fed them this line or if its just bad reporting and nothing more.
 
No, its because amd showed it with fx processors in their slides and have suggested that it may be limited to fx processors, which made many news and review sites conclude that its aimed at gaming.
