ohhhh-.-

ASUS will release new Crosshair Formula V for the AM3+ and will into the market from this summer to later autumn

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Asus...ldozer-Motherboard-Gets-Detailed-198697.shtml

but it will be very costly as ROG models are not cheap to buy... find out when it come out and see the cost for CPU and motherboard

That was obvious lol.
I can see people going for the CHIV tbh.

 

[Alextheepic228]

Can't wait, But intel are going for 22nm, are bulldozers 32nm?

 

[Slashiem]

Any more news on the release date?

Looking forward to getting a new computer that is AMD but need the new PC soon so might end up going with an i5 otherwise

well if it will be same price point as Ch IV was then its not bad , but if they going to charge for them same price as intel Asus RoG mobs it will be insanely expensive

Doubtful it'll be as well priced as the CHIV Formula was as theres the Sabertooth model before it - so it will be the usual high end £200 jobbie probably

Nothing warrants a move to it from my CHIV tbh as long as the CHIV doesn't prohibit the performance of BD

I noticed AM3 boards for sale on the OCuk site, are those for BD?

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=701&catid=1903&subid=1782

My mistake. I forgot that BD boards are the AM3+! (Face Palm moment)

 

[DragonQ]

Bulldozer officially requires AM3+. Some AM3 boards will support Bulldozer though, you have to look at the manufacturer's website for each board to see which ones do and which ones don't.

 

[davieg]

We still dont know how far the term support goes though yet, It could be utter rubbish in an AM3 board or there may be no problems at all.
If I was you I'd wait to see the benefits of AM3+ over AM3 if I was buying a new board specifically for BD.

It's a FAAAKE!! no... ITS REAAAL!!!!!

Check the video on YouTube.

My favourite part was when he said "It's a fake".

The holo recording may have been fake but the bomb on his shuttle wasn't!

What do you guys reckon about the Sabertooth board? Personally I'd like something that'd fill the M4A89TD's slot as I think a Crosshair would be a gigantic waste of pennies for me. Sabertooth should be a bit on the cheaper side of premium, I hope.

How can you compare a 3.8 with a 4.7 ???
Thats evan if its real

The Bulldozer at a lower clock is spanking the 2600k.
But it's 8 cores versus 4 cores + HT..

Depends how vantage scales with more cores really.

 

[Azuse05]

Cores of modules? Iirc amd said each 2 core module would be equivalent to 1 ht intel core.

oops! Didn't read it correctly

Genuine cpu-z, from article written by cpu-z author Franck Delattre

http://translate.google.fr/translat...833-1/dossier-architecture-amd-bulldozer.html


"However, AMD's architecture has great assets in his pocket, and is able to make a nice career. The flexibility of the modules versions promises to more than 8 cores in the near future, and if the frequencies are at the rendezvous, the performance will be present, especially in multi-threaded processing.

Still, it will still be patient. If the first sample Zambezi begin to be distributed, the launch should not occur before July. It will take a little longer to judge the effectiveness of the new architecture into practice and see if AMD has won his bet, an appointment can not miss it!"
