AMD Quad FX Hits Retail

Its two fx cpu's in one box and requires a mobo costing hundreds!

Apparently you only get one CPU per box as well, you'll be talking over £1000 just for the cheapest FX chips + mobo and a lot more for the top of the range.

HI there

First of all this is NOT Quad Core!!

Secondly I doubt OcUK will be stocking it, as its crap and massively overpriced.
 
Another bad move sadly. Very poor business strategy from what we've seen. Hopefully they've got something good planned, this looks pretty desperate tbh.

Pretty much sums it up id say ;) hopefully AMD only released very limited quantities of this and hopefully the true Quad-Cores arrive in the Summer and put AMD back on the map.
 
If ppl would want 2 cpu's, everybody would just buy 2 intel quad core xeons and put em on 1 board, and have 8 true cores...

I highly doubt anyone is willing to pay for 2 fx cpu's to get quad core...

Isn't the idea of super-expensive hardware that consumers will only purchase if it is the absolute best? Isn't AMD still playing catch-up, hence far from the best? Meaning that high-end prices are a bad idea?

You weren't thinking of buying one, were you?


Well actually i was planning on using it in an uber gaming rig that would destroy anything you Intel fanboys had. ;)
