AMD Quad FX Hits Retail

No UK prices on there. Will OcUK be getting this?

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

Ronaldo · 4 Jan 2007 at 16:35

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.

I can't believe AMD are actually releasing this. What a joke.

Defcon5 · 4 Jan 2007 at 17:13

I think numa is the only decent thing about it

Are there any benchies of this thing?

drak3 · 4 Jan 2007 at 18:33

dont bother with benchs. DISSASTER!

HI there

First of all this is NOT Quad Core!!

Secondly I doubt OcUK will be stocking it, as its crap and massively overpriced.

lol AMD scraping the bottom of the barrel i see.

hmmmmmmm looks very pricey. When is AMD's next chip revision out?

joeyjojo · 4 Jan 2007 at 19:15

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.

Unlikely I'd think as their motto is "Only the best performance hardware".

OOooohhh!!!

As above, why did they either bother? An enthusiast would surely go for the Quadro Extreme or x6800 over this POS!

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.
