Some might even be this excited:

I'll be surprised if it does go on pre-order with no specs or price. That's a lot of confidence AMD has.

Excited now

Hopefully we'll see some specs tomorrow then, I really can't see this going up for preorder with no mention of specs.. Has it been done before?

I'm not sure I'm willing to pre order without the price

Or confirmed specs and performance level.

Still tempting though to get hold of one first.

Matson · 2 Oct 2013 at 21:59

We wont see specs i think? since the NDA doesnt lift till the 15th.

uksoldierboy · 2 Oct 2013 at 22:00

I for one wouldnt dare buy without knowing specs

Roll on 9 a.m....

8,000 worldwide. How many will OcUK have?

Maybe AMD will look at where the pre-orders are coming from and distribute accordingly.

uksoldierboy · 2 Oct 2013 at 22:10

8...4 for kaaps and 4 for 8pack

teppic · 2 Oct 2013 at 22:13

I guess a lot of people will be on here tomorrow at 9am

It's quite possible that one of the NDAs expires tomorrow, there are more than one.

I don't think they could control the numbers worldwide in real time. I would imagine each partner has an allocated quantity.

I guess those that pre order take delivery on the 15th when the NDA lifts?

Matson · 2 Oct 2013 at 22:26

Like many i don't think i could pre order without at least an official price....Specs would be nice too lol.
Do you get think you would get a discount if you ordered 2? >_>

=XDC=FluphyBunny · 2 Oct 2013 at 22:30

So will the pre-order price be £589.99

teppic · 2 Oct 2013 at 22:31

I hope Gibbo lets us know how many get pre-ordered. I bet it's the full amount allocated.

IT Troll · 2 Oct 2013 at 22:31

Why only 8,000?

a) Supply problems?
b) This is a special promotion and BF4 will be free?
