Deneb does 4.3GHz on air, launch approaching

Hope this is true, if nothing else it might mean we get some cheap Yorkfield quads in the future - but if Deneb does clock like that on air (i.e. 4GHz and up) semi-regularly, I suppose I'll be getting AM3 after 775.
 
The acquisition of ATi seems to have kept AMD alive through their 65nm Phenoms, which were badly recieved. It's quite amazing they can fight a war on two fronts and take it IMO.
 
Which boards have an SB750 southbridge?

Although OCUK Don't stock them (yet) there are a lot more resonable priced SB750 based boards.

There is also the AMD 790GX/SB750 Based Boards which have onboard graphics, such as the Asus M3A78-T, Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-DS4H, Foxconn A7DA-S, BIOSTAR TA790GX A2+, DFI LANPARTY DK 790GX-M2RS.

Some more AMD 790FX/SB750 include Asys M3a79-t Deluxe, Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-DS4H, DFI LANPARTY DK 790FXB-M2RS, DFI LANPARTY DK 790FXB-M2RSH
 
the ones that are super-ripoff expensive and gay looking to boot :/

if deneb takes off i'm sure there will be more offerings though :)

There are more mobos on the way which are far cheaper. The foxxcon is the most expensive.

ASRock AOD790GX
Asus M3a79-T Deluxe
DFI LANparty DK 790FXB-M2RSH
DFI LANparty DK 790GX-M2RS
DFI LANparty JR 790GX-M2RS
Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-DS4H
MSI DKA790GX Platinum
MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum
MSI K9N2 Zilent
BIOSTAR TA790GX

Would really make sense if OcUK start stocking those now then - really looking forward to seeing what a complete revamp of my setup would cost.
 
I'll be waiting for reviews of this and i7.

Which ever is the best might be what I upgrade to.

That is only if they are quite a bit faster than my current setup :)

Although I really hope AMD pull out a good CPU, we need some good compitition again :)

For the majority of overclockers, the Phenom is as good as the equivalent Core 2 Quad. For the hardcore, the C2Q series are better only because they have a greater chance of breaching 3.6-odd GHz.

For i7/Nehalem, the main improvements look to be focussed on the server market rather than the average joe gamer, but that is just based on my reading from Anandtech.
