Check it out.....

HERE

Would love to test one of those babies out for overclocking.

*cough* *spuuuuuurrrrrrlllllllllllttttttt*

/me dies

Jesus, thats expensive, but not a massive shock.

FX60 Vs FX57 benchmarks needed....

Otacon · 9 Jan 2006 at 15:37

Oh my pricetag :eek:

brocksta · 9 Jan 2006 at 15:40

ill take 5!

not

m3csl2004 · 9 Jan 2006 at 15:42

pretty steep lol, but methinks dual core 3 gig would be sweet

Matt_Hirst · 9 Jan 2006 at 15:48

Anyone have an idea when they're out as it only says pre-order?

It's a hell of a lot of money for a processor but when you compare the price to the FX57 it actually aint bad - not that I can afford either I might add, lol.

regards,

Matt

Is that it, i think i will have a couple, anyone else like one while i am spending my pocket money?

I WISH!!

Well that definately aint for the faint hearted, i would hate to fry that by overclocking

Broon · 9 Jan 2006 at 15:56

Here are the first benchmarks I've seen. Meant to be out this month. Start saving.

Pr0t0c0L · 9 Jan 2006 at 16:07

is this basically a 4800 overclocked by 200mhz?

Otacon · 9 Jan 2006 at 16:13

It's multi-unlocked, making it ideal for the serious clocker.

Cold_And_Miserable · 9 Jan 2006 at 16:18

The FX60 would be better value than the 4800 as it is a guaranteed clocker due to the better memory controller, while the 4800 is just an expensive 4400. Its very tempting indeed.

Nem · 9 Jan 2006 at 16:41

I'm still thinking a opty 165 is a better idea, overclocking potential depandant of course. But my system running a opty 146 at 300htt already should see 2.7Ghz out of the opty 165 which is already 100Mhz faster than the FX60 and £600 exactly less!

£822!!
cant wait for the benchmarks

Kesnel · 9 Jan 2006 at 17:05

I wonder if I could afford that on my student loan.

Still, when multithreaded apps become more common, I can see that making some killer benchmarks.

gary996 · 9 Jan 2006 at 17:34

As ive said b4 if these will oc to 3gig on air with no probs then my name is down for one

bikes · 9 Jan 2006 at 17:45

Tbh I wouldnt even dream of paying that much for a cpu......silly money :rolleyes:

Mad old tory · 9 Jan 2006 at 17:46

I've never had a system that cost as much as that processor

vincentvega14 · 9 Jan 2006 at 18:08

I suggest people wait till theyre actually hitting retail channels 100%. Then we will see how they clock and they should drop to the same price as the fx57 currently is as AMD always has their top fx processor at same price grade.

benjo plz. · 9 Jan 2006 at 18:11

lol that price is stupid. Why do people like AMD charge so much when they cost $40 to make?

Mul · 9 Jan 2006 at 18:16

^^ It's because of the yields of Toledo cores being able to hit 2.6Ghz stock volts I believe.
