Hi guys

I've seen various bits of news about these chips over the forums and the net in general about how they'll be perpetually "out next week", yet they never come out! Is there any more concrete info on the release date of these chips?

Looking to build a new machine with one pretty soon...

Cheers

they were supposed to be out last week...or this week, but it's gone bloody quiet hasn't it
 
Can't wait for it to come out. I want to see proper reviews and see how it fairs when pitched against the i7 920.

I'm thinking about building an AMD system based on the new chip and give my i7 to my brother.. I love the i7 but too bad I'm too much of an AMD fan boy. :p
 
Cheers for the info, and it's good to know that I'm not the only one waiting for one! I know it's only a 200MHz bump but every little helps esp you're gonna hang onto the machine for years.
 
well i'm waiting too, but i'm not as excited as all that, i'm much more excited about modding my new case next week ... the cpu can wait till next July and by then, God knows what'll be around...maybe even a 4.0 stock :D
 
I have seen reviews in forums of the 965 and aparently overclocks very well and beyond 4Ghz easily. Lets hope the retail is as good as the ones I have seen.
 
If AMD keep this up with high standard clock speeds, then people will purchase their processors in an effort to overclock above 4Ghz and more.
 
got fed up waiting for the 965 myself so just bought a 955 i know it's stupid but my original phenom 9650 is such a bottleneck for my hd4870x2 it's untrue plus my mobo aint the best so thats being replaced aswell, it's a worthy upgrade for me.
 
Yeh I'm also tempted to just upgrade now to a 955. Gonna try hold on though hopefully it will be worth the wait and be able to overclock to 4GHz easily enough on air. If not a 955 will probably go down in price anyway.

Didn't we hear the same about 940/955 though, until they're in users hands and not cherry samples you've really got to take those remarks with a pinch of salt.
 
Got a 965 here, running nicely 3.4ghz stock. I'm not meant to put any results out until 13th, but will let you know then how it performs.

that's a custom ``one off special benchmark only`` CPU..........that's not the one we're getting...that was pre- released early to generate hype...... it's classic marketing!
