Bios updates for Gigabyte P67 boards etc supporting 22nm are out

GUTTED for you

a big LOL at you.

GUTTED for you

Like all the "press releases" which said the same for Core2 and Bulldozer CPUs. 45NM processors working with older chipsets or Bulldozer working with socket AM3 motherboards.

Where is the INTEL press release then?? Until the company who actual makes the CPU and chipsets says so it is just marketing fud. When Ivy Bridge

a big LOL at you.

Flip-flop much.

Wow your delusional

Even Asrock have 22nm support BIOSes for boards

You lose I win

Bulldozer CPUs.

What you waffling about, ASUS have released bios updates for AM3 boards to support AM3+ Bulldozer namely the Crosshair IV etc.

And dont worry, when Intel release their press release too, i will make sure to rub it in

Done!!!!!

Im out!!!!

Wow,your the one is delusional and is clueless about how motherboards companies have made claims in the past. You seem to believe marketing fluff from companies. BTW,what about the other companies who don't support Bulldozer with their older 800 series chipset AM3 motherboards.

You keep on dodging the question though - where is the OFFICIAL Intel statement about computability from their website or an OFFICIAL press release??

I will be happy then as I can upgrade my CPU to something better.

Why would it hurt sales? If anything it would help sales of DIY PCs as people would know they have a decent upgrade path.

I can remember the marketing fluff with Core 2 when similar claims were made for certain chipset implementations too.

Like I said if the compatibility is confirmed by Intel then I will be happy that you are right.

If he does go for an Intel system, he's gone have to buy a new motherboard as well.

The OP's friend got a AM2, not AM2+ motherboard...so the chances are Phenom II X4 CPU most likely won't work on it...and even if it does, it would be slow as hell on those dated motherboard without up-to-date chipset.

I3 2100 + dedicated graphics card >>> AMD. More cores =/= faster CPU. Theres a good reason why AMD quad and hex cores are so cheap compared to Intel, and that is quite honestly that they are pure garbage.

For the last few posts above, its common knowledge at this point that Ivy Bridge CPUs will work on current SB boards.

This +1 X 1,000,000

AMD are suffering big time now, no one is buying their old junk, everyone wants Sandybridge etc.

Plenty of people is trying to feed AMD more sales by giving bad advice
