When's the new AMD out?

[Robert]

Basically I'm going to overhaul my rig when the new M2 comes out, but when will it be out? I'm probably going to wait for DX10 cards and get a crossfire capable board (bit of future proofing). I'm not too bothered how long the socket lasts I'll just change the board as I'll have a PCI-E card anyway.

I beleive AM2 is looking like an a July/August launch.

I thought it was 6/6/06 at that Cebit show?

Early pre production reviews seem to see little performance increase over existing hardware anyway,theres a mention about it in another thread about am2.

will be future proof though compared to 939

The tests were carried out with DDR2 memory running at DDR speeds but with DDR2 timings. A little unfair i think

666 and as ladforce said, they were using a maximum of DDR-667 when we all know DDR2-800 is gonna be the sweet spot as 400 is right now and DDR2-1066 such as the latest crucial gear is gonna be the OC friend. and we gotta take into account these are the editions with the dodgy mem controllers and we've yet to see the new ones
