lol i feel so bad for you. People keep reading the inital post and nothing else. :roll:

eidairaman1 · Dec 16, 2008

People lead themselves around here to be Illiterate because they don't read the entire post and jump to conclusions.

Bluefox1115 · Dec 18, 2008

I read the entire post, but as always with companies, you never know their pricing schemes. AMD very well may enter them to the market at the sub-$300 mark.. don't jump to conclusions.

Sonido · Dec 22, 2008

Pricing changes

New price estimates have been released. These are current to December, so these are set after the release of i7. Again, prices MAY be different at launch. According to Softpedia, the AM2+ Phenom II's may be shipping out as early as Dec. 20th '08 for the us and 2 days earlier for Europe (Dec. 18th '08).

Will am3 support ddr3 memory ?

kenkickr · Dec 22, 2008

Yes it will. I can't wait for the AM2+ baby's to come out!! Now I just need to get rid of my board.

PaulieG · Dec 22, 2008

The 945 is not supposed to be released until April? LOL. I'll have one the week after Christmas. Can't wait! My Biostar GX3 is updated, and just waiting...

HolyCow02 · Dec 22, 2008

The 940 comes out in early jan, which is the am2+ version. The 945 is the am3 version, which is the one I will be getting.... oh april cannot come soon enough!

allegedly yes

MadClown · Dec 22, 2008

so, would it be worth it to get a X4 940 for an AM2+ mobo?

Those crazy 5-6ghz OC's you are seeing people do are on 790 series chipset boards so I say yea.

+1... it definitely seems like a worthy upgrade. But we will truly know once the official benchmarks come out next month with the release.

That's the 940. Same as the 945 just without DDR3 support. I bet the 945 will have something a bit more special when it comes out

Might as well stick with the 940. Unless, you are getting DDR3? Hell, send me that 940 when you get a 945

Yes. That's the main selling point for AM3. I will bet that there will be DDR2/3 hybrid AM3 motherboards. This is so if you already have 4 GB of DDR2; you won't have to upgrade. DDR2and DDR3 have been shown to be neck and neck in some performance benchmarks. DDR2 has even beat DDR3 in some cases. The one thing DDR3 has over 2 is the tri-channel (which is more gimmicky than anything else, ATM) and support for higher densities.

Melvis · Dec 23, 2008

Depends on the performance of these new Quads, if they are close to the i7 then yes the prices will stay high, but if not, then yea they will drop. I haven't seen any real Proper Benchmarks yet so its all speculation at this stage until there released to the public.
We all want cheap CPU's but AMD also needs to make a profit, but they also need the performance to make this work.

No, you don't understand. The chip I'm getting IS the AM3 945 BE. Trust me on this this. It's a special chip.

. I'll post screenies as soon as I get it.

It is an ES.

So, when you get it, you up for some Clock for clock cpu tests?

Sonido · Dec 23, 2008

Paulieg said:

Aww, either way, good get. I guess it's better than waiting for April. The stepping will likely be different, but it should work fine. Congrats, my friend. I wanna see your benchies. Like you said, I want pictures and videos. Lucky @$$!

He said he would post pics. I hope he does a clock for clock.

Yeah. it would really help shed some light on where it lies performance wise vs Yorkfield.

Sure, though we already know how it compares to i7. I want to know how it compares to Penryn, since it's at the same price point.
