WTH is up with that? How come OEMs have them but we cant buy them yet?

DanishDevil · Apr 11, 2008

They can probably make enthusiasts want them more if they torture us

ShadowFold · Apr 11, 2008

Well they sure are making me want one more :mad:

Silverel · Apr 11, 2008

The real question is...

How long until an enthusiast goes out and buys a whole OEM PC, just to rip out the X3 and bench it for the rest of us?

ShadowFold · Apr 11, 2008

I might if I win the lottery LOL That HP is a good deal just pop a 3850 in there and you got a good gamer. Cant OC tho

I think its native idk all I know is I want one

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I believe all the tricores right now have the errata. They are the "gimp" Phenom X4s, so they disabled a core. If there's a market once they're through with the bad Phenoms, then we'll start seeing B3's.

I wouldn't be surprised if AMD bought back its TLB bugged X4s from resellers, disabled a core, and sold them. Would actually be a smart move in my opinion.

Yeah thats what my sources were telling me I just wondered if anything changed.

Good idea about the disabling and rebadging because if it was done in some ways we could change it back but still pay the lower price. :laugh:

OMG TPU would be the Christ of PC enthusiasts if they found a way to flash the X3s to X4s

GLD · Apr 11, 2008

An X3, not for me. Im just a casual geek, and a casual gamer. Props to AMD for sure. People will buy them, that is for sure. :toast:

trog100 · Apr 11, 2008

the oems want the tri-core chips to sell what would otherwise be dual core boxes.. any fool knows that three is better than two.. at the cheaper end they should sell well..

the old buggy chips will do the job well enough..

Why, when you can have a quad.

If you're a big Newegg customer, ask if they'll pull one and sell it separately.
