[fullinfusion]

i bet 42 means chip 42 or maybe 42 loads of BS

STHU CD!!
outta all of us YOU'LL be the man to get his hand on one, if and when they come out....
we can always have hope lol

Not for sale as posted on amdzone.

I think the 42 means 4.2 Ghz. Probably have been tested to run at 4.2 stable with V and multi bump (heavily cherry picked of course).

yeah but thats cause its a sample. i mean in the future.

How about 42 meaning 42 nanometers

Wow AMD is surprisingly on the move this year, typically the CEO just goes to sleep in the middle of the meeting, but this idea is simply clever for marketing.

You must remember that Mr. Sanders is "sorta coming back"... and this is within his personality to name a product like that.....

the next step is 32nm not 42nm

Maybe three of the nm were defective...?

I do hope you're kidding

Since i have youngest brother of 9xx line, the 920 AM2+ socket, i am starting to feel envy...
Anyway, looks like THE beast, i am more than sure it will cost less than i7 975...

IMHO, they should release it as the Phenom FX, clock it stock at 4.0Ghz, have official dual channel DDR3 1600+ memory support without issue, and give me a free one to test for them!

If a Phenom II FX ever comes to be, it will be after they have consumer-grade RD890 chipset for multi-socket boards, and will make a DSDC platform (like Athlon64 FX 70 series). Again, it's a big 'if'.

finally AMD marketing has come with a new ideea

Competition to drive the CPU market = Sweet deals

Well, any desktop processor would cost less than that... a lot less >.<

The Answer is: 42

Meh, I hated that. I preferred the days of the Athlon FX DDR1 where it plugged right into the common S939 motherboard.

Aside from that, most motherboards (especially gigabyte) list support for the Phenom FX processors. Granted they never materialized and they don't list Phenom II FX support, but I don't want to see a Phenom II FX exclusively on socket other than AM3.

Perhaps they could release an Istanbul FX for AM3, as well as a multisocket compatible version along side it with the release of the RD890/SB850 chipset. That would be .

Quite possible, having just sold your Phenom II 955!

speaking of that was shipped and i have the customs number and receipt if you want them

 

[suraswami]

may be Number 6 is lucky for AMD

Look here guys. This might be fake news.

Well, the points charlie made are very crappy.

ES's like the ones he has are made in greater numbers.

These are a VERY VERY VERY limited run. Under 200 released. So why put a barcode/SN on them when the S/N is saved in the EPROM on the CPU die?

In Douglas Adams books, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a group of super intelligent, pan-dimensional beings demand the answer to the the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything from the supercomputer "Deep Thought" which was designed for that purpose. After 7.5 million years, "Deep Thought" responded with the answer 42.

Coincidence?

Exactly what I was thinking.
