AMD Delivers Elite Visual Computing Performance with Latest Desktop Platform

This is exciting! The performance is solid, overclocking is strong, and multi-threaded apps are brought to their knees...cheaply...
...ohh...and AMD is being extremely customer friendly by not completely altering the socket with every new processor.

+1 on that :toast:
 
Nice to see that AMD still favors us old AM2+ users. :)
 
And I'm still waiting for Asus to update my bios and they already said they would.
 
Very awesome PR machine working there. Man I so want one, and I need to check out the Hot Deals Section.
 
Whaaat MM your upgrading? wow sounds serious :laugh:

The second they update the bios for my mobo to support a 1090 Ill be buying one. What sucks is they already advertise my board as 6 core capable.

I called Asus today and am waiting on them to call back.

ASUS M4 Series Motherboards Ready for AMD Phenom II X6 processors

Model: M4A78-E ..... Chipset: AMD® 790GX/SB750 ..... BIOS Version: 2405

Mines listed there too (M4A785-M), it makes me feel a little better, but they gotta roll out these bios's already.

EDIT: mine says it will support 6 cores from bios 0803, and the current bios is already at 0906, maybe its time to buy a 6 core eh
 
shit im going to find good deal for my i7 cpu and mobo

That would be a side grade not an upgrade why waste your time!

If you were building a new system or upgrading your current AM2+/AM3 setup I could see that.
 
giga sent me an apology once i showed them the chips were out, and they told me they'll update the board page within the next few days.
