Fx-57...????

HawgsHead · Jan 15, 2005, 03:24 AM

Anyone herd anything about the FX-57 coming out in the next few months?I have about half the parts ordered for an SLI/FX-55 rig but if the 57 is coming out fairly soon I wanna wait...Thanks again!

The AMD roadmap says Q1 2005 for the FX57. I wouldn't count on it it being this month, besides the FX55 hasn't been out all that long to begin with. If there is one thing I'm learning about waiting for new computer hardware to come out is that the companies release them when there darn good and ready and then they wait awhile longer. I considered waiting on the FX57 also, but I don't have that much patience. So, maybe in the next couple of months, probably more toward the end of February just as my own uneducated guess. Sorry, I couldn't give you anything more definite.

i wold guess end of febuary too. if u can hold off on a new setup do it.

You already got a nice comp so I'd hold of. Personally since you seem to be loaded I'd buy the DFI NF4 SLI board, 2x512 of OCZ VX ram or some LA/LE Gskill TCCD, and a nice new FX57. FX-57 even higher clocks, and it may be a 90nm cpu, but I can't remember.

Hawg what do you do for a living to keep buying new comps?

Q1 of this year for the 57... it's going to finally be the release of the San Diego core... the one i want... it's the 90nm FX series (current FX series are 130nm)... so it's practically a winchester with a 1mb cache

probably going to cost and arm and a leg...

drakesteakn · Jan 16, 2005, 03:14 AM

same price as the FX-55 when it came out. when a new cpu comes out the older ones move down the price list.
