New vishera pricing at BLT

[sequoia464]

Just is case anyone is interested.

Substantial drop from what was posted there a couple of weeks ago. Saw this at XS forums.

Pricing is not good because that will reflect the performance as well.

You mean it's priced similarly to Intel, which reflects that it will perform similarly to Intel? :awe:


...I'm such a **** when I'm drunk.

EDIT: Lol, language.

I disagree. Pricing reflects AMD trying to be competitive, and that's really almost all they have going up against intel. Remember Bulldozer's initial pricing? That didn't reflect performance very well did it.

When are these supposed to be released?

The 23rd of this month is the date I have seen referred to most often.

Don't know if that is accurate - I'm sure some of the more informed around here know for sure - but those darn NDA's get in the way.

I just want to see overclocking and power consumption results compared to Bulldozer.

I'm calling November!

what he means is that the highest end part is still cheaper than the i5 3570K, which in all likelihood means AMD is still a long ways off from truly competing outside of undercutting the competition, something they simply cannot keep doing and expect to succeed

As far as value goes, AMD still seems quite viable, no? I don't require true performance (and my video card should be able to carry most games anyways (which is also produced by AMD)).

I've heard rumors the release date is October 23, 2012. http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/di..._Flagship_FX_Processor_Available_at_Ebay.html

I'm unsure the reliability of that claim though.

The $11 jump from the 4300 to the 6300 seems like a no-brainer to me if you were dead set on AMD.

$208 for FX 8350 is pretty good pricing imo even if it's just a 10% increase in performance over bulldozer (AMD claim up to 15%). The 8350 should be able to hold it's ground decently enough against the i7 2600k hopefully, and it will definitely pull it apart from the i5 2500k. Unfortunately, essentially Pileldriver is what Bulldozer should have been in the first place....

kinda how phenom 2 was what phenom should have been in the first place.

Can't wait to see how improved it will be comapred BD.

Just got a 8150 a while back for $170.00 so I'll wait till the price drops and I see the true comparisons of the 8150 to the 8350.
