I would have thought 45nm but apparently its a 65nm ...
I hate it when some retailers dont put all the specs on the page, however its an excellent price.
Linky below with more details on the phenom model you're looking at.
New build time huh?
*Edit* Ooops, I see you have that cpu at the mo.

AMD does not have any 45nm products in the market yet.
No not a new build,just looking to put to use the other 790x board I have.Quote:

Looks great.Quote:

Oh ? Lol!!!!!!
I want to get an X4 already, but it's so hard to decide which one. I've heard too many horror stories of black editions not working and other versions being excessively complicated to overclock.
Any X4 BE has an unlocked multiplier.The 9950 I heard is great to O'c on GX & SB750 boards.Quote:

Will they work on AM2+ sockets?Quote:

I agree with iamsotupid. Unless you just cannot wait for some reason, I'd hold on for some reviews of the 45nm Phenoms. They're just around the corner.Quote:

Hopefully so. I find it quite strange, that with all the advancements, even in the CPU and mobo sector, that clock rates are still hovering around the same.
You would think someone would look at raising the FSB and multiplier significantly, to give a greater speed.
we are trying to add more execution units to the chips and running them at a lower voltage. it is unreasonable for a processor to have a TDP greater than 130w, that is why frequencies have been where they are.
Still it would be nice to have something,in the order of 3.2 to 3.5 running already.Instead consumers have to resort to O'cing and risk voiding a warranty.

if they could produce enough volume, i am sure we would be seeing higher frequencies...frankly, after reading M Shuette's very recent review of the Nehalem, AMD is not even within one generation of catching up, not even close...LOL, IPC isn't saving their arse right now......I have personally known Michael for many years, he is very thorough and would never fudge figures......
here is the linkie:

it is pretty pathethic IMHO, just look at the long list of benchies in the review, and I have been AMD through and through over the years, so now it looks like my the next intineration will be with the Intel product....
even with AMD's 45nm debut on the horizon, I still see problems with AMD truly competing heads up.....
bummer, but it is what it is....jeesh, my 6400+BE is lucky to hit the mid 3300's without, err, hiccups, from a stock 3.20gig (this is with pelt chilled water), so I have found other ways to "juice" performance, mostly in the ram area.....to say that I am disappointed would be an understatement....and going quad core is just more of the same, except for more cores......
you can only say 'yeah, but' so many times, sooner or later you will come to the conclusion AMD is presently playing second fiddle, and a very weak second fiddle at that....
laterzzzz................
As much as I hate to admit it.You are totally right,AMD better get on the ball soon,or I see chapter 11 on the horizon.
i think they have the low cost / low power end nailedQuote:

yeah, we're all talking about K10, whose TDP is no less than an abomination. there is no reason but sentimentality for anyone to choose a Phenom build as of now.

Amen to that.......
It only hurts one time converting to the Intel platform (CPU and MB, and maybe DDR3), but once you have done the deed, upgrading CPU's is about the same cost after that, I can live with paying a little extra for the Intel product at upgrade time, especially since the Intel product does insane scaling compared to AMD.......
Then, there is the performance......basically, Intel just flat out screams right now.....
Really, except for people with huge budget concerns and the many AMD fanpeople that will never give up on AMD, Intel is the snizit right now, hands down.....
Sheding a tear for AMD right now...
Laterzzzz....................
