AMD release Sept 25th? - Page 3

**Capper** · September 25th, 2007

I think the masses are going to be underwhelmed once all the marketing smoke clears.

That's Socket F, AMD's server-only platform. You can't use these chips in AM2 or AM2+ desktop motherboards.

Black Edition CPU?

ROFLMAO!

What a waste of time and effort. About the only people that CPU will appeal to are AMD die-hard fan boi enthusiast and even then, it's such a small market for any component manufacturer, I bet they've spent more on marketing it than the revenues they'll see from the sales of the CPU itself. They will probably make more money off of their other processors just from having the marketing hype surrounding this "Black Edition" crap.

IMHO, this just goes to show how desperate AMD is.

does it come with a black IHS? :-P LOL

if AM2+ boards were out already, it might be a nice chip to tide you over till phenom, but then again AM2+ motherboards aren't out

still waiting on K10 AMD......

I had a feeling that's all this would be, ultimately turning into a rehash of a conversation that already took place regarding AMD's Black Edition (LINK).
