cool way to spend a cool grand, I want one :w00t:
no...wait...I'm waiting for the quad core Opteron...next year...meh.

here's what the Enquirer has to say:

Athlon 64 FX-60 marks the end of single-core CPU's, and finally puts the last nail into the coffin of single-threading. The product will be clocked at 2.6 GHz and it will actually get beaten in some 3D tests by its predecessor, 2.8 GHz clocked FX-57.

ummm....they're not saying the FX-60 is single core,
they're saying it's marking the end of....


The new FX-60 has two cores joined at hip, with a modified memory controller to fit the bill.

:P

or...what were you trying to say? :huh:

dear god lol

[Seedler]

Well, it's clocked the same as a fx-55, so it's a fx-55 dual-core i guess.

It's probably worth the investment in the future, but now, the fx-57 is still 0.2ghz faster than the fx-60 dual core, and this 0.2 ghz showed up in the gaming benchmarks.

I was drooling over this one last night, but dear god is it expensive...

indeed...they would make more money selling it cheaper, because more people could afford it. $500 would definately make more money in the total outcome.

Not true. They already have CPUs for $500.

not true.
the prices are what they are for a reason
it costs money to bring these products to the shelves
they don't just set the price to whatever they feel

it seems really really sick, but i dont have that kinda money
Is that because of all the ice cream you owe me?
I will forego a quart or two if that will help.
