When is the AMD Phenom FX Cpu coming out?

because next year I will build my own computer. I was wondering when AMD will have a high end CPU like there FX series

and would it be a big upgrade from a AMD x2 4200+ 2.2 GHZNeubauer4

Yes, but chances are it will still be slower and more expensive than Intel... or slightly cheaper and still much slower, making intel still a better buy. And id you on the old AM2 it will probably require a new motherboard, might as well get an intel now rather than waiting.

i beg to differ....the new chips after i7 that come out will be much faster than amd but i do belive the chips that are coming out in mid 09 will be in close rage to what intel has nowNeo_revolution7

Do you mean the AMD 45nm chips? When is that supposed to be? I probably couldn't wait that long anyway, might wait until after i7 is released just for maybe price drops for the current platform.

mid 2009...and if your gona be using i7 for gaming its gona be a waste there are lil to no gains in the gaming world. Now for video editing and encoding it will be great forNeo_revolution7

Yeah, too long to wait for me... and if there only as good as intels current line thered be no reason anyhow... I'd rather stay with amd rather than switch to the dark side lol, but it makes little sense to stay with amd today.

whats funny is they say more cores are better. yes they are but only when dev write software to use it.firedrakes

Its only one application... but in video encoding, you see almost a iinear performance increase as you increase cores... 4 cores is twice as fast as 2 cores. It does show the potential. But as it is now, most games are not CPU bound, so supporting 4 cores has not been a big priority.

Doesn't anyone read anymore...? At the top of the article, in bold even. Maybe highlighting it will work.

ioll wait for the BE edition
