Trinity desktop is already out!

Oh, so its just another way underpowered AMD deal. Got it.

I suppose it could be interpreted that way. The fact that AMD is able to make this happen despite their huge disadvantages is in some ways laudable.

If the price is right, I might end up building a few. I want a full GPU SKU and 3+ Ghz for less $100 or less though. It has to be able to compete, price wise, with a ~G620 and a 6570.

What in the hell is a G620 and why would somebody want one? Is that an E-machine CPU? Intel should just buy AMD, junk it, and leave the market with only Sandy's and Ivy's. The world would be a better place.
Intel could compete with itself more competitively than AMD could.
Damn, edit again. I feel an AMD soap box rant coming on. Why do they soak us with warm sick with each new release? Can't they make CPU's anymore? Or did they change strategies and start making shoes or something and CPUs are just a side business or what?
Low power, low cost, low this low blah blah. What a load of useless garbage.

LOLOL. emachine CPU

There's nothing wrong with emachine really, 99% of the budget stuff comes outta China.

Not trolling, just saying. I mean, people buy AMD to save power etc. For crying out loud, buy a SINGLE sandy bridge, and power every PC in the building with it. You'll save more and get better performance.

G620 == Sandy Bridge

OK fine, then buy that one. Why would anyone even consider AMD when a dual core sandy is only $65? Thats equal to like a 6 core AMD overclocked.

According to which benchmarks? SB is not some magic wand that can do anything, there are tasks where 6 slower cores beat the crap out of 2 faster ones.

And on second note, why is everyone up in arms over PCIe 3.0? Is PCIe 2.0 bottlenecking what you already have? If not, then who cares...

Still waiting on that golden $65 troll chip?

You guys are being trolled pretty hard.

If he/she didn't care about trinity he wouldn't be in this thread.

In the same bench you get your numbers from this happens:

*Omitted*

3.6Ghz FX8150 is 1.42, a 3.8Ghz FX8150 is 1.48. See the problem again?

iTunes isn't a single thread benchmark. It gains from 2 cores pretty well. It looks like the intermediate Turbo for the 5400K and 5800K are 4.0GHz and 3.7GHz respectively.

The 3.6GHz FX-8150 has TurboCore enabled so it should run at 3.9GHz, while the 3.8GHz one has fixed 3.8GHz frequency. It may briefly be able to reach higher frequencies as well.

About the FX-8350: The actual frequency gains are pretty minimal.

http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1038899527

FX-8350 - 4.0 GHz base speed, 4.2 GHz Turbo
FX-6300 - 3.8 GHz base speed, 4.1 GHz Turbo
FX-4320 - 4.2 GHz base speed, 4.3 GHz Turbo

Let's compare that to the previous generation:

FX-8150 - 3.6 GHz base speed, 4.2 GHz Turbo*
FX-6200 - 3.8 GHz base speed, 4.1 GHz Turbo - Identical
FX-4170 - 4.2 GHz base speed, 4.3 GHz Turbo - Identical

While the base frequencies are noticeably higher on the FX-8350, the FX-8150 supports all core Turbo running at 3.9GHz. Looking at how the lower end chips aren't clocking higher than the predecessors, the multi-core frequency might end up being at base 4GHz, or slightly higher at 4.1GHz. That's 2-5% higher frequency.
