We considered Until now that the release of platform AMD 4x4 will takes place on 14 November, next day after the beginning of the deliveries of systems on the base of the four core processors kentsfield. However, associates told, that the release of platform AMD 4x4 and the chipset nForce 680a SLI will takes place on 30 November.
According to the large calculation, the date of announcment for this platform do not means a lot for many consumers. First, the systems of this class will be sufficiently expensive, than no one doubted from the beginning.
In the second place, the deliveries of the systems class AMD 4x4 can be begun only during December, according to information available to us. However, in retail the packages for the creation of such systems will be somewhat later. By the way, we succeeded in confirming information about the transfer OF announcment for AMD 4x4 to 30 November
More than that,there is known the updated prices of processors series athlon 64 FX-2P, which had to be lowered relative to original level. Unfortunately, into $1000 the high-end processors series do not enter, but now its important to know the price range where are placed the whole two packages of processors:
- 2 X athlon 64 FX-70 (2.6 GHz) - > $599;
- 2 X athlon 64 FX-72 (2.8 GHz) - > $899;
- 2 X athlon 64 FX-74 (3.0 GHz) - > $1199.
Processors will be sold by pairs, and although each one of them will be able to work separately, it will be hard to buy such cpu in the official retail network. dual core processor athlon 64 FX with the frequency of 2.6 GHz and 2 X 1 mb cache will cost $299 - completely tempting sentence. Such cpu will be limited to- Socket F, and also inevitability of removal from production of processors athlon 64 FX socket AM2.
In the second quarter of 2007 will be released the processor athlon 64 FX-76 (3.2 GHz), which will be based on the previous 0.09 m core windsor, it will be socket F compatible and with TDP level not more than 125 W.
As bonus we can propose the photograph of motherboard asus L1N64-SLI deluxe - which will work in the composition of systems class AMD 4x4 in the first weeks after its announcment.
These photographs were published by one Japanese associate. As you see, for the work with these four video cards systems use single-stage cooling. However, it is possible to use two dual chips video card.
We already told about the possibilities of this motherboard. remain only to supplement that systems this class will the use of unregistred memory type DDR 2-800, so with that level the performance of subsystem memory must be higher than in analogous servers processors opteron socket F.
