When will the FX-57 come out...because i am waiting for it to come out so the other prices of AMD processor will drop...
 
It probably wont' drop the prices of other AMD chips, only the fx's. It should be coming out withing a month or two though.

The FX-55 will turn into the 4200+ with the multi locked and cost $700.

That makes no sense since the FX55 is a 130nm part without SSE3...This is going to be a venice core...Where did you get this???
 
I think what he means is that there will be a 2.6GHz San Diego (1MB L2 Venice) chip with locked multies to take the place of the FX-55.

That is a big stretch....He is just wrong the way he worded it...The FX55 is not a sand diego core so it will not just be the FX55 turned into a 4200+...It is a new core, period...

Buying a 3000+ venice and overclocking it to 3 Ghz = priceless

You don't buy an FX for speed, you buy it for Cache size and unlocked multiplier.

I agree with you though, the FX is a waste of money. If cache = that important, get the 4000+

And the 4000+ is nothing more then a FX-53, so why now not just get a FX-53 which is 100% unlocked?

The above statments are rather correct. When the The FX-55 was released the FX-53 was no more and at the same time the 4000+ was released which is the only none FX chip with 1MB cache because its nothing more then the FX-53 half locked. When the FX-57 comes out, the FX-55 will be no more and at the same time the 4200+ will come out.

My best guess is you will see two versions on the 4200+. One will use the same core that the FX-55 uses now but will be half locked, then there will be another using some newer core. Perhaps San Diego, or perhaps venice. It will depend the most on how many FX-55 cores AMD has left.
 
What you have to realise is that converting the FX53 down to the 4000+, or just converting the FX series down to the athlon series is not a trend it was a one off, the fx55 was like a tester for strained silicon (although i think they needed to do this because 130nm +2.6 Ghz is a no go, without strained silicon)...

i think that you will find that AMD are totally abandening 130nm technology on the 64 bit chips, instead of having 130nm on some chips strained silicon on one of the other chips (FX55) and 90nm on some of the other chips.. they are ready to convert and standerdise their chips ... 90nm for all plus strained silicon 'sSOI' plus SSE3 and ofcourse the improved mem controllers, and the only thing that they will do is change the speeds in which the chips are locked at to correspond with the PR 3500+, 3800+, FX57 etc etc...

the only differnece i believe with the new FX57 and and new athlons including the 4200+ (on the venice cores) is the amount of L2 cache, 512 for athlons and 1Mb for the FX57...

Yeah but speed wise it will be equal to FX55. SSE3 brings almost no real world benefit. It wont be = FX55 in terms of overclocking though.
 
It seems that AMD only ever has one 'FX' A64 in production at any one time, excluding the non-FX incarnations of these processors.
That would explain why I haven't seen any FX-51s around since shortly after their release.

When are the Venice core 3000+ due to arrive?


Thanks,

The prices of the other chips are dropping slowly though.

Yes the prices are dropping, but it isn't because new FX's are being released.

pcmodem: Check the official venice thread, if there's anything, it should be there.

fx51 = 3400+ just single channel s754
