For those wondering, fx-53's are now in stock at the major retailers (newegg, zipzoomfly, mwave). Newegg is price gouging up the butt, and zipzoomfly/mwave are fairly reasonable though still more expensive than before they went out of stock. Best bet is zipzoomfly at this point who is selling for 860 w/ free shipping. Mwave is 852 but shipping is pretty high
Fx-53's (s939) are now back in stock

I ordered from ZipZoomFly, as I love the free shipping deals and everything. Although $30 more than their last, it certainly left a sweet taste in my mouth knowing that NewEgg is over $80 more.
Thankfully, I had auto-notify before this became unavailable again.

Why bother with this? The 3800+ scored right behind this in all benchmarks. And its $300 cheaper. Save your money and buy the 3800+,
I'm willing to wait for the FX-55 which I'm sure it won't benchmark right behind =0þ
I love my job.
Exactly, IMO highest-end is the 3800. Because the FX is priced to compete with the slower EE. So they figure they'll make some extra cash. The FX has double the cache of the 3800 yet it barely beats it out in benchmarks. So the question is $650 for the best you can get, or waste money for 2fps more for $935?
Eggo that's reasonable to wait for the 2.6ghz. But I hope it will be 90nm otherwise wait for the 90nm. They'll be much more stable than Intels flop of a cpu.
Let me see where you read this thing of the 3800+ vs the FX-53 please? I'm considering what you said, but I do a lot of things other than gaming with my PC, there's the audio/video/photo/3d editing and whatnot. But I'd prefer an AMD rather than a P4.

Yes, I can back it up
I didn't say you couldn't, I just wanted to see where you got it from. I read this a while ago, I didn't know the 3800+ was in it. What would you consider better for overclocking? For not overclocking?
The Fx -53 is in stock at Outpost for 811 plus 5 dollars shipping. Sales tax is limited to a few states. I am gonna grab myself one for a killer price.
I wish from now on, anytime anybody tries to sell an FX-53, they'll let us know if it's 940 or 939, for that price it's very hard to tell. I almost died that a 939 is selling for that price.
Yes, it's definitely not 939 LOL. But a killer price? Yes, it kills your budget and you don't get an amazing deal. The 3800 is clocked the same, if not for FX's 512kb extra they would perform identicle.
Why would you spend so much more money? Save that $350 and get an X800XT.

My bad guys, I got a little excited when I saw that price so I thought I would let everyone know. I saw the box and it looks exactly like the 939 part but the bus speed is not the 939 part. I didn't mean to get everyone's hopes up, I guess I will be jumping on the Zipzoomfly deal. I am getting a 6800 Ultra along with it, I just want the best as of right now.
could anyone hypothesize as to when amd will release the s939 on their midrange cpu's (3200+, 3000+ and such) what's the usual wait between new chipset release and it's permeation into the maistream desktop market?
just recently decided to go a64 over intel and after that struggle, i'm torn between getting a generously priced 3000+, or hold out til 939 becomes available at the $250 and below range.
