P4 EE - An Intel Paper launch?

[DivideBYZero]

So the P4 - EE has been 'launched' today and competes very well with the A64FX. A handy thing for Intel.

But where can you buy one?

The A64 and FX are ready for shipping now:

A64

A64 FX 51

Anyone got links to retailers with the P4-EE?

from what i understand it wont be available for a couple months

So it's a paper launch then?

The Tech Report's article was pretty much accurate when it said: The FX-51 is so flat-out quick in 3D gaming, one wonders whether the Pentium 4 3.2GHz Extreme Edition doesn't exist just to save face for Intel. Were it not for the Extreme Edition's copious amounts of L3 cache, the Athlon 64 FX-51 would nearly have run the tables in our gaming tests.

 

Whats your point, nobody can afford any of them anyway...
Oh and by the way, working silicon is not a paper launch...
How angry are you going to get over this? Both companies are offering incredible CPU's. You
should be happy AMD did so well...

Buy me one from any retail channel and I'll give you the money...

And please stop trolling for a fight, you won't get one.

Somebody sure is buying them if they're out there. Maybe not you, but the world doesn't evolve around you.
It sure is a paper launch if it's not available to the public, but to only reviewers.
And that's the problem, both companies aren't offering incredible CPUs... only AMD is atm.

 

Ok then, you sure made your point clear there.

Find another thread to crap in please.

 

I will not lay out 7-8 hundred dollars for any processor. Moral Panic, do you actually know anyone who purchased an A64FX yet? If you say yes, I'm sure you'll understand my doubt.
I like AMD, I just built a new server for my office using a 2200+ on a A7N8X. Runs real nice. Throws off some good heat though. You guys just take a this Intel AMD stuff waaayyyy to seriously. Just, chill........

- This thread is not about price
- This thread is not about Intel Vs. AMD
- This thread is not about whether you HAVE bought, more if you CAN buy a P4 EE.
- Your 2.8 will chuck as much heat as a 2200+ any day.

How about $450 for the Athlon 64, which itself trounces the P4 3.2C (especially when overclocked).

I think it's pretty ridiculous that Intel is even releasing this P4 EE. With 2MB of cache, I seriously doubt it will ever fall below the $500 mark (at least no time soon). So, it's (as I said elsewhere) a knee-jerk reaction by Intel to save face in light of the A64. I think it's an obvious marketing ploy.

And don't bother arguing with gorillaman. He likes his Intel and he likes his nVidia. If those two companies are keeping up with paper launches and marketing tricks, in his eyes they're doing a good job. Down with ATI and AMD, right gorillaman? God bless those benevolent market leaders!

YES!!! Paperlaunch!!! No surprise since we knew it would be days ago.....

Effective rain on AMD's opening day??? Yes!!!

I wont be buying any cause I don't pay that much for cpus but it lets me know where each is headed when i upgrade since I will likely upgrade to this chips when they hit 200 range...

I see intels still do real well in multimedia and rendering which I do...I don't game!! This release and subsequsnet p4ee release is like the annual car show...sShow me the bells and whistles for the year and I may come back later!!!

Yeah, that's essentially as I see it also. Anything above a couple bills for a CPU is out of my price range, so it's all a tech demo for me at this point. I'd like to see AMD stay competitive here (which they fortunately seem to have done), but for the time being, Intel still has the most attractive chip at my price point: the P4 2.4C.
