AMD Phenom, 790FX and Radeon HD 3850/3870 gear up for AM D-Day

Comments

Hope for the best

Right now all we can do is hope for the best that Spider will kick ass. It is essential to the PC industry that AMD puts out a competitive product. If it's on par with Yorkfield, so be it. A level playing field really puts the decision on the consumer, which is what we all want.

Phenom better be a top performer, I'm tired of threads on forums everywhere with anything about Phenom being turned into an AMD bashing game...

3850 and 3870 should absolutely blow NVIDIA away for the time being with what has been shown. DX10.1 offers some nice improvements over DX10.0 so I expect developers to want to implement it.

First time in History

If I'm not mistaken, I think this is the first time that there's a simultaneous CPU+GPU+chipset launch.... This looks at least interesting in the history side, lets see if performance adds up...

cheers

Go DAMMIT

I'll agree first time I've seen such a launch but what a set-up it would be to have all the 3 above high-end parts. Some OCZ Crossfire DDR2 memory installed and Win XP (VISTA Piffle) top it up with a RAID array and your in fun land.
