Dear Charlie,
Luv yer articles, luv yer Inqlish, but in the name of preserving the King's English:

It's not it's, it's its.

While no AM3 mobo is required for these new chips, Gigabyte has had them available for purchase since last week.

There is certainly no need to rush to expensive DDR3 when DDR2 offers the same performs within ~5% for a whole lot less.

My Gigabyte 790FX UD5P AM3 mobo, that I ordered over the weekend at a popular etailer, has already shipped and is scheduled for delivery tomorrow? AM3 boards are most definitely out, just not a whole bunch of them. The etailer I ordered has both Gigabyte and Asus AM3 mobos in stock and ready to ship. Several folks on forums that I frequent have already received theirs.

AMD getting more competitive is great news, speed increase is making a change to AM3 a tempting proposition. Will AMD release any of these as 939 pin layouts? I'd like to upgrade a few computers if they do.

"That brings us back to the lack of AM3 boards, and why AMD would launch without them? When asked, several AMDers all said the same thing, basically because they could. There is no down-side to the new chips when using DDR2, and you can move to DDR3 whenever you want."

Subtle wording change needed... there is no downside to AMD, however there partners get screwed as there is a percentage of the population who buy these chips will never look at an AM3 board or DDR3. And I'm not just talking upgrades either. People wanting to buy an AM3 processor based computer today HAVE to buy one with an AM2+ board and DDR2... and the AM2+ boards do not have all of the features/capabilities that AM3 does. So sure you can move to AM3 or DDR3, that just means you buy things twice; instead of buying what ypu wanted when the chip launches.

It's about time and why do I support AMD over Intel? Because AMD is such a small company compared to intel and they shouldn't even be in this race.
I will continue to support AMD no matter what....

And all this time I thought this was a review for AMD.

CHARLiE is Intel Inside!

Despite the nonebashing tone to this article, it implies one thing...

Charlie is hell bent on bashing nvidia.

As presented by http://news-amd.de/ ... Strange ... I thought AMD could really squeeze some small quantities of cherry picked chips to introduce some 3,8 GHz versions in the Back To Scholl period and a 4 GHz one for the Winter Holydays . It's perfectly achievable considering the fact that the chips are so overlookable on air and it would do wonders for the company's image.

What is Effect of Triple Channel & NT6? Thats Question I havn't seen explained. Can AM3 go Triple (isn't that point of DDR3) or Have ANY Triple Channel AM3 Mains Appeared?Next: Arn't Commentos ALL Happy this Mourning, Hummmm, Guess NOT.

November 2002: 3.06 GHz Pentium 4

Does it feel like we're regressing a little to anyone?

I mean, I look at my 939 3800 x2 and think, hmm... how much faster can these new chips really be if mine's happy at 2.5ghz?

This is probably THE best value chip I've ever had! It's nearly time for its 4th birthday and I dont care about upgrading!

up to 3.4Ghz in Q3 with current stepping
up to 3.6Ghz in Q4 (new stepping)

Charlie isn't anti-NV as he often makes very positive reviews on their products. He only bashes NV where they do stupid things, and that isn't uncommon.

I just wish he would also do cvxcvxvx bashing.

The biggest problem is people like you "Oh Charlie did this... blah blah blah"

Shut up whining, read it or leave it.

But Charlie's a star! Everyone loves him.

Anyway is goblin bashing good or bad then? Is it something like bishop bashing?

Those CPUs seem nice enough and broadens AMDs portfolio to be more competitive. And cvcxvx, nobody cares wether you hate Charlie or not. You are just a sad nvidia obsessed lunatic and propably working for them. I personally hope DAAMIT crushes the nvidia-Intel front because I have symphaties for smaller companies.
