Aegis Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 THE LAUNCH of Opterons for Socket 939 was obviously just a smoke in the mirror. The complete stock of Opterons model number 14x and 16x (dual-core) dissapeared from e-tailers and retailers, with hundreds of overclockers buying even six or eight CPU's at the same time. Reason: Opteron, a 1MB L2 cache processor was priced lower than Athlon 64 models with 512KB of L2 cache. Also, those Opteron babies were bad-boys when it comes to cooling, working at 2.7-2.9 GHz with air-cooling - at zero problems, with a lower operating temperature than default-clocked Pentium D 840.Source: http://theinquirer.net/?article=28250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suryad Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Haha nice. Too bad I didnt get around to getting my hands on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfm Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I had one, 0540 stepping, it was second of best ocers. Ran 3030Mhz completely stable, that's more than unrealesed fx-59 by 30Mhz + had memory running at ddr606 with VERY TIGHT tmings (Did Super PI 1M calc very close to 26sec.) I managed to take suicide screen at 3300MHz and ran many benchmarks ot 3150Mhz. I was so ready to put that cpu under dry ice at -79C. Hell, cpu died week ago, R.I.P AMD is p***in me off, they don't want sell good stuff, they'll probably be crying when iintel will release 65mn cpus and yohans cpu with shorter pipelines that will have potential and amd will be still stuck with dell crap and not wanting to ship reasonable amounts of cpus to retailers.

ripken204 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 i love my 170, 2.6ghz is so sweet dual core, i can get it to 2.7 stable but then the heat issue comes into place, im sure i can get it to 2.8 but then i need a bunch of voltage.

D22 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 (edited) damnit and I was saving up for a socket 939 CABYNE opteron,..looks like I won't be getting one anymore they need to stop jerking the market around like this or pretty soon the market will jerk back.-D- Edited December 11, 2005 by D22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPower Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I'm stuck on the old generation barton core so I can't even enjoy this, but I must say I would have gotten one if I had been in any position to upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suryad Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 You guys need to chill. There are going to be some great products coming from AMD and they have to make money dont they? They need to launch more expensive stuff which is quite fine by me. You have to understnad they are not in the market for pleasing people by selling parts that oclock like crazy for cheap...
