lol nice, but $2649 for 1 cpu? ouch :shock:
-dave
Yes…but why buy just one… 
yeah i saw that price. I chocked it up to being first run price gouging…but that price seems excessive even then…
Yea I would have expected that from Intel but not AMD 
-dave
whooo hoooo!!! i knew my boys would be back.
It seems to me that finally processors are getting a big jump in speed starting in the last year or so after a major slow down before that. I guess now the cost of that is price. I am also wondering if we are having a bit of “premature” release.
wouldn’t this take care of the premature release problem
hahaha the return of the vraygra
lol.
Give it a year and watch the prices tumble.
a year? try 3 to 6 months. in a year the quads will be out 
-dave
possibly they might put in some late nights and hit us with quads earlier hehhe.
i believe i just heard a collective groan on the wind. if i calculate the wind speed and direction and the exact time this press release was made i figure it came from the general vacinity of the intel headquarters. or it might have been from people who have indigestion from the McDonalds down the road from intels office.
Intel quad cores will be out first 
and AMDs will be out better hehe
I just hope we will see a rise in Dedicated Hardware Acceleration..
Eg ARTVPS etc.
Would be nice to have a node that processes Irr maps with the strength of 20 computers individually. OR even one that does final calculations.
I think this is the future anyway.. eg. the latest is a dedicated physics card for games.
No matter how much you try you cannot stay on top.
Its all mxr’s fault anyway ;D
As a side note: now that Amd bought ATI, I believe there will be a few integrated designs where you buy a motherboard,CPU and gfx card in the one package.
Anyway who knows.. the industry is always full of surprises.

AMD has some serious work ahead of them with ATI. I am really liking the latest NForce motherboards (minus the Nforce Network Firewalls.) As for ARTVps, a few people here had used their renderdrives and didn’t have much to say about them - especially considering their pricetags.
I just hope we will see a rise in Dedicated Hardware Acceleration..
Eg ARTVPS etc.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Well, on the other hand, do have a few to sel you if you want some :lol: :lol:
I have to agree with thablanch, I dont like the idea of being tied to a specific piece of hardware…
