Malo su velike cijene

Autor McG

Cijene su za kompletne konfiguracije.

Znači 8 jezgreni proc, oko 700 dolara?

[cccp]

To je cijena cijelog sistema ("System price"). Pretpostavljam da će se cijene formirati prema konkurenciji.
8 jezgreni Zamezi je vjerojatno konkurencija i7 2600, znači nekih 300 dolara (u "meriki"), ali o perfomansama se trenutno ne zna ništa tako da je sve to nagađanje na klimavim nogama.

[Ranma 1/2]

samo je pitanje šta njima ulazi u "system". ovako na prvu bi rekao proc+ploča jer sve ostalo varira. za 8-jezgri bi moglo biti potreno izdvojiti i do 4 hiljadarke. ploča i proc.

With the socket AM3+ platform, Asus wants to rally around its top motherboard brands, including Republic of Gamers (ROG), with the Asus Crosshair V Formula, and the The Ultimate Force (TUF) Sabertooth 990FX, for AMD's next top of the line 990FX chipset that is designed to run up to four discrete graphics cards. The 990FX Sabertooth keeps up with the color scheme of the other TUF-series members. It boasts of highly durable components. The AM3+ socket is powered by a 10-phase Digi+ VRM. It is wired to four DDR3 DIMM slots supporting dual-channel DDR3-1866 MHz memory, and connects to the 990FX chipset over a HyperTransport 3.1 link.

Expansion slots include four PCI-Express 2.0 x16 (configurable as x16/x4/x8/x8, x16/x4/x16/NC, depending on how they're populated); The electrical x4 slot is wired to the SB950 southbridge, and is placed there to hold PCI-Express SSDs. One each of PCI-E x1 and PCI make for the rest of the expansion. Storage connectivity includes six internal SATA 6 Gb/s ports supporting RAID, two internal SATA 3 Gb/s from a third-party controller, one power-eSATA/USB combo, and one normal eSATA on the rear panel. Other connectivity features include 8+2 channel HD audio driven by Realtek ALC892 with optical SPDIF output, one gigabit Ethernet connection, four USB 3.0 ports (two rear, two by header), a number of USB 2.0 ports, and Firewire. The 990FX supports a number of Asus-exclusive features including UEFI BIOS with EZMode, MemOK, Ceram!x heatsinks, etc.

Earlier referred to as "Big Bang Conqueror", MSI's next top-end AMD platform motherboard has emerged under its final name, 990FXA-GD80. The socket AM3+ motherboard that supports AMD's upcoming FX series processors, is based on the AMD 990FX + SB950 chipset. The CPU is powered by a 10-phase VRM that makes use of tantalum-core capacitors, and SFC chokes (that don't whine), driver-MOSFETs (DrMOS). Expansion slots include four PCI-Express 2.0 x16, supporting NVIDIA SLI and AMD CrossFireX; two PCI-E x1, and a PCI.

Storage is mostly care of the southbridge, all its six SATA 6 Gb/s ports are assigned as internal ports; a third-party SATA 3 Gb/s controller handles rear-panel eSATA. There are two USB 3.0 controllers, driving two ports on the rear panel, and two via an angled internal header. Other connectivity includes 8+2 channel HD audio with THX TruStudio Pro support, gigabit Ethernet, and FireWire. A number of MSI-exclusives are bundled, including MSI-designed graphical UEFI setup program (click BIOS), and OC Genie II that is overclocking with side-wheels. Expect the MSI 990FXA-GD80 to be out in mid-June, at a US $175~$250 price range.

Gigabyte GA-A75M-UD2H FM1 Llano APU

Let’s start with the GA-A75M-UD2H which some pictures have already leaked of via a Greek website. However, the board we’ve seen is quite different for whatever reason. For starters the slot layout differs, as the board we saw had two x16 PCI Express slot with the secondary slot having four lanes worth of bandwidth and two PCI slots. The earlier leak has a x1 PCI Express slot in lieu of one of the PCI slots. Our board appears to be an earlier revision and it didn’t have the final heatsink, but otherwise most of the on-board features are the same with five SATA 6Gbps ports, a USB 3.0 pin-header for two ports, two USB pin-headers for four ports, a FireWire pin-header and even a serial and parallel port pin-header. Around the back things are different, as the board we’ve seen had a PS/2 port, two USB 2.0 ports, four USB 3.0 ports (of which two are from an Etron host controller), an eSATA port, a FireWire port, a Gigabit Ethernet port, 7.1-channel audio with optical S/PDIF out and finally a D-Sub, DVI and HDMI port. The other board is only slightly different with the PS/2 port at the bottom of the stack with two USB 2.0 ports on top and the addition of a DisplayPort connector, something missing from the board we saw. We’re not sure which of the two models Gigabyte will actually be the final board that will launch, but it’s peculiar that there are two so similar models floating around.

Gigabyte GA-A75-UD4H FM1 Llano APU

As for the GA-A75-UD4H, well, the most interesting thing here is really the rear port layout, as this was the part that we couldn’t see on the previously leaked picture. The board is loaded out with a PS/2 port, four USB 3.0 ports (all via an Etron host conller), two USB 2.0 ports, a FireWire port, an eSATA port, a Gigabit Ethernet port, 7.1-channel audio with optical S/PDIF out and a full set if display connectivity option consisting of D-Sub, DVI, HDMI and a DisaplyPort connector. The board itself appear to be identical to the earlier leak as far as we can tell, so we suggest you head over and check out the earlier story for the breakdown on the rest of the features on this model. We’d expect some UD3 models from Gigabyte as well, although at least for the time being, we’re not expecting any higher-end models. Oh, about the blue PCB that should be black, we’ll, we’re still not sure why it’s blue, but it’s likely not something most people are going to be too upset by.

ASRock A75-Extreme6 FM1 Llano APU

The third-largest motherboard company released the first picture of its upcoming socket FM1 motherboard that supports AMD's upcoming performance A-series accelerated processing units. The ASRock A75 Extreme6 as it's called, is based on AMD's Hudson-D3 A75 single-chip chipset. With the northbridge component completely relocated to the APU die, what's left of the chipset is a little more than a southbridge. The 905-pin socket is significantly different from the 940-odd pin sockets from AMD in recent times, though its cooler retention brackets haven't essentially changed. So most AM3-supportive coolers should fit on FM1.

The FM1 socket is powered by a 10-phase VRM, it is wired to four DDR3 DIMM slots for dual-channel DDR3-1866 MHz memory support; and to two of the three PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots. The first two PCI-E x16 slots switch to electrical x8 when both are populated. The third slot is electrical x4, and wired to the chipset. Expect a big chop in CPU to discrete GPU latencies. Other slots include one PCI-E x1, and three PCI. Storage connectivity includes eight internal SATA 6 Gb/s ports, two eSATA, six USB 3.0 ports (four at rear-panel, two by header). Display connectivity (remember, on-chip power GPU is the key selling point of this platform), includes DVI, HDMI 1.4a, and D-Sub. Other connectivity features include 8+2 channel HD audio, gigabit Ethernet, and FireWire. Expect this board to be out in mid-June.

ASRock A75M-ITX FM1 Llano APU

The A75M-ITX is a rather basic board, but by no means featureless. As this is a mini-ITX board it only has a single x16 PCI Express, but at least ASRock decided to fit a pair of full-size DIMMs, albeit at a slightly unusual position on the board. There are only four SATA 6Gbps ports and two pin headers for four USB 2.0 ports on the board, not exactly a lot, but we'd expect this to be a very affordable board. Ok, so there's a x16 PCI Express slot as well, so it's not all doom and gloom. Things improve a bit once we have a look around the back as here we find a PS/2 port, four USB 3.0 ports two USB 2.0 ports, an eSATA port, a Gigabit Ethernet port, 7.1-channel audio with optical S/PDIF out and a D-sub and HDMI connector. We're really starting to wish that motherboard makers would give up on the D-sub connector, as it's simply just not needed any more and we'd much preferred a second digital display connector of some kind. Do note that the board supports HDMI 1.4a which means that it can handle high-resolution displays unlike older HDMI versions.

Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3 AM3+

Finally we have the 990XA-UD3 which is Gigabyte's 990X based board and as strange as it might seem, this model offers some advantages over the 990FXA-D3. For starters this is an Ultra Durable 3 board with an 8+2 PWM design. As the 990X chipset supports fewer PCI Express lanes we're looking at a total of three x16 PCI Express slots with the primary slot sharing bandwidth with the secondary slot in a dual x8 configuration and the third and final slot has four lanes worth of bandwidth. The board also has a pair of PCI Express x1 slots and two PCI slots.

Gigabyte GA-990FXA-D3 AM3+

Next up we have Gigabyte's budget 990FX board, the GA-990FXA-D3 and as the name gives away, this board relies on Gigabyte's older Ultra Durable 2 PCB design with a 4+1 phase PWM design. The slot layout is identical to that of the 990FXA-UD3 and so are most of the on-board features too, although the FireWire controller and the front USB 3.0 ports are missing. Around the back we're missing the eSATA and FireWire ports.

Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+

This time around we're looking at two more affordable 990FX models and one 990X board, so click on through for a closer look at the three new boards. So starting at the top and working our way down we have the GA-990FXA-UD3 which has a black PCB and looks rather smart for what should be a fairly affordable board in the grand scheme of things. We're looking at a slightly simpler slot layout compared to the 990FXA-UD5 with four x16 PCI Express slots arranged as two non-switchable x16 slots and two x4 slots. There is also a pair of x1 PCI Express slots and one PCI slot. The 990FXA-UD3 also has six SATA 6Gbps ports, pin headers for two USB 3.0 ports, six USB 2.0 ports, a FireWire port and a serial port. The board has an 8+2 PWM design, although this model is using standard MOSFETs rather than DrMOS.

Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 AM3+

Gigabyte has yet another motherboard to cater to fans of the AM3+ platform, the GA-990FXA-UD5. The UD5 features a more conventional-looking component layout, with the northbridge located where it usually is. You still get the 10-phase VRM from the UD7, the black Ultra Durable 3 PCB, but this board is designed for multi-GPU setups with up to 3 graphics cards: supporting 3-way SLi and CrossFireX. Expansion slots include five PCI-Express 2.0 x16, of which three (slots 1,3,5) are PCI-Express 2.0 wired to the AMD 990FX northbridge, with electrical configurations of x16/x16/NC or x16/x8/x8. Slots 2 and 4 are electrical x4, wired to the SB950 southbridge. Other slots include a PCI-E x1, and a legacy PCI. Storage connectivity is similar to that of the UD7, with eight SATA 6 Gb/s internal ports, a power-eSATA, and a normal eSATA. Other connectivity features include 8+2 channel HD audio driven by Realtek's ALC889A CODEC, FireWire, four USB 3.0 ports (two rear, two via header), a single gigabit Ethernet, and a number of USB 2.0 ports. Like most new Gigabyte boards, the UD5 features dual-BIOS with EFI-like extensions that let it boot from volumes greater than 2.2 TB in size. The GA-990FXA-UD5 from Gigabyte should target a market sweetspot price in the performance category of motherboards.

Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7 AM3+

Gigabyte's GA-990FXA-UD7 is one of the more impressive boards we've seen so far, but it's not very likely to be the last new AMD motherboard to show up before Computex which is now barely a week away. It's very clear that this is a UD7 board as the chipset and PWM heatsinks are all carrying the “gold” trim that we first saw on Gigabyte's P67A-UD7. The 990FX chipset itself is located in-between the PWM and the top PCI Express slot, but even so there are no comprises being made in terms of slot count, unlike Asus' TUF Sabertooth 990FX. The board sports an 8+2 PWM design us driver MOSFETs.

The slot layout is very unusual to say the least as the board has six 16 PCI Express slots and a single PCI slot. The x16 slots are configured in an unusual way as well, as the first slot is a x16 that should be shared with the third slot which is a x8, but the second slot is x4. The fourth slot is also a x4 slot with the fifth being a x16, then the PCI slot and finally another x8 slot. We're not exactly sure how the slots are wired and we'd need a manual to figure it out properly. In related news, we managed to dig up some pricing thanks to a Swedish online retailer that's already listing the 990FXA-UD7, as well as the 990FXA-UD5 and 990FXA-UD3, although sadly not specs so far. The 990FXA-UD7 is priced at 1990 SEK (S$390) which co-incidentally is what MSI's 990FXA-GD80 is listed for in the same shop. Do keep in mind that this includes 25 percent VAT, as the sales tax in Sweden is quite high. The 990FXA-UD5 is listed at 1590 SEK (S$312) and finally the 990FXA-UD3 comes in at 1190 SEK (S$234).

Asus ROG Crosshair V Formula AM3+

The Crosshair V Formula is a socket AM3+ motherboard based on AMD 990FX + SB950 chipset, supporting AMD's upcoming FX-series processors based on the Bulldozer architecture. It combines the best features Asus has to offer, targeting both gamers and overclockers. The AM3+ socket is powered by a strong 10-phase Digi+ Extreme Engine VRM, it supports dual-channel DDR3 memory with speeds of over DDR3-2133 MHz. Expansion slots include four PCI-Express 2.0 x16, which configure as x16/x16/NC or x16/x8/x8, with the fourth slot being electrical x4, wired to the southbridge. nVidia 3-way SLi and AMD CrossFireX are supported. Storage connectivity includes 7 internal SATA 6 Gb/s ports, and 1 power-eSATA. In case you opted for the non-Thunderbolt card variant or don't have room left to install it, there's onboard 8-channel SupremeFX X-Fi MB audio. There's one gigabit Ethernet port, controlled by Intel-made GbE controller. There are six USB 3.0 ports in all, of which two are by header. A plethora of Asus ROG-exclusive features like ROG UEFI, ROG Connect with GPU Tweakit, CPU ExtremeTweaker, CPU LevelUp, MemOK, GameFirst, TurboV EVO, and component overheat protection can be found.

ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Professional AM3+

AMD originally wanted to launch Bulldozer at Computex but performance issues with its B0 and B1 stepping chips pushed back the launch. Now we're looking at a late July launch with B2 silicon, but performance today is a big unknown. Apparently the performance of B1 stepping silicon doesn't look too good. Bulldozer will be mechanically compatible with Socket-AM3 motherboards but AMD will only officially support the CPU on AM3+ motherboards. To differentiate AM3+ from AM3 motherboards AMD is releasing a new chipset: the 9-series. Functionally the 9-series chipset is no different from the 8-series that it replaces; it'll simply be used on AM3+ boards exclusively. Obviously a very high end motherboard, ASRock included two front panel USB 3.0 headers on its 990FX board. There are also three PCIe x16 slots and six 6Gbps SATA ports driven off of the 990FX chipset itself.

Hoće li biti 990gx chipseta, ili 990fx u mATX formatu? Ima li tko kakav info?

[McG]

990GX teško, jer dosad nije bilo govora o takvom čipsetu, pošto imaju Llano, a 990FX na mATX ploči ovisi o proizvođačima.

[/\ŁF]

Jel isplivala u zadnje vrijeme kakva info o nadolazecim bulldozerima? AMD jos nije nikakvu sluzbenu informaciju dao?

[McG]

Zadnja je od Computex konferencije i nakon toga zatišje.

[/\ŁF]

A sluzbeno predstavljanje bi trebalo biti krajem ovog mjeseca? Ili sam krivo informiran?
