Yes, folks, our friends at the Egg have established themesleves as THE Phenom retailer. Included in their portfolio:

9950 Retail and OEM
9850 Retail and OEM
9150e -$179 65W
9650 - Retail and OEM
9550 - Retail
9600B - OEM
9750 - Retail and OEM


The only thing missing at this point is the 9350e. It looks like AMD is ramping K10 finally as the 13xx series showed up last week. Now all they need is to get Alienware to release a true Spider platform with 790GX and water cooled Phenoms plus 2x4870X2s.

Now that would be a high-end system. Phenom should get to 3.4GHz on water with SB750. Of course, I would want to let Vista turn it down so that I don't single-handedly overload my apartment's wiring.

J\K. It wouldn't be that bad, but it would be kind of hungry. But considering that I may have 2-3 hours per week for gaming, the chip would NEVER be under full load.

So... when ya gonna get a water cooler phenom spider system?

Wouldn't the CPU bottleneck two 4870X2's? Big AMD fan here, but I don't know if that is the CPU I would use for those powerful cards. I could be completely wrong though....

I also don't know that 3.4 is right.
They are getting 3.3~3.5 on air with the new deneb core.
With water cooling, I would think you could push more than just 3.4.

LMAO, no, at 3.4Ghz, a Phenom is not going to bottleneck anything.

Title is wrong. Should read AMD is finally shipping Phenoms to retail sellers!.

Or

AMD ships all of its working Phenoms to Newegg?

Newegg did not go Phenom Crazy.... They just sell what the distributors or manufactures send them.

Newegg went HD4850 Crazy or Newegg went Floppy drive Crazy, they have more then one listed......

A quick Google for 9850 overclock will show that at 3.2GHz\2.4L3, the Phenom is neck and neck with Penryn in CineBench. It was always said that Phenom doesn't shine until 2.6GHz+. Some guy at xtremesystems did it. If you have two 4870X2's you are playing at 2560 (unless you're crazy) so the GPU is taking the brunt of the work. Even mighty Penryn needs fast GPUs for high res gaming.


A couple of weeks ago some guy tested quad SLI with 9850 and a 9770. The difference was minimal at high res. I'll see if I can find the link.

As soon as I get around to it. My 4400+ is still churnign out the frames, code and VMs, so no rush. I'm definitely waiting for 790GX. I'm thinking about buying a BluRay for it and pumping out to the TV. Hopefully, plugging in the discrete card doesn't turn off the ports.

I guess putting systems together isn't as much fun as it used to be.

No. The title is correct. They have had Phenom since the B2 stepping. I guess you can't take a joke. I was just shocked when I saw all of them finally. The 9650 was MIA for months.

i want to see 9150e overclock with new chipset
amd + ati for life

Baron,

Talk about being MIA for months.

I wonder what's behind the Phenom 9950BE HD995ZFAJ4BGH oem for $290?

If yall put up the money I'll find out

Any indication/speculation as to when retailers will have 790GX mobos?

What can I say. Things were getting crazy.

Last I heard they should show up at the end of the month. Anand did a test with a Foxconn and Fudzilla showed pics of another one.
