Is it coming soon or what?

Do you think waiting to buy my A64 3000+ until after this release will get me a cheaper price? Or do you think the new chips will be priced accordingly, much higher, and keep these lower ones the same price? Much like the FX-53 or FX-55 being released at its high price has no effect on the lower A64s.

Erm, a good deal of all the information in that site is incorrect. Many of the things which are listed there have not been launched and won't be launched. Dates are wrong. Many things just don't match up-to-date roadmaps from both AMD and Intel.

This roadmap was mostly written with information that is too old and too optimistic. A64 4000+ and FX-55 will be 130nm parts, not 90nm parts - this is new information that has, for instance, not been added.

I could point to many more mistakes...

current info says that the ahtlon 4000+ and fx 55 will debut around mid october, perhaps the 20th. they will both be on 130nm though. incidently, this is around the time the nforce 4 is suppose to debut as well, so we will see.

That site is hilarious.

Shame it doesn't have a forum, or else I'd jump this sinking ship in a nano-second (joke)

Is the core on the current 939 90nm chips Newcastle then? I was looking at buying a 3500 and there were two variations listed, one regular 939 and one 939 on 90nm process.

According to what I just read on Anandtech, the 90nm 939 cores are Winchester, the 130nm cores are Newcastle. From what I could glean from the article, since they didn't say, is that Winchester is just a die shrink from the Newcastle at 130nm. Certain things had to be rearranged because of the 90nm process, but it's not a completely redesigned core.
