Unlocked Pentium 20th Anniversary Edition, 8 Core i7 Extreme, and TIM-Fixed Pre-Broadwell i7

Great that finally Intel realized that their TIM wasn't that good and worked on it.

the fx 8 cores are 4 cores with 2 cores in each core (i think)

Wait I just realized Intels Xeon 6 and 12 cores. (Did they have 8 core)

Unlocked Pentium? Sweet, hopefully we some some crazy OCing on it

Not interested until we get benchmarks and we get a price point.

first 8-core desktop processor my ass, amd 8350.

False, it was the 8150.

I'm going to be SUPER pissed if they keep the 8-core exclusive to the extreme edition line for Broadwell-E.

 

Edit: Also people think the AMD 8000 series are real 8-core CPU's, that's cute.

as an AMD FX-8000 series owner, i kinda concur. it's more like a physical Hyper-Threading for integer-intensive applications.

 

but dat price/performance, though...

It really depends on what you consider a core. 

The 8150 was the first consumer "8 core" desktop CPU, but half of them don't have FPUs. Back when the 386 was around, no CPUs had  FPUs built in. Isn't the 386 a single core? or is it a half core?

just an arm or a leg

*limited time offer

Grab one before it will cost two arms!

This is what I am waiting for as well. I wanna see a G3220 riding at 4.8 GHz perfectly stable. Then see it run its paces in some the hottest games. If priced right these chips could screw AMD in the budget gaming market.

Reminds me of the times when a low budget CPU overclocked was as good as or better than a high end CPU at gaming. Used to be that you could have a Celeron and have an awesome gaming rig.
