- I can't wait.
Should be killer on a board with Dual PCI express 16 Graphics cards and DDR2 memory.

- Seems like AMD raised the bar again.
Sorry intel -

- Intel is going down! Looks like one of these chips will be my longhorn cpu. I'll wait till around 3rd quarter of 2005 to buy. Let the prices drop.

- Um Intel is also planning dual core...

- Intel's duel core Pentium M based on the Conroe core looks like it will provide quite the competitive solution.
AMD fanboys.

- Now the question is, will these work with XP Home, since Home isn't supposed to have multiprocessor support? Or will the OS just consider this to be one processor?
Winchester, the Athlon 64 939 pin 512K chip at 90 nanometres will ship in the second half of this year. So to reprise, in Q2 05 we'll see the FX57, which follows the FX55, which in turn is the successor to the FX53. The FX55 is slated to emerge around Q4 of this year. AMD will continue to position the FX* family against Intel's Extreme Edition - so price changes will probably march in step.
Whats New:
Localized versions for French, German and Japanese
Bi-directional coding using an adaptive method
Fully adaptive multiple consecutive B-frames
MPEG-2/H.263 quantization choice
Built-in bitrate calculator
Update checking tool
Automatic update notification for the DivX encoder
Fast mode, revamped for better performance, compression and quality
Feedback mode which is now multithreaded, taking advantage of HyperThreaded or dual CPU for better efficiency
3 point GMC support in the DivX decoder
Changed:
"Slowest" mode removed as the quality differential with "Slow" mode was insignificant, yet the performance differential was massive
DivX Pro Adware bundle replaced by DivX Pro 6-month free trial
Improved:
Smooth playback supporting multiple consecutive B-frames
Quantizer, now using quant scale in video packets
Fixed (Encoder):
A rare issue where rate control sometimes inserted Q=31 frames in video combining low light conditions, high bitrate and specific motion patterns
Fastest mode to respect the user-specified average bitrate (Old "Fastest" behavior can be obtained by disabling profiles and performing 1-Pass, Quality-based encoding with Q=3)
Fixed (Decoder):
A crash occurring in some rare cases with clips that have dimensions divisible only by 2 and use YUY2 color mode
Black screen when decoding old buggy MPEG-4 clips that lack VOL header
Internal flush operation with "Smooth playback" feature
Intra inverse quantization (type 1)
Support for generic MPEG-4 (XVID and 3ivX)
Data partitioning clip
Deblocking to no longer cause solid blocks to appear during playback
DivX decoder to always play DivX video
