Russ said:The first guy was right. It's not like this means there will be uber quad core processors released on 754 now that it's "outlasting" 939. Every GOOD processor released will be AM2.
It's not like this news made all 939 procs suddenly perform worse than the 754s. Kinda funny that the socket will be in production, yet will have worse performance than some processors made for the extinct 939 socket....
Nuc_E said:I never said anything about "uber quad core" processors or anything like that. We all know that 754 has been relegated to the budget segment. We were just having a bit of fun whooping it up.
He just seemed a little too worked up over it. As do you.
BigTaf said:uh when was the last performance S754 chip released?
S754 has been dead for awhile, just rather than retiring it
Dont forget the mobile s754 chips, if you have a motherboard that can take one they can be overclocked like mad with a bump in voltage.robberbaron said:A couple months ago, the 4000+. 2.6ghz and 1mb cache. Or is 2.6ghz/1mb cache not considered performance class?

Most people are like you - they jumped on the s939 bandwagon, left s754 for dead and never looked back to see if it was dead or alive. It may surprise you to learn a few facts that you have obviously missed.uh when was the last performance S754 chip released?
S754 has been dead for awhile, just rather than retiring it, they used it as a budget platform. To all those holding onto your S754 because of the upgrade path, I wish you the best of luck.
but when you consider that it has the same specs, minus a single memory channel, as the FX-55, it's a steal reallyBigMacAttack said:The 4000+ is $310 at Newegg. Yeah, its a bit pricey but that's an upgrade if ever there was one.

BigMacAttack said:From some reports I've heard it is capable of 3.2ghz on air - that's what I call a "performance" chip.

Jason711 said:the only true advantage 939 ever had was dual core.
Ockie said:The part that scares me the most is how my 2800 S754 Sempron can do the same basic functions as my 939 FX60 and do them just as good. Sure when I'm ripping high content or doing tons of diffrent intensive tasks I will then feel the diffrence... however if I was going to be using it as a computer, there isn't much diffrent.
Kinda scary, the industry is moving, but not "moving"
The S754 to the S939 was a joke IMO, I remember jumping from a 3400 S754 A64 to a 3500 S939 A64 and there was absolutley no diffrence. I miss the leaps we used to have (going from a P2 to P3, going from K62 to a Thunderbird)
Jason711 said:i wonder, how far they will go with the venice 754.
Welcome to the forums. I kind of doubt they'll go 65 nm on skt 754 since EOL (end of life) is Q4 2007. They'll just keep it around mainly because Semprons sell well and its a cash cow at that price point. Plus its easier to keep Sempron on the skt754 platform rather than migrate it to skt 939 IMO.cougar618 said:Anyone think that maybe they might use it for their geode processors...? like the socket A? I bet they will go after Via with this platform in the mini-itx market, seeing that venice core 754's run cool (except for mine at for some reason ), and a 65 nm switch could mean fanless processors. Plus intergreated memory controller.
Just my $0.02, and first post.
