What is it and how fast compared to say an... fx 57. I am not talking about 1 chip vs 8, but one on one. And don't tell me to google it, if i could find it on google i wouldn't be asking here. Thanks.
 
I am pretty sure the Opteron 180 and the FX-57 (60?) are the chip, just the opteron is subject to more stringent quality controls and therefore overclocks better.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong people. I know you kind folks will. :roll:
 
The FX-57 is single core and has a 2.8GHz core clock.

The Fastest single core Opteron 939 is the 154 @ 2.8GHz core clock

The fastest Dual Core Opteron 939 is the 180 @2.4GHz core clock.

The Opteron is a better CPU at the same core clock.
 
You are basically saying that the opteron 800 series is the fastest, uuuum...
NO. Correct me if i am wrong but 800 just means that it will work together with 7 other chips on a mobo.
 
Isn't the fx series better ? Ie is an fx-57 faster than a 152

The FX-57 runs at 2.8GHz core clock

The Opteron 152 runs at 2.6GHz core clock

The FX-57 is probably a bit faster.

The Opteron 154 runs at 2.8GHz core clock and should be about as fast or slightly faster than the FX-57.

Both the FX-57 and the Opteron series are very high quality parts but the Opteron may be marginally better. Both are rumored to OC well.
 
I believe the opty and the fx-57 might be the same depending what you are running but the fx-60 would defintly be faster and it runs quite coll which means good oveclocking
 
The FX-60 is 2x2600GHx, which beats the FX-57 at 1x2.8GHz in all multi-threaded apps, and the single thread apps, does pretty well too.

The Opteron 180 at 2x2.4GHz can easily be overclocked to FX-60 speeds, which is only a scant 8% of a overclock needed, which means that 99% of Opteron 180's will overclock beyond a stock FX-60, and costs $300 less.

So, the Opteron 180 is the ultimate in high end chips if you want the very top speeds without overclocking much at all.
 
Rich, i thought that you knew that i knew about the difference between single and dual. I just knew amost nothing about opterons, thanks for the info.
 
It seems the Opteron 180 is the fasted PC CPU period. (or at least very near the top)
correct?
I just hope my PC lasts until the quad-cores come out early next year. (not this 2 old cores on 1 die stuff)
Then I need new everything.
 
The opteron 180 is no longer the fastest look what I found for sale today:

Ok is says in stock and on order but at least we know the 185 is coming to 939.

Any one know the specs of it?

Im guessing its a x13 multiplier so 2.6ghz

Now the fx-60 in the UK is £800 so the 185 will be £100 more for almost the same chip plus the multiplier will be locked.

It looks like it's backordered. :-|
 
Wow, I thought the 1xx series opterons are being transitioned to Socket M2 and positioned as entry level 1P server/workstation procs and AMD will be positioning the X2's as the upper-end consumer processors and the A64s will be mainstream. This is the reason that X2's are now cheaper than equivalant Opterons. 2 months back I got my Opteron 175 for $459, now it is well over $500

The 2xx and 8xx series Opterons will be moving to Socket F in Q2.

The Opteron 185 is coming soon around the time of the complete transition to M2.
This will be an M2 part only.

The Opteron 165 is NOT BEING discontinued.
