"Rewriting the rules for enthusiast computing, AMD unveiled its new platform codenamed 'Spider', with the first true quad-core processor supporting scalable graphics for The Ultimate Visual Experience. The AMD Spider platform combines the introduction of AMD Phenom quad-core processors, ATI Radeon HD 3800 Series graphics processors with Microsoft DirectX 10.1 support, AMD 7-Series chipsets with CrossFireX and AMD OverDrive software. The AMD Spider platform is a major milestone on the path to Accelerated Computing, AMD's vision for platform-level acceleration through co-processing."

The upcoming expansion for Doom: The Dark Ages is "like a sequel", according to game director Hugo Martin.
Hogwarts Legacy 2 will arrive no earlier than 2027, as Warner Bros plans major franchise returns between 2027 and 2028.
Thats ok ! Take Your time and make it gooood.
Playing the first one these days, and got a long way to go before finishing. Awesome game! Gonna 100% it.
Friendship comes in all forms in this latest addictive multiplayer magic-wielding game
Quad GPU's pretty frigan spiffy. Spider sounds nasty too. It makes me wonder what game will promote this product.
I had a couple of 8800 gts in sli and decided to put 1 in my girls pc since for anything out now even crysis the 1 8800 gts was more then enough.
I sincerely hope that this set kicks Intel's A$$
theres no way this could dethrone the quad core2duo extreme setups.
first off in this spider setup, the phenom is a major bottleneck.
so yeah youll have massive gpu processing but the phenom is trash in comparison to a c2dextreme. Most reviews call the phenom's a complete failure in regaining the market.
the quad gpu is nice for amd/ ati. Its just not enough when intel and nvidia are sure likely to come out with their own quad gpu soon with a more capable cpu and gpu available.
i would personally get quad 9800ultras with a 45nm c2dextreme and hopefully 8 gigs of ram(depending on mb) as soon as its available.
As of right now, ati/amd cannot compete with intel/nvidia.
Good old days. If they don't do something soon, it's all over boys. I'd hate to see AMD out of the picture but it looks like they are going the way of VIA.
..........and pay more than 2k for a new cpu.
i would hate that too. it wouldnt be allowed though.
at least not for long, remember when ms was creating a monopoly? they got fined up the a$$ and the monopoly was mandated to be broken.
its tough to tell what will happen though.
im interested to see if amd and ati can bounce back. it seems as like since they joined forces, their technical achievements/performance goals have been lost in the process.
