NVIDIA nForce2 Engineered to Deliver Outstanding Performance for New AMD Athlon CPUs is one of several press releases out this morning, as AMD announces their XP2800 and XP2700 CPUs (with 333mhz FSB) at the same time as NVidia announces the nForce2 motherboard. Reviews of new XP running on the nForce2 are up at HardOCP, AMD Zone, Tech Report, Aces Hardware. Various other sites have also taken a look at the new AMD CPUs though not always in combination with the nForce2: Deviant PC, HardcoreWare, Bjorn3D, The Tech Zone, AnandTech (and his nForce2 performance article).

I'm a thinking after I finish my p4 project, one of these chips and one of those motherboards with one of the nvidia's chipsets will be my next project and gaming machine. That's just what I'm thinking.

Anyone else find these "paper launches" depressing? I mean, if both the nforce 2
and the xp 2800+ were to go on sale next week AMD and Nvidia would sell shitloads of them. I would be the first one at the store to pick mine up. But AMD is having production problems, and the nforce is buggy as hell with its 2 NICs built in. AMD has really dropped the ball lately, and the way its going I doubt they're going to be around as a company to catch up.

It doesnt seem like they beat intel just yet. The product is announced, but we cant get our grubby little hands on it. Plus it's priced pretty high, and when it does actually get in teh consumers hands, the p4 2.8 will be just as cheap or even cheaper, and to add to that the 3 ghz will be out also.

The 2800 would be faptastic if you didnt have to wait until Christmas (or later) to get one. :/ By that time we'll be drooling over 3ghz parts.

Now this demands wood, finally after 2.5-3 years I will upgrade...this is the one I've been holding out for....Nforce2 GT...yeah, on board 'MX' video but hey....I will be holding off for NV30 this winter...

I have had my share of ATI for a while. I've been with them since my 1st PC all the way through to now and well it's time for a change. The years of awful drivers have had their effect on me. I don't care that they are not getting on the ball (more power to 'em tho), Nvidia has got my vote, besides I'm sure NV30 would be more at home on an Nforce2 than an R300. =)

These really aren't reviews, these are more like performance previews because no one really knows when this will be released.

That said, these scores are mighty impressive O_O
