AMD showed this unannounced system at FanCon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3jpG3rv4zI

it will be announced in the next week or so.

What they showed was the new Phenom Quad core CPUs, planted on a mobo with 4 PCI-E slots and the new chipset, and the mobo loaded with 4 new RV670 GPUs.

This is the fall lineup for AMD/ATI, called the Spider platform. AMD/ATI wouldn't tell us the real name for the RV670 GPU but we will find that out real soon now.

This hw was getting 12 FPS or so with pre-release drivers on both default scenery ( Friday Harbor, Courcheval ) and the OrbX 15cm/pixel custom textures ( Tasmania, Australia ). And it was pretty playable at that speed. Which should translate to close to 24 FPS with one monitor per graphics card.

They mentioned prices were something like $400US for the quad CPU, $200US for each GPU, and $150US for the 4-slot mobo. Not bad at all considering the heat and power is much better too.

The cost of the flat-screens will set you back, though. .

    Sorry Cartman to be the one to dissapoint you but penryn won't give you more fps, it's only 45nm C2D, nothing more. For us, FSX simmers, its time to wait for Nehalem, but i suppose untill then MS will release FS11 and Nehalem won't be enough for it. For me it's time to uninstall FSX and install FS2004 boy it run flawlessly on my rig. here is qx9650 tested in FSX with acceleration so for MS no excuses that it will go faster with newest addon http://www.simhq.com/_technology2/technology_115d.html

    @Cartman my fsx runs poor (6-12fps) and i dont set it to max, i would call it middle. traffic 75%. addons LDS 767, my traffic x, fs global 2008, active sky X and some aerosoft mega airport sceneries. i have the same addons for fs2004 and i runs 3x faster on my rig.

    I'm with Cartman.  My performance with an Intel6700 and a 8800GTX is like his and a Matrox TH2G.  Why on earth would I want to buy that AMD rig that would take me back to 6-12fps??  All I want now is constant fps to give me continuous smooth - that is the improvement I seek, and maybe pernryn and the next iteration of the 8800 cards might do it.  I don't need much more by way of fps, but I would like to see the fluctuations ironed out. However the various announcements would suggest that ACES has gone as far as it intends to go with FSX.  We must now wait for FS11 which will effectively be the next SP.
