AMD expresses itself with colour?

Taking primary colours into overdrive!

Paintbrushes have been busy recently if some of the artwork below, goes forth to spread the name of AMD's FX processor family.

Currently lovingly known by the codename "Zambezi", the Bulldozer-architecture powered desktop CPUs will no doubt be attempting to clear the Sandy Bridge and are rumoured to appear during the latter part of Q2.

It would seem that AMD is experimenting with a vortex of colour to capture attention as we see claimed packaging options, for 8-Core and 4-Core SKUs, all listed as part of the Black Edition line-up. There's no sneak-peak for the 6-Core offerings however, and the conceptual status of these images is unknown.

On the text side of the equation, we see mention of AMD's Turbo CORE Technology 2.0 and of course, a nod towards 8-Core supremacy.

Nevertheless, the liberal splashing of colour certainly makes the easel look good from here so we'll be interested to see which path AMD goes down, as the launch timeframe draws nearer.

They look very nice but at the end of the day it's just a box. Also I think most people who buys these CPU's will save a few quid and just get the OEM versions without any of the extravagant packaging.

The extra warranty on the CPU's (3 years vs 1) sometimes makes that extra packaging worth it :) When I built an Intel i3 for my parents, the stock Intel cooler was also fine for them and worth the few quid extra over the OEM cpu-only.
