Don't you think it's silly that the older AMD dual cores are outperforming the new AMD Quad core? And of course that means that the Core 2 Duos/Quads are still on top.
The Phenom may be cheaper, but come on AMD, get with the program! ![]() ![]() Full Article: http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/11/...eaves_its_web/

It's not only that, they are now saying the errata bug is more serious that previously thought, so they are ordering a stop ship on all K10 cpus.

Not even significantly faster than my S939 Athlon X2.. well done on that one, AMD.

God I remember ages ago, AMD were the kings! I thought I would never go back to intel, but the core2's certainly shat on AMDs parade!

I loved the S939 CPU's, they had great overclocking potential and the pricing was good as well. Unfortunately the same can't be said about the AMD chips of today. Maybe i'll have to go Intel for my next computer.....

Why does AMD even release CPUs like that? Where they hoping no one would notice?

They have to release them, because it's already been delayed a few times, and they probably wanted to release higher clocked version, but the TLB errata bug prevented that.

Such a pity that AMD is falling behind. I bought my AMD FX-51 system back in '04 and it was top 3 for a good year or so, (even made AMD_FX51 as my forum name over at pcper.com
). But even I had to give up and switch over to Intel (X6800), and I'm happy I did. Looks like it's staying up top, even with the newer Quads and E series chips out.Though the pricing definately favors AMD at the moment.

X2 4000+ (Brisbane) - $58 The 4000+ is faster in most benchmarks. AMD doesn't have anything to compete with in the mid to high end, which is a shame, but at least they're still a reasonable choice in the low end.

with an aftermarket fan and a descent mobo, 400 FSB will destory all low/mid end AMD cpus. and the new celeron is gonna get duo core as well, which will make AMD look silly in the low end market as well. 70 bucks for a core 2 is just bang for the buck, pay 70 bucks and you get like 200 bucks performance. as for the non overclockers, yeah.. AMD is cheaper and faster to run, but 80% of the ppl who buy an E2xxx or E4xxx end up overclocking, and its not that hard, as long as you have a descent mobo to play around with.

And in an effort to wring this back on topic, the Phenom doesn't look very impressive at the moment, but I still really hope they can ramp up the speeds soon to give Intel more competition in the mid to high end. I want the 3.0 GHz core 2 quads to come down to $250, dangit!

E2xxx or E4xxx will do just fine, and you dont need top of the range mobo/ram to get the best result, there is no need to push to the cpu to the limit. it is that easy to overclock a dual core, which makes a quad core kind of pointless.... unless you are after the ultimate. E2xxx will be enough to run just about everything without much lag.

Did a search and found this thread, just wanted to update on their latest Phenom Processors. Looks like they share the same name with the new Merc-CLK

It means the 9950BE will have unlocked multiplier. AMD is going to release SB750, which is supposed to somehow allow better overclocking. AMD claims with their AOD software and SB750, 3.2ghz is very easy to achieve. I'm not sure how true it is though, because as of right now, people are only hitting around 2.8-3.0ghz stable. There are a few people who hit over 3.5ghz, but it's only for a screenshot, not even benchable.

Holy cr@p! I must be outta it today, I have no idea what anything means, too much boobies in my head I guess
So the new chip allows better overclocking? But if I get it stock will it be overclocked as well? If I don't want to overclock, should I get the Intel Q9450 instead, since it seems both are running at 2.6GHz? |
