AMD attacks Intel

Xerish · 08-07-2008, 09:29 AM

AMD Phenom X4 9950 BLack edition has recently hit shelves. At 2.66 gigs per core here are the specs.

Processors Type: Desktop
Series: Phenom X4
Hyper Transports: 4000MHz
L1 Cache: 4 x 128KB
L2 Cache: 4 x 512KB
L3 Cache: 2MB
Manufacturing Tech: 65 nm
64 bit Support: Yes
The attached actually shows it beating out the CORE 2 EXTREME QX....

SOme of the higher resolutions the Extreme beats out the Phenom slightly... but throught the boad it is give and take between the two. At $235 bucks it is cheaper than the Core2 Quad 6700 and MUCH cheaper than the Core2 EXtreme...

It is about damn time AMD

And where is the much better performing much cheaper E8400?

AMD is catching up to Intel's current generation but all signs show Nehalem making even Intel's current CPUs look like crap.

nehalems initial success lies in the overclocking potential of its architecture for now

and grats amd

Sorry but showing us Benchmarks of Games with a Quad PC proofs nothing, especially since nobody will play on 800x600 (when he use a quadcore lols).

Well this is AMD's "last stand" against the Core2 cpus. The new AMD generation CPUs are rumored to be announced late this year and launched early 09. They are based on the PS3 Cell architecture, well at least that is what they hinted at. Codename "Bulldozer"

Same goes for the AMD Phenom X4 9950 Black edition, it comes with a open multiplikator.

Btw here is a good Benchmark test.

That makes no sense.

Diablo · 08-07-2008, 10:33 AM

Ariel · 08-07-2008, 10:36 AM

Gl with that..........

Caedes · 08-07-2008, 10:37 AM

Yeah but saying something like, "if you buy a Mercedes SLR and morph it with a Ferrari, you probably get a Spaceship" is unbelievable.

Ariel · 08-07-2008, 10:39 AM

No put jet fuel in a car and it will fly.

Diablo · 08-07-2008, 10:49 AM

And it will never start.

Ariel · 08-07-2008, 10:54 AM

Eat a granade see how long you live????

Until the lever is released for a timed grenade and until an impact for an impact one.
