yeah ...nice tactik from AMD being 1st mover to compete with intel

How much mutiplier to convert to ringgit malaysia?

intel also going to cut price.... just wait around 16 April onwards....

3.447 at the moment.

why open another thread
here?

RM280+ =.="
but is it intel will slash their price with a big amount??

if intel slash price with a big amount they sure lost a lot profits
dun think so...

AMD just warned their Q1 will come below market expectation, with revenue at USD1.23B and going to resturcture.

http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/070409/advanced_mi...tlook.html?.v=1

Looks like price war benefits end users but not shareholders. I mean USD73 for a dual core is really a bargain..

I hope AMD will do better financially.. only competition brings better products at more acceptable price!

If only AMD X2 are as good as C2D.

very hard to decide.

juz make things simple
budget = AMD
performance = intel
that's all

But I want performance AND budget in the same package.

buy 65nm x2 3600+ and overclock it? then got budget and performance.

just need good motherboard and good cooling.

anyone know does the abit k9n ultra support brisbane core>?

Why AMD price cut doesn't interest me at all?

coz u are hard fan of INTEL ..rite?? dont ask the silly question..

so sad. my system is o pricy before.. wrong time beli la...waa..

I've been using 3 AMD chips until now. The reason is, those who seek performance, will never touch AMD for now at least. Its at the end of its product life cycle.

but seems like the AMD X2 prices are already at that range from last week's price lists.

due to the K8 design, the frequency tops at 3GHz.. thus that's the max speed X2 6000+ and the FX74

Intel Core2 has more room to go beyond 3GHz, probably around 3.6GHz.. factor in the Core2 has around 10% advantage IPC over K8 clock for clock, so the performance crown belongs to Core2, no question asked.

so i guess it depends on how much RM you are willing to spend to get a cpu..

to do that u nid a good PSU as well dude

Type of insult to AMD?

amd damn crazy... how ar.... so cheap... shouldnt wait anymore for c2d to slash price?

mostly due to u're bored wif AMD chips dude
nothing new

How i wish the price list were for socket 939

of coz the choice for oriented budget is AMD since with RM300 can already get a good motherboard..
and besides that, maybe temperature too..my x2 seems cooler than c2d..

Why do you need a better PSU? I thought 65nm microprocessors consume less power...?

HOLY CRAP! that cheap?....thats it I'm coming down to KL...does anybody know where i can get my hands on a socket 939 processor?

S939 obsolete already. now is AM2 socket

i know its a legacy processor...but my wallet still has a scar from buying an asus A8n-SLI deluxe...maybe make it my 3rig thou'...anybody know where?

get it in garage sale from fellow LYN forumers

u can get, by stealing, . there are no such think as budget and performance in cpu history.

enthusiast only cater about 25% or less from the overall market.

and besides, the real life performance is not much difference between Core and K8 nowadays... so cost/performance ratio is more important for the mainstream and business segment

Added on April 9, 2007, 11:40 pmwell....there's no harm to wait till Q3 or Q4 of 2007 when AM2+ is gonna be released to the mainstream market *hint*dual core AM2+*hint*

Come 22nd April, you can get the lowest priced (but able to overclocked to 3.2 GHz) Intel C2D, E4300, at around RM400. For addtional RM120, it is a far better buy than AMD Dual Core. (Okay, I have not take into account motherboard price here).

E4300 x9 multiplier, to get 3.2GHz, you will need 350MHz FSB, meaning a really good 965 motherboard.

just for reference, reported brisbane x2 3600+ OC. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/425572/+80

sorry, u are comparing the new intel price RM400 vs old K8 price (RM280 of brisbane 3600 x2), i can bet i can get it RM265 now. it may drop to RM245 after 9 april.

dai ko E4300 mana ade x9 multiplier ?

E4300 spec'ed 1.8GHz, FSB 200MHz, so it's 9x multiplier.. something wrong?

http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL9TB

E4300 is 9x multiplier. Nothing wrong, just that it not have Virtualization Technology only.

Same here, just not that enthusiastic about AMD

The processor price is getting lower and lower... but the other hardware parts like memory, motherboard, power supply and graphic card are still very expensive.... bleh....
to be honest the other hardware parts are even more expensive than the processors....

For S939, currently I know there's still some 3200+ but it cost the same as a new AM2 X2 3800+, I think better to go for the new AM2.

For those guys interested in getting the new tech from AMD, surely u can wait, but if through initial test proved the new AMD processors are up to par with C2D, then the new processor will be priced much higher too.

By then, when u compare product range, the AM2 will compete against the Pentium D, while the new AMD processors will compete against C2D. In price point, the AM2 is still cheaper than other Pentium D. I don't know the price for the new AMD processor, but should b similarly priced to the C2D too.

AlsoE4300 is more suited for gaming, not on multitasking. Am2 allows multitask in a breeze, especially when u've OC it.

Why is that so? You're aware that the E4300 is just a "chopped down" version of the E6300 (Half the cache, no VT and 800MHz FSB), right? You do realise that the E4300 is also very highly overclockable because of its 9x multiplier, right?

I'm not saying that the AM2 is bad or anything. The AM2 chips are good value for money and offer solid performance. But the E4300, a dual core chip, is not suitable for multitasking but more suitable for gaming??? That's something new.

i still eying on intel price cut. the c2d seem better for OC. amd really make a good move to cut their price. this will make intel revise their coming price cut

this price war finally push dual core price lower than rm300. imagine 1GB stick of ram same price or higher than dual core proc
i can smell quad core coming soon, in my pc

I was looking forward to April 22 and now this happens. More confusion!

so many $$ ha?? leh blanje me..haha

AM2 X2 is really good enough for I would say 100% of what regular folk do with their PC, like when you surf the web, play music, watch movie and then maybe do spreasheet or even photoshop or games, majority of the time you will have spare cycles, means processor not fully utilized.

For those not sure AMD is good enough, and where $$ is factor, just examine what you do with your PC mojority of the time, if its largely simple stuff like mentioned, then forget it, just get AMD you will have power to spare, then can put what you saved in other areas of your rig.

If you are into hardcore anything, gaming, 3D development, pro photoshopping, just a fast processor does not make a fast machine, sure it goes a long way, but you could put that extra budget into fast memory, graphic card, motherboard and so on, or just buy a new pair of pants!

wah now i dunno weather to wait for my RMA or straight buy a new pc liao..............

so cheap the processor, RM1k can get u a nice setup already

so when the amd x2 processor will drop in malaysia?

The pricing of X2 cpu at LYP is quite competitive, but seems like majority still 90nm parts. (RM265 3600+ listed as 2GHz, meaning 90nm parts) Not sure if easy to find retail 65nm parts.

There is a bulk for X2 3600+ brisbane at the bulk section.

if u dun hav alot bucks to spend cheap x2 is good buy..clock it like mad n hav fun..

got the mooney get c2d..simple as tat..

wow, now i can even fit a 4400+ in my budjet. just go n saw thundermatch pricelist, 4400+ same price with 4200+ i certainly hope that i can get a 4400+ with less then rm300 by june

price cuts = GOOD

spam posts = BAD

I DON'T AGREE AMD (BUDGET) AND INTEL (PERFORMANCE).
I HAVE USED ATHLON XP 2000+ (1.6GZ) AND PENTIUM 4 2GZ, IT SEEMS THAT ATHLON IS FASTER THAN PENTIUM IN MANY APPLICATIONS ESP. VIDEO EDITING.

ALSO, I HAVE USED ATHLON 64 3000+ (1.8 GZ) AND PENTIUM 4 3GZ, ATHLON 3000+ IS MUCH FASTER. ONLY, IT GETS HOTTER FAST. SO BUY GOOD FAN FOR THE CASING.

Yeah, you're about 2 years behind the times too. Newsflash: Pentium 4 is history.

umm.. broken keyboard with CAPS stuck on?

AMD really good bang for money, 3600+ and 3800+ below USD100. so i think X2 wins in the "best value for money" category.

AMD has no comparative cpu to Intel's E6700 and above. so if money no problem, Intel has the performance crown, until we see Agena and Kuma.

The greenish text of yours, reflects your fanboyism and it could have been a point if it was posted 2 years ago. Your are cute.

eemmm AMD vs Intel again never ending war



This post has been edited by abel: Apr 11 2007, 03:32 PM

That's da reality dude
procs: Intel vs AMD
gpus: nVidia vs ATI

Why so sad ?

Competition is a healthy business, it creates innovation and it also benefit the end users like us who are waiting for good price on those proccessor

If break it down into (in terms of price)
- High end CPU
- Mid range price CPU
- Low end CPU

- Intel win (the King)
- AMD win (IMO best performance/value, Paladin in shining armour)
- donno lar ... but thinking AMD

price war isn't good in long term because cpu company will not have enough resources for big R&D project to design better products.

sorry, my bad.. yeah it's 9x multiplier . Thx for correcting it


come on, those are grandmother stories . Keep it for ur grandma, she might be interested

I think most cc will run their pc with AMD proc nowdays, their price is so tempting!
We won't see Intel in cc anymore haha.. wise move from AMD

280+ can get a dual core edi
so cheap

If my budget doesn't permit me to get C2D, AMD X2 AM2 65nm is not a bad choice either, the 3800+ with 2x512KB L2 cache is a good buy XD

Da X2 3600+ Brisbane chips wif 2x512k L2 even more affordable than da X2 3800+ dude

between AMD Athlon energy efficient and normal one, 65W vs 89W, any price difference? Whats the price of Brisbane 3800+ ?

This post has been edited by mych8660: Apr 26 2007, 01:55 PM

i dun think there's a price for Brisbane 3800+...however, 3600+ is rm 270 from CrazyboyRS thread

3800+ is not a brisbane core..but it's has EE(65 watt) edition..

what's the issue? 3600+ is 1.9ghz .... 3800+ is 2.0ghz .... hence the pricing strategy is like that.

Intel has more edge in multitasking but not really precise in floating point value while AMD has more edge in precise floating point value and good in gaming but not in multitasking.. Confuse huh

Intel=Multitasking roxxor
AMD= Gaming and complex and complicated scientific calculation like u see in NASA to count the axis x and y of the orbit.

This post has been edited by nightzstar: Apr 28 2007, 12:21 PM

do not get fooled by the intel hyperthreading advertising gimmick please,

it is more appropriate to say intel good at video encoding

3600+ including Brisbane is 1.9GHz? I thought they're 2.0GHz

Well those days, it can be compared like that. Intel in multimedia and AMD in gaming, but ever since C2D, use either one is good enough for multimedia and gaming. It just that C2D is the latest tech

well... Radeon wat nightzstar said is true and proven from my exp... when i assemble sc 939 AMD64 CPU vs 775 P4 CPU... P4 is faster to complete cuz i can install more software at once... AMD will lag if open 2 much application...

As for C2D vs AMD X2... no comment yet...
But PD 3.4 > C2D 1.86...

Seriously?? That means E6300 and E6320, and I assume E4300 and lower also

But C2D can easily OC, thus increase their performance right?

3600 got 2 versions. One is windsor 3600 , another one is brisbane 3600

Windsor 3600 == 90nm, 2.0Ghz, 256kb x2 L2 cache
Brisbane 3600 == 65nm, 1.9Ghz, 512kb x2 L2 cache


-pWs-

I see, I thought both of them are 2.0GHz but the 1.9GHz OC better right?

This post has been edited by afosz: Apr 29 2007, 09:28 AM

Yea...You are right
Brisbane really nice


-pWs-

yeah..nice....
but wait for Agena to come out....

brisbane is a gem of processor below Rm300...coz it easily oc to 3ghz...

However, for budget below Rm450...get Intel E4300 which perform much higher after oc...

any latest price for s939

no different. consider yourself lucky if u can find a new retail box

those pricecut is for AM2. damn amd killing off s939

I think options for S939 are pretty limited. S939 cpus are rare and more expensive compared to AM2.

I guess for S939, it would be better to get a new platform. If you are sticking with HT, I think Agena or Kuma on AM2+ would be good (but have to wait, like 6 months??)..

some say AM3 will be out in2008..a big lost there to build new now..will stick to s939 now..
