just some numbers of amd procs compare to intel procs. i know barcelona is make for server, but at least we can guess what will Phenom perform against intel quad procs.


really hope that amd can bring in the phenom with a lower price point, maybe at that time i can consider refresh my rig.

If Phenom has anything to to, it will be keeping AMD users AMD users.
Sticking to unified voltage regulations is one of the best things I've heard on upgradability and mid-range performance (es. FP) should be very competitive (Kuma/X2) with older Core 2 Duos.

Barcelona might not push that far but Kuma could. They should've rolled out the less ambitious chips first as a buffer.

so what the advantage of phenom, saw a lot news but nothing really tells much about this new core design......

AMD having too much trouble now. K10 yields for frequency more than 2.5GHz may be worse. I dont know if this also mean cant oc higher. But if they cant get mass production before penryn then they will be doomed. Maybe as Intel said unified quad core implementation was a suicide.

The Phenom processor in this rig is installed in an AMD reference RD790 chipset-based motherboard. This motherboard features an AM2+ socket (support for higher HT link speeds and split power planes) and true, dual PCI Express x16 graphics slots.

According to a AMD staff, Phenom is very good in gaming.

Just found it, Phenom logo on one of the ferrari driver.

Hoho, they already reveal the logo.I wonder they still can sponsor Ferrari besides having financial crisis.

hmm! the driver is massa or kimi >?

i think the driver should be massa. i saw the same logo yesterday on massa helmet. hehe

Its kimi's helmet, If that is massa's helmet, there would some parts of helmet is painted by yellow colour.

AMD Quad COre Phenomi can suit into AM2 Motherboard(Biostar Geforce 6100 I am using) , right??

I think suite into AM2+, not sure for AM2

Maybe just need bios update. Just wait until official and check on Biostar website or email them.

nothing more than a few pictures. even can't verify whether than screen is showing actual stuff or just a photoshop'ed wallpaper lol

They have an agreement to how many years they have to sponsor the team. They can't pull out now. They have to pay more to pull out. And many other sponsors are deserting Ferrari because of Marlboro buying out the whole car and selling the sponsorship spaces at a higher price than usual. Vodafone even jumped ship to McLaren. Also Intel really use their relation to BMW.Sauber to the max compared to AMD with Ferrari. They even paid rFactor to make the car ingame for their simulator. go figure on who get the better coverage out of these 2 sponsors.

who say so?
AMD technology is still far behind Intel.
Intel do Quad core then AMD also want, AMD is always like a dog,ppl do ald only they do
The only advantages of AMD is that their are cheaper only
AMD is not good 4 games application,u know?It's their business strategy that make ppl thought that AMD is the better,but actually far behind Intel

I found this hillariously funny and not true

hey doggie r u sure wat u talking??
there is only intel or amd in ur brain...which is a brand...
bout technology i m sure u knw nothing like a dog...

even though intel is better..
do u think it can b better with AMD??
do u think u get the chance to touch the intel quad core without amd??
without a good competitor i don think intel will speed up the train and lower the price...

ooo no...u r so childish

ignore him. even tho I prefer intel, that is one mighty stupid post he did XD

Loxl, Bryan sounds like he's a Kampung Baru kid trying to show off his underwear.

Come on man, if you are a tech geek, you'll know that mainstream goes for price/performance ratio. AMD was King till C2D came out.

Remember? *OMG! Laser gun shots! Pew pew!*XD
