yup..and we all know that..it sucks because TLB errata probs..
if AMD manage to overcome that

(not soon..really) maybe amd going to be a good choice too afterall..
but OCing wif AMD is a thrill

even if AMD solve the TLB bug, still it need to sacrifice the performance...
we can see it through the TLB patch...
even the up coming B3 still got the TLB bug...
even the up coming triple core B2 still got the TLB bug...
even the Phenom 9600 BE max can go up to 2.6ghz...
AMD lost to Intel not juz in performance, even in Efficiency...
lookie here:
http://en.thethirdmedia.com/Article/200801...w7315c12p1.htmlthe upcoming intel nehelem some rumour say that it will not use FSB anymore... some say that it will use something like the AMD HTT...
somemore problem for AMD...
with their 5 billion debt for buying ATi, i dun think AMD could survive... but as long as there are still unbreakable AMD fans, hopefully AMD can last a while longer...
even i read somewhere that IBM will maybe buying AMD (rumours.. not sure whether its true or not..)
well for those who wants performance, better switch sides juz for a while until AMD can get back on its feet... hehehehe...
AMD disappoint me... waited for phenom hoping that it will at least be OCable to 3.6 or maybe 4.0 but... haih...
and yes.. to OC AMD is thrilling... still remember back in the old AthlonXp days...
but.. but... i like AMD... before this it never disappoint me... still doubting myself whether go to the darkside or not... haih...

dun expects too much from amd bro, i just hope that they can produce good oc chips like d f3s. performance wise aint matter to me much as i'm not a figures addict...
b2 batch of phenoms were really a let down, i'm expectin atleast 40 ~ 50% of oc can be done but...

fingers crossed till d afforable tri-core available. w/ d defective core 02 disabled, hopefully they can clock better. oc just for d sake of fun, not after figures as not matter how far we push, d current amd chips can't compite w intel chips. if figures (which doesn't mean much in day to day usage) really THAT important, then one should not go for amd (not untill they come out w better architecture).

i dun think that the upcoming tri-core can clock better... they are still using the B2 batch for the tri-core...
well.. we can wait and see... coming soon Q2-Q3 2008
