it depends on latency of ram also i think.

as for hopin d 'e' chip to do like 9950, that's a big dream bro. imo, no way on earth they'll go near 9850be, let alone 9950be. i wud be happy if a 9150e can reach 2.3~2.5GHz. remember that amd comes out w/ be becoz most of their chip can do high htt, 9150e & 9350e only come w/ 9x & 10x multi respectively, so it's really hard for them to reach high clock since they don't come w/ unlocked multi.

i'm sure it can hit 2.5-2.6ghz.. like 9500/9600
if 2.3ghz with stock voltage just ok for now..

see this.. sure got something..



why need that expensive BE? if cheap i also want..

bro, u can't make assumption just based on performance in one game only rite? d reason of 9600 bein low in d test showed could be due to tlb erata correction. i guess it was turned on during d test.

neway, if budget is d priority, 9550 is d best bet. saw some of 'em managed to clock way up to 2.8GHz, but again, batch plays a big role there.

since the crysis is the most power hogging game.. i better isolated the case to that.. 5fps extra no much different for me coz currently most gaming @ >50fps..
if saying on other games.. my current setup already sufficent..
i just need more on cpu power for other purposes.. thus seeking for the best bang of the bucks..

3k on cpu score is ok.. 3.5k for budget setup is a bonus..

AMD clan, Plz proceed to new thread, V9 was opened
