Ya, that time they lost to AMD because AMD suddenly came out with 3D NOW!

Yes! AMD The World Champion Overclocker Chip...

DENEB! DENEB! DENEB!

coolice and dblooi did 5.5ghz on LN2. too bad, not as good chip. but AMD now clocks HIGH!

Urmmm...

dem....

It seems that Phenom II wins just by raw speed. The new 45nm architecture doesn't seem to affect much

Ha Ha Ha...even though it just make a lil bit diff....

OCER will never give up to take this baby home and play with it...

Is it true Silverfire...

the last estimated price i heard for PII 940 is $300

$300 still quiteok..a Quad Core with 3ghz first release RM1.1k - 1.25k is resonable price. Emm this new proc is AM2+ or AM3 already? like i-7 need buy new mobo for it?

According to current plans, Phenom II X4 in both AM2 DDR2 and upcoming AM3 DDR3 iteration will stop at 3.0GHz core clock at least until Q3 2009.


" We believe that TDP is to be blamed as this time AMD doesn’t want to go over 125W TDP. We are not sure that Nehalems are selling like hot cakes due to the necessity of expensive platform upgrades and many are simply reluctant to make a huge investment in a year of economic crisis. Nehalem at 3.2GHz will end up faster than Phenom II X4 940, but at the same time the CPU itself will cost almost three times the price of a 3GHz Phenom II. "

AMD will launch Phenom II X4 940 at 3.0GHz and a total of 8 MB of cache on the 8th of January at the first day of CES and the one called Phenom II X4 945 at the same 3.0GHz core clock but with DDR3 memory support will show its face in Q2 2009. These two are currently the fastest CPUs planned until Q3 09 but this can easily change as companies roadmap are stable as the world economy.

Both Phenom II 940 and 945 should be able to reach 3.5 to 3.8GHz if not even faster on air, with a nice cooler and with water probably even more and therefore they might be very attractive for overclockers. The best part is that they will be cheap.

Phenom II will finally sound the bell of AMD’s recovery, as this CPU will be priced at the correct price, will overclock well and the infrastructure is much cheaper than Nehalem. The great thing about Phenom II is that it works in AMD 780FX / GX motherboards and it will have a cheap upgrade path, while with Nehalem, Core i7 you have to buy new memory, motherboard, CPU and cooler to make it work

AMD going chasing Intel

Hi Calvin22 please dont give wrong to AMD,

AMD is not going to chase intel ,but they wanted to create some healthy environment in Computer Market now days.

Can you imaged that a world with out AMD ???

You must probably use the same lame intel P4 for the rest of your life or maybe the Pentium D dual Core only.

You have thanks to AMD for the developing the healthy environment in computer market strategies.

If not we are still using the single core GEM.

According to what I've saw... A 3.2ghz Nehalem will not only be faster than Phenom II, a 3.2ghz Q6600 will be as fast or faster as the Phenom II 940 is...

Q6600 won't faster than this Phenom II....Q6600 max u can go is 3.6ghz(WC or Air Cooling) around and this can go 4ghz (WC or AirCooling) and cache both are same so definely this will better than Q6600

w00t getting very very gatal now days as phenom ll getting closer & closer to me heheheehee

it just slightly more than 1 week

waaaaaaaahhh hehehhhhhehe better start counting $$ inside fund tabung

wow but wallet+pocket

bro quick sell of everything u dont need....

well done AMD . i'll keep my eye on AMD further oc ability
