December 20, 200817 yr Review: http://www.pcgameshardware.com/aid,6699 ... enchmarks/ Prices: X4 920, 2.8GHz - $235 X4 940, 3.0GHz - $275 They're releasing on January 8th. The NDA is supposed to end tomorrow. Oh man; do want. Supposedly these are supposed to overclock like beasts (AMD managed to get it stable 6.0 with LN2, but expect 4-5 GHz range with water, and 3-4 with a good air cooling solution.) I'll definitely be picking up a 920.
December 20, 200817 yr 6.0GHz, that's impressive. I'd go for an Intel if I ever need a new processor, but this thing is pretty tempting.
December 20, 200817 yr Author Hey, so would I. Intel processors are fantastic. I just don't want to spend the money on a new motherboard (as these run exclusively on the AM2+ socket, and the later AM3 CPUs will work on AM2+ also)
December 20, 200817 yr 6.0GHz, that's impressive. I'd go for an Intel if I ever need a new processor, but this thing is pretty tempting. I would buy Intel if I had the money too. And yes, this is very impressive. :shock: I use an AMD chip right now simply because I can't afford Intel though. :|
December 20, 200817 yr The inofficial speed was 6313mhz without crashing. I've known this for a couple weeks tho... But yes, they are certainly good the new Phenoms (the original architecture was actually made for 45nm, that's why the current ones doesn't perform as they are supposed to do). If i have the money i will be picking up one of the DDR3's:925 or the 910. J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff moviesJe trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vieJe ne me reconnais plus dans les gensJe suis juste un cas désespérantEt comme personne ne viendra me réclamerJe terminerai comme un objet retrouvé
December 20, 200817 yr Author Well, I have a Gigabyte board with a 770 chipset that does NOT support DDR3.. So I guess it would be pointless to wait for the AM3 CPUs. The price is looking just right.
