I do 3.7 STABLE on PH1. with my 810epMW.
others do like 2.9 -3.1 of the quads, meaning the duals do 3.1-3.3 and thats pretty bad! the 81x does atleast 3.2-3.3 as quad ;)
But still, they aint really good, if they aint priced hilariously low, on the posetive side, you can buy CL5 memory @ 800 mhz and get pretty good performance with the IMc, not compared to other amd's but compared to C2D.
nothing really special, not that i wouldnt have fun trying to overclock one but meh.
it must have been tweaked maybe it is lower power consumption or something, a larger increase in clocks but for them to claim 50% increase must mean something
AMD bashers are out in full force this week and its making me sick, without any competition youd have a monopoly on the market, intel hold the top end crown but amd still offers good value for midrange and budget
if someone wants a new pc id recomend this or a phenom II over a 775 that is old tech

I don't understand why create 2 parts with unlocked multi with in the 100Mhz diff range? Why not just blow the remaining stock for say $50 with a heatpipe cooler and be done with this family cpu.
Bring on the new weapons AMD.
