Nope, because Intel will be releasing i9 around the same time. Hexacore + HTT. Intel will still be on top.

Probably. It still has the best upgrade potential of all the platforms. You just pay a premium for that potential in mobo costs.

how much money do you want a 17year old to invest?

1000 dollars,roughly estimated? i dont think intel can beat AMD in price, even if they claim like 10-15 percent performance more,and 4 more "virtual" cores with the i9.

don't forget i don't have a job

I'm looking at a i5 setup. It would be around $400 or a new mobo and a Phenom II
PII would be about $320. What would be better i5 750 or PII 925

the i5 would clock better... at least that i now know

so i would have to think about if it would be worth the extra money... I'm starting to think i want to grab the Destroyer and PII 925 and be done with it. I know it wouldn't be as upgradeable but it would just give me a reason to buy a new board and ram later on which in turn would mean another rig for crunching on

6 more virtual cores. i9 is 6 real + 6 virtual.

at least you will get 4 slots for acceptable money

sorry wile, i thought it was an octacore... magny cours should have 12 real cores, am i right?
do you believe the i9 can win with 6 "half" cores...? i would consider 2 threads worth a core...

I can see any advantage to that... When i upgrade have a quad crunching and have the video cards i have now folding... But i would have to have a beefy PSU for that

... I think the Destroyer is in my future(or atleast it will be if i get the $$$)

Yes it is a 12 real core and the i9 is 6 real 6 HT. I can see 12 real cores beating 6real

dependant on the cards, between 700 to 1200 watt, i believe. but about 800 for 4 8800 gt, if im right.

i just wait for the first benchies :P

just alittle short of my 710w PSU that i have... Hmm maybe when the time comes i will just get a PSU for 2 of the cards and run the other 2 on the main PSU..
BTW if i get the parts i am wanting i will PM you with benchies

I am also waiting for the benches of the 12core chip vs the i9

should be a nice show

Magny has not been confirmed to ever come to the desktop chipsets in 12 core form.

you could just switch over to a server board and FB-DIMMs if you want 12 cores that bad

I don't think it would be worth it. give them time.The way it is going 12core will be to desktop before you know it. maybe not next year but a 1-3years from now i bet there will be a 12core

keep in mind most of the time AMD puts out there server chips then the desktop chips follow not too long after

quadcore must become standard

how complicated is it, to transfer a game or app to bigger multicore usage?

no idea i suck ass at programing. But from what i have read it isn't that hard and alot of games/apps can be "patched" to run multicores by the developer fairly easy
