If the Phenom II X4 is competitive will you buy it?

as long as these chips do there proposed 4ghz on water they will be clocking with i7 so i don't think that will be a huge issue

esp. with how hot i7 chips are :shadedshu sounds like P4 again

No offense but your kinda jumping to conclusions now. Are there any true LGA 1366 coolers out there? This is a new platform, it needs new cooling solutions before you can draw any conclusions.

That's a good point, but I don't know how much merit it holds, the cooler I use was originally designed for s754 AMD chips, also given alot less has changed since 754 to AM2+ compared from LGA775 to LGA1366

I will go from an E7200 to a Phenom II X4

Mussels · Nov 22, 2008

I'm pondering it. If a phenom II can outperform a Q6600, my LAN rig and my media rig will be swapping hardware.

It'll be a while before I upgrade again so, no. When it is time to upgrade, I go with whoever is on top.

So the bottom line is, you have no idea who you will follow, just as long as they are on top at the moment? Right?

If I'm able to achieve a 4.00 GHz 24x7 out of a 940 BE, then why not?

BraveSoul · Nov 22, 2008

oh yeah

YES YES YES currently got brisbane 2.8ghz can't wait for :respect:

deneb, gona be quiet a change quad core at 3.0ghz ahhhhhh pair it with fast ddr2 & overclock; im drooling already

techie81 · Nov 22, 2008

I upgrade once a year and I just got a 9950. I'm happy for now.

DrunkenMafia · Nov 22, 2008

I just got a 9550 and its plenty quick enough. But I also found out that my mb will support the new chips so YES, HELL YES I will get one.

Can;t wait

chris89 · Nov 22, 2008

As far as i can tell my Mobo will support the new chips.

I didn't get a Phenom as i didn't think they were good enough so got a 6400 (3.2GHZ Dual core)

But most likely will get one of these, as long as the Pound isn't even worse against the dollar when it's released.

EastCoasthandle · Nov 22, 2008

Interesting results so far.

J-Man · Nov 22, 2008

No, I am sticking with Intel and I am going to upgrade to the Core i7 later on.

Can the option "I'll keep my current set up, thanks!" be added. I don't need to upgrade.

same here

why upgrade if i consider my rig enough even for the latest games...

christof139 · Nov 22, 2008

It's a keep up with the Jones thing, and/or an addiction like gambling, smoking whatever, women to a lesser degree, collecting things like cars, firearms, weapons, baseball cards, whatever.

Not voting because my choice is not listed.

if it is cheaper and more performance yes, i will go to amd, but if its the same performance then i will probably stay with intel unless amd is just cheaper

Phenom II X4 940
I think stock is at 1.35V (not 100% yet sure yet)

HolyCow02 · Dec 3, 2008

oh man the more I see about Dragon the more I want it to come now! Can't wait to rebuilt with a 945 BE and a 790FX board. Already got my 4870, though maybe i will get another :rolleyes:

And the thing I noticed about that link is that the board they are using has SB600, which is outdated. With the new SB750, performance and OCing should be better!

yea, but it works on an Asus 790FX/SB600 board, great news for owners of those boards and a nice upgrade path!

rizla1 · Dec 3, 2008

if i every get a quad it will more than likely be intel and more than likely be i7 920 and overclock the shit out of it as i do alot of 3d modeling, photshop ,most of the time at once with mediaplayer open antivirus running in backround and firefox so i would benifit alot , as my truty old 5000 be does ok but its very slow at rendering scenes in max. maybe amd can change my mind , but i doot it as i dont think my mb will suport the new quads ..
and by the time i upgrade i7 will probly cost less than £200 .ddr3 will be dirt cheap to.

although i mite go amd as i am young and the amd sytem would probably be built for less than £400 as ive got a 750 watt psu and a 320 gb hdd mite get a 640 gb one.
