now now... lets calm down... read the full story before accusing and insulting...

CD just twisted what the guy said to make it sound much worse than it is

I may have been a smidge harsh with the accusations....still ssaid w1z's review was flawed though so it wasn't inaccurate just kinda overblown

LAN_deRf_HA · Apr 27, 2010

Just read the anandtech review... seems I called it right. The black edition isn't worth the price vs i7, but the 1055T is... especially if you already have a compatible motherboard. Seems i7 still wins in the majority of workloads though, but I guess it evens out once you factor MB cost in...

Yeah, in encoding (which is my most important consideration for my 24/7 rig), it is only on par with i7 w/HT clock for clock.

I thought for sure it would do better. I may go with X58 for the second rig as well now, as the platform is more flexible. Budget will decide this one for me.

It could be skewed but then again you were holding dear life with 2 wizz's benchmarks in certain resolution to tell me Phenom 2 x4 is faster than i7. :roll:

So tell me CD how you like the reviews so far? Did I speak false information like you and then attack people for speaking factual information? :rolleyes:

Wile E · Apr 27, 2010

Seriously, knock off the smartass back and forth comments. It lowers the quality of the thread. Both you and CD need to keep your quips to yourselves. Post facts, followed by opinions without the personal attacks you 2.

marvelous211 · Apr 27, 2010

I don't understand why people fret about i7 building cost. AMD owners always compare an 1366 solution to AMD alternative.

If you have been living under a rock for the last year i7 is available in 1156 that cost less to build.

A H55/P55 board can be had for less than $100 with overclocking features to boot. You only need 2 sticks of ddr3 like AMD solution. So the cost is about same.

naoan · Apr 27, 2010

This is a nice drop in replacement for most AM2+/AM3 owner, I'm kinda glad I went to AMD route built it, when P45 was still the king.

I actually haven't seen the i7 smack around Phenom II's in gaming. Besides, gaming at higher resolutions is bound more to the GPU than CPU. i7 smaks PII around with CPU intensive applications for sure, but not gaming.

Every review is showing the Phenom X6's being manhandled by i7's. Sad, but true. However, for $309, I still think the 1090T is a great buy IMO. 4GHz hexcore from an AMD setup is something I'd love to play with... :rockout:

Heh, the "smoothness" of the Phenom's isn't a lie to tell you the truth. People who have had both Phenom II rig's and i5/i7 rigs can vouch for that. Raw performance numbers still go to Intel but it doesn't really matter in 90% of the situations. Gaming for example, the Phenom II X4/X6 is more than ample.

I'm not sure it man handles it because the higher end intel chips are around 700.00 more . They are similar to I7 920 cpus and a very good value at that. Just as the I7 920 is a good value aswell so AMD is reaching parity of all intensive purposes

I couldn't care less how long either of you have been posting anywhere, you just showed the whole world how mature you are for all your experience posting on forums.

Let the benches speak for themselves. Thanks to all who have posted benches and other relevant links.

Hey I said I ordered the chip and stopped posting like what two of his derrogatory posts ago wile e said grow up and I respect him so I stopped.

I run an i7 for my primary rig, but still own 2 AMD's. I've mentioned the "smooth" factor several times with Phenom II rigs. It's really hard to describe, but it is there for sure. I just bought a MSI 890GX board for the kids rig/cruncher, and in about 10 minutes I'm going to order a 1090T for it.

Can I be your kid? :laugh:

I think you are going to use the 1090T to crunch while giving your kids your older cruncher, am I correct?

No, the kids rig doubles as a cruncher, since the kids never utilize the processing power. They will be getting the 1090T. For now, my i7 is my primary benching rig.

So you are going to crunch in the background while your kids use the rig? Can you set it so that 4 cores are crunching while 2 are left to your kids?

tbh, I can't believe there is such a difference... CPU power can't make that much of a difference in game can it? Especially since they are close? There has to be a flaw... In their test setup, this is with a 5870...

And why didn't they compare i7 930 @ 4ghz vs 1090t @ 4ghz instead of 4.1 ?

xrealm20 · Apr 27, 2010

I'm liking how these new chips are performing. I've been considering upgrading my x2 555 to an x4 -- I may have to just get the x6 now.

bpgt64 · Apr 27, 2010

Thats a good point, I think 4.1 was the fastest stable overclock they could get.

yea but the i7 930 can go higher than 4.1 for sure, flawed comparison... and why does Crysis have no AA?

The Voltage for the OC seems high... something like 1.5V - vdroop vs the stock 1.25~1.3 I think? Also, they were lucky to get such a nice OC, on other reviews I see them getting 3.8 with that voltage

And would going 3.2ghz to 4.1ghz make the results OVER 300% better in Crysis minimum fps?

crazyeyesreaper · Apr 27, 2010

well i think they went more for how hard the cpu can push adding AA im fairly sure would show each cpu 100% even by removing it it gives the card more power to devote to raw frame rate and in that sense how far each cpu can push that gpu kinda like how cpus tend to be tested at low resolutions etc to see where they really fall in line most of the time

n-ster · Apr 27, 2010

ok, that's what I was exppecting, though I though AA would stress them more lol...

But they are OCing the 1090t at MAX with like 1.5V, if they would do that, you would get the i7 930 at 4.3~4.5ghz

And would going 3.2ghz to 4.1ghz make the results OVER 300% better in Crysis minimum fps?

and would there be a 70 fps increase between 3.2ghz and 4.1ghz in Dirt 2 max fps?

Psychoholic · Apr 27, 2010

Gonna head up to my local frys and see if they have the 1090 + crosshair iv in stock, if so, it will be replacing my 920 / X58
