AMD Phenom Gaming System Revealed

The guys over at Gizmodo got a hold of AMD's newest quad core system. The rig seems quite impressive while it also uses two ATI X2900XTs. Its not much of a review but it's still better than nothing.
We just got the chance to play around with AMD's newest quad core system, the Phenom RD790 and a pair of ATI HD2900XT graphics processors. There's a whole lot of cooling going on, thanks to John Woo's new game Stranglehold. AMD is still mum on pricing and final specs, though they did reaffirm their desire to ship this sucker in "early Q4" of this year, so like October? The system managed the Havoc physics engine with ease, jumping into sepia-toned "tequila" time and into a zoom mode that gave a bullet's eye view of the action. Lack of specs notwithstanding, the experience was mesmerizing, right up to the point where one of the bad guys in the game took a bullet in the nuts, and I actually felt his pain. Wanna see?

That was the greatest joke ever. P4 had no nuts to stand even close to A64s. Just the Shadow of A64 will piss P4s pants:roll:

I think we can all agree here that TX got pwned, along with those silly Pentium 4's.

Ignoratio elenchi/irrelevant conclusion. That doesn't affect whether the P4 was a POS or not. Which it was.
