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?

i suppose all my other hardware is in a totally different case? :nutkick:
that is the first, and probably only time i will use the nutkick emoticon :roll:
want to make your life better with zero work on your part? start lying about everything in your life, theres no reason to ever tell the truth
theres no way my case weights anywhere near 90lbs...
or my processor runs that fast...
or that the p4 is one of the best processors ever...
I need to put wheels on it.
But then again, solid red oak is just too damn sexy to pass up.
But please get this back close to topic :)
Anyway, I really hope the Phenom is not a let down. I don't want to see what would happen to AMD if this flops.
In theory it should be superior to C2D, as it is TRUE dual core.
In technical terms its "better" because its a unified design.
Performance wise, is completely independent.
I miss the Athlon x64 days...
Otherwise this thread is going to derail into the normal amd/intel banter.
j/k! :D
Your absolutely correct and I'll refrain from such slip ups in the future.
