So....since the Phenom II X6 thread has officially went to hell!
I'm directly asking my brothers of the Phenom who's getting/thinking the X6's when they come out, and what are you looking for with them if you do buy one?
I still haven't made my decisions yet on what I'm going to do, but I AM pretty interested in the X6's. Depending on their power consumption (especially in undervolting ability) I may end up going with one of those for the loooooooooong haul.
I honestly don't see much need for upgrade after the X6's come out for a VERY VERY VERY long time. The way things are headed multithreaded programs are finally beginning to make their way into more and more things. Once that really begins to take hold I think having the 6 cores should have a rather MASSIVE advantage in comparison to the other processors out there except the X4 which will still be relatively close.
I'd really love to see some wPrime or Cinebench results to see what the multicore speedup roughly yields, but unless one of us gets one soon it's unlikely we'll see that anytime soon.
If a Black Edition model is released and has a good 4-600Mhz headroom.....dear GOD the lasting ability of that processor would be immense.
So....thoughts?
