AMD Phenom X4 Compared to Intel Core 2 Duo in Crysis

[kwchang007]

HTT has little to do with performance, I've written a paper on it with all the details etc etc blablabla. Long story short high FSB will give massive performance gains, even if you just use settings that give you stock CPU and RAM speeds, but at a much higher FSB.

Hmmm....interesting. Never knew that. Well we'll be able to do our own tests once people start getting phenoms.

well thats 5 minutes of my life I'll never get back, lol nda not lifted, done by a non reputable reviewer. and yet same old story I've been seeing on these forums since the conroe launch. oh well.

bottom line is that this is not an official review, niether are the ones on peryn. so we can only wait and see how each will perform in the real world. lol I will say that kinpin smashed the 3d06 record with a peryn at 5.6GHZ (it was up for 48 hours for comparison they he took it down until official launch). any discussion on these cpu's prior to official launch is a waste of breath at this point.

Could this have anything to do with Crysis being sponsored by Intel?

crying conspiracy?

Nope just seems kinda obvious, sorta like Intel expected this.

 

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

ok

Intel pwns

Look at those numbers properly people, Phenom is on a crap 200MHz FSB, vs 333 from intel. Crank that FSB up and Phenom could well do some serious stomping.

agree 100% with you;also with HT;btw i knew that it will be 2000 Mhz and on CPUZ picture only 1600 ?;i think this cpu with 333 Mhz bus it will be on the same level with intel or better.

Yes but its only on 200x15 now and it needs lots of vcore,1.53 compared to 1.35ish on the intel.So how much vcore will it need to sustain a 333 fsb?

 

[newconroer]

Doesn't this become a bit of a moot point if the new GPUs have a decent focus on offloading processor stress?

lets face it must be fake (which i believe) or is true and the intel-fans start giving 400$ for 5 fps

 

[niko084]

This is kinda disturbing, I really want to see ATI and AMD both take a few steps up again, they don't need to dominate the world in Cpus and Gpus but seriously having more than 1 solid competitor in each category would be good.

Take a look again a e6850 is beating out the AMD quad core...
Thats a $280 dual core to a $*** quad..

While I think this particular review is a fake, I think the performance gap will be similar between the 2. I don't expect K10 to match Core2. I think it will be a better match, but I'm pretty sure it will still be behind.

Very possible its a fake or still working on un-tweaked equipment...
We will see on full release... I can't imagine AMD letting Intel run the game either...

PS- AMD doesn't need the Cpu market to stay in business, they are into a whole world more than cpu's...

 

[mdm-adph]

crying conspiracy?

There are no conspiracies in the world of business, only profits to be made.

If a business can make a profit by doing something, they will, no questions asked -- it's their sole purpose for existing. Working with the designers of a game you're sponsoring so that it will work better with your processors wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

...but that's just my opinion as a non-connected outsider.

Their finances surely support what you're saying, they can easily stay in business with all the money they're making.

What about the power usage? Do I have to leave it on idle downclocked to get it to eat as much power as a Core 2 Overclock running on max? I care about my electricity bills, it would be more expensive in the long run if the power usage is too high.

 

[WheresYerbrain]

wow, the masses ARE stupid

Stupid AMD. This is why I'm going Intel on my next rig. AMD are just failing to produce something that can beat Intel

Comments like this, what are you guys retarded?

Right now the Qx6850 runs about 1000 dollars and the pre Phenoms dont even go over 400 dollars.

If youre going to be paying double the price make sure it does double the performances you dopes.

my god, phenom lost by 5 frames, theyre going to go under now! who will think of the children!?

oh and a qx6850 is hardly the mainstream chip, im not even aware of ANY member of this forum with one, why not make a comparison to a q6600?

wow, yer just as bad ! Did you even check the front page?

Hey im lookin at lesse..... a E6850, a QX6850 and a Qx9650... wow, how wrong i was to bring it up the price differences to the processors you guys built a thread upon... shame on me.

"Dont join a forum to mention my opinion" and then you the gall to say you dont like it either? flame all you want, i brought up a reality point that was not your liking.

 

[cdawall]

i posted this days ago...

some lite oc'ing brings the chips very close together it appears that AMDs new chips use the HT a lot more than the old ones because i doubt a ram oc made a 7FPS jump in crysis though even with the extra 50mhz it still falls behind the intel cores about 10fps so maybe a 3.2ghz amd will be even with a 3ghz intel

ccleronia has one I believe.

 

[3991vhtes]

I would rather use intel, but AMD's cheaper.

plus intel generally bench's higher.

Thats just me, and what i think, and i dont want to argue about it.
