Wait, these are the chips that are outperformed by Intel currently offerings clock for clock, right? And AMD is charging more for them? I don't see how people are saying this is a good thing.

its the amd fan's logic, lol

Weer · Nov 4, 2007

Those numbers are very close to the ones Intel is going to use..

Dark_Webster · Nov 4, 2007

Well, we all have seen some comparisons but I don't trust on a review that is made before the product gets on the stores so I say: Hang in there, AMD!(I am not trying to make flame wars)

Prices seem nice, TDP is less attractive though.

I feel the same way, except that these should be close to the performance of Barcelona. And there's been reviews on Barcelona. So that's where I think people are drawing the performance numbers. Just a heads up there.

Hope these chips are faster than like 2.6 ghz for the fastest one. Cause AMD really needs to start pumping clock speeds.

Dark_Webster · Nov 4, 2007

And starting increasing performance-per-watt... and clock

2.6 is the fastest on initial release, Q2 has an FX expected at 2.8, but not known yet. I will wait until more is known, but most likely if I get a knew cpu it will be the 5000+ black box.

What is this about:

HD9500WCGDBOX CPU Desktop Phenom X4 9500 (4MB,95W,AM2) box $247.00

I wonder how a site like this could make a mistake like that? Either way these prices aren't bad.

i dont think theres gonna be a phenom x2, but i wonder how the x3 will be priced.

I remember reading somewhere that the x2 version is going to keep the Athlon name, but like the rest of these rumors, take them with a grain of salt.

Oh jeez anyone look at Tom's hardware recently? They tested a QX9650 (Penryn) which at idle only needed 3.79 watts :eek:

(2ghz) and 73 watts at stock 3.0 ghz, and 135 watts at 4ghz (on air). I mean that's crazy...Pentium D's used that much at stock. AMD really has their work cut out for them. Those are some seriously good numbers.

nflesher87 · Nov 4, 2007

I just hope AMD gives us something worth buying...

DaMulta · Nov 4, 2007

Oh they will be competitive.

Yeah in some area. Like I wouldn't mind if they gave us CHEAP quad cores with nice consumptions but Intel's gone crazy with Penryn. Honestly 4 ghz at below 1.5 v on air....craziness. Even power consumption is way better with Penryn. This ain't looking to good for amd.

with what, a central heating unit?

Any news on how these fare against C2Q's yet?

von kain · Nov 4, 2007

ehmmm guys 1 question who i have to kill to get one???

the rest is my job...

Basard · Nov 4, 2007

Are they charging more than intel? Maybe they are better than Intel, I still haven't seen any REAL benchmarks. The only thing I saw was some crap graph, that was poorly made.

panchoman · Nov 4, 2007

no they are cheaper i believe. the redistributer price of the cheapest new intel cpu is 285 i think.

von kain · Nov 4, 2007

from what i have seen untl now the msrp will be at least 50`60$ more so i still believe there are gonna be cheap for a native quad core

dont think so, Phenom X4 and intel Core 2 Quad are in the same alley
Phenom X4 2.0ghz scores around the same as a X2 6400+ and thats good, a X4 2.4ghz should be around 20% faster than X2 6400+ on 3dmark,pcmark etc, but where the preformace is is when it comes to encoding video (HD 1080i to 720p using x264 with all cores), there a quadcore phenom x4 will realy hit the jackpot by outpreform X2 6400+ by over 50% i estamate

i bet they just added them as AM2 as they are backwards compatibility

Basard · Nov 4, 2007

They are cheaper, the cheapest Intel quad-core is 270 bucks. Or you could pay an extra 750 bucks for .6Ghz more on the QX6850. That doesn't seem fair. At least AMD prices it fairly. Crap, if I had 1000 bucks to drop on a cpu, I would just build TWO AMD systems.

or a multi cpu system. wonder if anyone has tried dropping 4 barcelonas in one of these:

will phenoms work on socket am2? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813151008 could be looking at 16 cored system.
