juuuicy !!!!

I AM LOOKIN AT THE Q9550 2.83GHZ FOR $530 MMMM MMMM !

ok now AMD your turn to strike back

I think im going with the Q9450 :ohwell:

any news on what multiplier they have ??

q6600 only 40 bucks more then the e6600 wtf...

DOM_ATI_X800XL_PCI-EI think im going with the Q9450 :ohwell:

any news on what multiplier they have ??

Divide the Mhz of the CPU by the bus.

1066Mhz QP = 266Mhz and 1333Mhz QP = 333Mhz.

The Q9450 (which would be my choice as well, 12MB and cheap) is 8 x 333Mhz = 2.66Ghz. At 400Mhz that's 3.2Ghz, or in other words a QX9770 for a quarter of the price. Hopefully they're easy to overclock.

q9550 has 8,5 multiplier. hmm

The prices of current processors aren't dropping?

It's funny you call the QX9770 "Goliath".
Because it is defeated by my "David" - Q6600 @ 3.8Ghz (4.0Ghz possible).

Ironic, isn't it?

wel it may have a higher overclock then the q6600?

How do you know that Q6600 will be faster than the fastest 45nm Yorkfield? 3.2GHz base clock, new architecture, 12MB L2...you'll need more than a 3.8GHz quad Kenti. :shadedshu
Don't get me wrong, but after only one run from QX9550, 11 world records were broken into pieces...you're going nowhere with your Q6600.

Ohh, at this rate we'll eliminate ram and just run everything from cache, while ram acts as the slow page file :P

nflesher87ok now AMD your turn to strike back

Phenom : T-Minus 1+ months and counting! ;)

AMDDubbed a successor to the Athlon, the CPU will be one of the first true quad-core desktop processors, according to AMD; unlike Intel's Core 2 Quad or Xeon 5300, the Phenom in its X4 version will have four cores that can speak directly with each other at high speed rather than two dual-core halves that need to use the less efficient system bus.

Please no flames, just responding to a bud's post.

that E8800 (or whatever it is) for 266 looks very nice. Intel has finally got it with the prices, took them long enough Id say.

Damn. The future is looking good :D

Are you kidding?
First, off it's NOT a new architecture.
Secondly, the cache would get you like 1-5% more performance.
Thirdly, the world records were done at 5.5Ghz.
Fourthly, you know nothing about this.. but I'm not trying to be rude.

And yes, my Kentsfield will KILL ANY Yorkfield at stock.

Same.

First off... I dont know where you are coming from but you sound like some immature, overconfident person. Seriously grow up, you have no basis to make those claims, and doing it here on the front page?

"Same architecture" Oh right, you're an intel CPU engineer now? OF COURSE NOT. Intel obviously has changed the CPU's architecture, example, longer pipelineing, etc. They arent ignorant, and by logic the new QX9xxx/E9xxx series will be faster at the same clockspeed. Even if your Q6600 can do 4.0Ghz...Do we care? This isnt the overclocking thread, this is the front page news.

WeerSecondly, the cache would get you like 1-5% more performance.

5% more performance is 150mhz. A few mhz is often the difference between winning and losing in overclock competitions as we have seen in past news.

my e6600 looks like a 286 compared to that QX9770...

If your e6600 is a 286 then my p4 has the power of a dot matrix printer :P

First, it's a tweaked version of current Core 2s
Second, cache is huge when you're talking about large multi-threaded processes, especially in the Intel architecture.
Third, what's your point? Your q6600 is overclocked, why not compare it to the max overclock of a qx9770.

The 9770 will def have a unlocked multi (well if current extreme versions point to anything) which will make it easier to overclock. Also, the fact the at 45nm, they produce less heat so therefore can overclock higher will mean your 4.0 will be eaten by like a 4.2 or higher. The list goes on and on, but the point is the q6600 is in no ways superior to the qx9770

Ummm, what's the difference between E8190 and E8200? All the specs are identical.

Wile EUmmm, what's the difference between E8190 and E8200? All the specs are identical.

Typo probably....look they have a e6550 and a e6540....same thing.

:roll::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::roll:


ok this is just funny its like me saying my A64 will beat ANY P4 @ stock its just stupid lets compare apples and oranges while were at it...also the tweaking will be minuit but if other intel die shrinks say anything it will oc like a whole new beast expect 7ghz on these new C2D and 6.5ghz on the C2Quads...cache well it would be nice if intel would replace the damn FSB already so they didnt have to use these retardedly big and bulky cache sizes which limit the ENTIRE oc....finally you honestly dont know SHIT FROM GOLD SO STOP MAKING BLANKET STATEMENTS THAT YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT

I want a E9450
