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

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.

newtekie1Wait, 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.

leave them, they may attack ...

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Oh they will be competitive.

nflesher87I just hope AMD gives us something worth buying...

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.

DaMultaOh they will be competitive.

with what, a central heating unit?

Ben ClarkeMoon base, idiot. :slap:

j/k.

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

hes since moved...

mandelorehes since moved...

But I wanted to live on Mars :( :cry:

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



the rest is my job...

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.

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

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

newtekie1Wait, 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.

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

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.

BasardCrap, 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:
www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813151089

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

DanTheBanjomanPrices seem nice, TDP is less attractive though.

exactly what i was thinking

erockerOpterons generally cost more. Now, the only way that we can assure Newegg doesn't go off price-gouging again, is to buy them slowly.... if that makes any sense? I'm sick of thier damn pricing!

Think yourself lucky, whatever you pay, we in the UK can expect to pay between 25 - 50% more :cry:
