Phenom II X4 940 Tested at Stock Speeds
BreakTheLimt.net, a Malaysian hardware portal tested the Phenom II X4 940 at its stock speed of 3.00 GHz, and posted a sting of benchmark results of the said chip. It was tested on a platform consisting of a MSI DKA790GX Platinum motherboard, with 2 GB of DDR2 1066 MHz memory and a ASUS Radeon HD 4870 TOP graphics card. All components were set to run at stock speeds. The chip was put through Super Pi 1M and 32M, Cinebench R10, PiFast Multithreaded, WPrime 1.5, Aquamark and 3DMark06.

They both don't look so good when put against this E8400 of mine on this shitty DFI board that likes to die.
Intel could do nothing after Q6600 and still be in front of AMD. They could just make 45nm Q6600 and that is what it take to master Phenom II.
That is just pitifull.
I don`t know what AMD are thinking.

We need something that is multi threaded that can utilize all four cores, then we might see how a quad core is meant to run.
One last thought, remember the 48XX cards and how they were setup before the launch? It is very possible all extrenal engineering samples are not what the final product will be.
Did the reviewers make temps screenies? This is why temps on P II are better then Intel / older AMD procs.
Using the same settings, encode any movie with both procs @ same speed and check the result.
Seriously if ths chip is going to sell at a 200$ mark then its a winner in any case, but on the real world side... i doubt it will be that cheap, FGS the 9950's are selling at 200$ price point...
Im expecting low 250$...
And a suggestion for Pauleig... when you get the chip, you can also do a OC test on a 790FX/SB600 board just to see how it fares compared to 790GX/SB750 boards...
Would be nice to see if we people of the SB600 group really need to change to GX's or not...

SO yea that's what we need same set up and a program that utilizes all four cores and at the same clock speed, i agree with you there ;)
