Anyone know what is condsidered the "best" steppings for the 9950?

Moose · Nov 17, 2008

Phenom 2 mmmmm i wondered when they'd step up the cache.

Hang on! why are the faster ones im AM2+ and DDR1066 and the slow ones DDR3 and AM3??

p_o_s_pc · Nov 17, 2008

Chicken patty just wanted to let you know how the 4850e clocked in the short time i used it before the PSU shit it's self. I got 3.1ghz @1.31v stable and 3.2ghz@1.31v it would let me bench. I DID get 3.4ghz@1.37v but i didn't get to use it long before the psu went. I think i may have a 4ghz chip or atleast have alittle compation for the 65nm C2D chips

Thanks bro. Thats absolutely great news. You have any idea when you going to get the new PSU, would love to see what that chip can do :toast:

Chicken Patty · Nov 17, 2008

this is the greatest news i've ever heard.

AMD gaurantees 4Ghz on air, and over on Liquid :toast:

http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/11/16/phenom-ii-athlon-x4-oh

christof139 · Nov 17, 2008

Hmmmm. Maybe because there are already so many AM2+ and AM2 mobos in use and circulation and production it might be better to release the higher clocked chips that only use up to DDR2 first, then as more newer mobos supporting AM3 and DDR3 are produced and enter use perhaps the 3.0GHz CPU will be made for DDR3 AM3. The two initial 3.0GHz and 2.8GHz AM2+ CPUs will also work on AM3but be limited to DDR2.

I hope these are somewhat CHEAPER than the i7's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanx for the link to this, it will be fun reading all the performance reviews etc. when they are out. Then waiting a bit for the price hopefully drop a bit. In the mean time, I am still perturbed that I missed an 8750 x3 on Ebay for $80 some odd dollars.

Hmmm, maybe those two 3.0 and 2.8GHz CPUs will be CHEAPER than the AM3 and Intel i7's. Could be so.

your welcome bro. I just got the RMA approved today so in a week or 2 i should have a new PSU. I am thinking the chip maybe able to get 4ghz.

BTW i want a Phenom II x2

I think they are going to be $300, if not mistaken.

christof139 · Nov 17, 2008

Oh. Thanx. Hopefully the price will be down by mid-next year or by the fall of next year. $300 isn't bad if you can affrod it and want it, but for many people $300 may = too much = I'll wait for the price to drop = not CHEAP enough for me, ...

In the meantime, I should build my E4700 and PD 940 compooters, or sell the parts, but I will keep the E4700 system, maybe just sell the brand new in the box PD940, or swap it with the P4 571 3.8GHz I have in a BTX Fan system (no OCing as it is an Intel mobo) and sell the 571 for a good price on ebay.

This place etc. is going to be hopping with good practical info on the performance etc. of these new AMD and Intel CPU's. Will be good reading.

Now to wait and see what new gfx cards will be coming out. We might have to wait a few+ months for that to occur.

Chris

PS: The Propus x4 sans L3 cache is supposed to be CHEAPER and faster than the present 9950 X4. Interesting. The X3 Regors and X2Ranas and X2 7000's are suposed to also be fairly CHEAP and fast.

My friend, there is going to be alot of choices for you

ShadowFold · Nov 17, 2008

I am going ASUS 790GX and Athlon X4 when they come out :rockout:

Yeah, thanx. I have to make copies of those charts and write them down or print them out in order to determine what is what when I buy a new CPU in the future. It will be hard to decide what to get with all the choices, especially if the prices drop in the future and all those CPU's become somewhat CHEAP.
