New info on the Phenom II X4

[KarmaKiller]

IDK, I'll look around and see what I can find over at XtremeSystems. I've seen some pretty high LN2 runs with the Q9770's.
Anywho, I did just see this though:
ASUS Rampage II Extreme Sets Core i7 OC Record - HotHardware

That's 5.5Ghz on the I7, which with hyperthreading enabled, you have 8 cores.

Im still in the mindset that the Phenom II will hold a very viable and impressive solution for the gaming niche.

Lots of censored screenshots there. But it ends with this:

how about we all just be happy that AMD actually has a product that can almost keep up with intel

Eh, maybe, Phenom II will keep those that are loyal to AMD happy but again, i don't think it'll be any faster if not as fast as the i7, even in gaming.

I'm just saying I mainly use my computer to play games and the i7 is a beast. from what i see it'll be hard for anything to beat its performance. Turbo boost helps alot.

the closer we get to release, the more stuff were seeing.

Maybe it'll be almost as fast as Intel, but that'll probably be over when Intel releases their new cores again, but I'm upgrading to Phenom II anyways.
Has nice overclocking potential and room to play with, and really, would you seriously see a difference between a 4Ghz Phenom II and a 4.xGhz Intel??

Ok, the intel will be faster in benches probably, but in real life world, would those small things really make THAT big a difference??

funny thing is i have an E8500 that i can barely get to 4ghz stable. I have a thermalright Ultra 120 cooler with a 120mm fan and still no luck.

i dont think there would be very much if any real world difference you would see when you hit 80+ FPS and wouldnt matter anyways.
