Personally, I believe this is 100% fake, still warm from the photoshop bench. I'll eat my words if this is true, as I am no fanboy. But, I just find this impossible for any sane man to believe.
Would the Phenom II 940 really be priced under $300 if this was true? AMD is not pricing it like that out of the good of their heart. Just think back to the FX-53, 55, 57, etc...
Discuss.
oh oh, here we go! I say based on other results around the web, this is a bad joke.
Even so.. yay *yawn* QX9770 is yesterdays garbage, the lowly Core i7 920 is what Phenom II will be competing against.
hey Gom your right but the depending on price and overclockability you never know however I would never by an AMD boardQuote:

wonder what AM3 will do when you run the chip at 3.2ghz core with L3/HT @ 3.2ghz.
I would think that Q9550's and Q9650's would be direct competitors too.Quote:

Wouldn't overclocking this chip make it a viable alternative to a Core i7?Quote:

Especially if we can build 2 x the rigs for the same price as 1 Core i7.
From a processing perspective, this could become a true bargain.
It's all a bad joke. *joker face*Quote:

This is assuming best case scenario, which is... Unlikely.
To get 7100 with an 13000 CPU score, GPU is close to only 5200. Far lower than what Radeon 4850s do, even with the first rev Cat 8.6.
Something's wrong in either score, but it would invalidate whatever P45/P43 OCWorkbench review if proven. :|
Score is valid, but:
The ORB easily corroborates this.Quote:
