The repeating naming scheme of AMD proves where people's harts are these days: in Intels camp!
Trying to piggy back their CPUs by naming them just above the corresponding daddy Intels CPUs (just like adding + the last time they pilled this).
It's history repeating for AMD, hopefully also performance wise, eventually at least... for theirs and ours sake.
Some people here would not be able to do that if their life depended on it :shrug:Quote:

53 posts and no1 noted the typo? :doh: too bad i didnt too
D'oh! If I'm slightly dyslexic can I still get partial credit?

$289 for a 2.4 Ghz quad core k8 basically (not much IPC improvement over K8), vs. a Q6600 for $266, which will be faster then Phenom.
That's what we waited 18 months for?
lets not jump the gun just yet? Of all of the benchmarks that have been PRE-RELEASED, we've yet to see any definitive answers to make an accurate overall performance comparison.Quote:

yeh totally the prices are so low.Quote:

price is a 100% accurate indicator of performance.
anyone want to buy a 386 for $10k?
you can't compare a 2ghz phenom with a 2.4ghz intel and use point per Mhz in a graphics card dependant benchmark. the gfx card makes up a lot of the score in 3dmark, so it doesn't scale with CPU speedQuote:

and the same for PCmark if it's gfx card dependant (i dunno :))

3553 3dmark06 cpumarks for K10 @2,4GHz @ddr2 800
That's pretty bad considering my Q6600 is getting 5500+ CPU score clocked at 3.6 ghz...Quote:

Nuker_, you should rather tell us how much is your q6600 getting at 2.4GHz
OBR, you are wrong yourself. Even a kid knows three Phenoms will be announced November 19 he-he
That's very impressive actually especially considering chipsets can get 100-600 points more.Quote:

OBR stop providing false information.
Phenom will be in Warsaw and that's a fact.
OBR: If true, then that's a big shame because I was hoping on trying one soon.
Just saw Copper's reply... tilts the boat the other way again.
And i saw Opteron Barcelona 2356 2.3ghz , 2.2ghz, 2.1ghz on preorder too.
In this month we must see phenom.:D
Mate I'm just responding to the claim that for a couple of hundred bucks you can get a "Nehalem-like," cpu...:ROTF:Quote:

To provide more support for your post and to prove Phenom will score a tad higher/or equal to Yorkfield @ same clock in CPU test of 3Dmark06,i will provide a few links here(note:the results are for Barcelona with registered RAM @800Mhz with cas 5 on an server HT1.0 motherboard, while yorkfield's results are from a 2.33Ghz model @ HKEPC->2.4Ghz yorkfield would score 2% higher than HKEPC measured)Quote:

So we have K10 with regged cas 5 memory on older board scoring the same as Yorkfield on fully fledged desktop motherboard with unregged RAM.
Informal, I believe k10 is a good cpu, but unfairly to amd there is a lot of disappointment surrounding it.This is mostly the fault of yourself and the rest of the AMD horde, Stop hyping sh12 up so much. Every thing AMD has done since AM2 has been a disappointment because of the fanboys hyping. Just leave it and let the benchmarks speak, that is the ones you will deem to be important, and if they do not open a can on Intel the accept it, don't blame memory, pre release cpu, bad bios , wrong chipset etc etc
My point was that Phenom is competitive(per clock) with Penryn,that's all.And this is with having 3x less cache(total amount) and 3 vs 4 issue cores.Talk about efficiency and IPC...
And BTW,i don't have a "horde" ,unlike some of you intel fans who have a habbit to come in large numbers and crash'n'burn every single amd thread(look at the number of locked threads due to name calling,harsh words etc.)
