this is true?
the web of the link is down...
Well it's Agena(65nm) core running at higher clocks.The Northbridge/L3 clock of 1.8Ghz is a letdown of sorts,i expected 2Ghz.It can bring nice improvements overall.
I don't understand why didn't they test gaming or multimedia perf. Those tests they used are nice,but tell us pretty much nothing.
Also,that 3.4Ghz @1.47V,was that stable OC or not?
looks about like expected....after all its just half of a phenom.
Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.
Rule 1A:
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.
Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.
Rule 2A:
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.
Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!
Interesting toy, but I think these K10 X2's only shine on 3Ghz+

Kinda pointless now that Deneb and crew are right around the corner.
I'm really curious about the upcoming Athlon X4's - will be interesting to see how they perform without an L3 cache at all.

bout time we had something that could compete with the E6420, personally i cant wait for when 2008 rolls around and phenom gets released
Some scores are low. I had a x2 3600+ (the 256KB cache one) running at 2600mhz and scored higher than that 5200+ at 2.7Ghz in the 3dmark06 cpu test.

it's pointless to compare this CPU with twice more expensive C2D 8000 series...
BTW it works @ 3GHz w/o any voltage change... just upping up the multi, and 3.3 GHz is basically top prime stable freq. for all K10 on air including this one... and it only takes ~100 mV above default voltage...
Adobe is working on Flash Player support for 64-bit platforms as part of our ongoing commitment to the cross-platform compatibility of Flash Player. We expect to provide native support for 64-bit platforms in an upcoming release of Flash Player following the release of Flash Player 10.1.
Well probably less tests because it's still under NDA.
And Jack is right in what he say;s.
I've asked them same question today: Why now, when we have Denebs so close? Because dualcores is a big market and it's better to do that late than never, especially that AM3 CPUs will be compatible with AM2+ mobos.
Friends shouldn't let friends use Windows 7 until Microsoft fixes Windows Explorer (link)
hate to say it but exactly. At the way it scales no one would give a second look to anything with less than 3.2ghz stock clocks, and 4ghz oc's(Prescott's spiritual brother). Still its good to see reviews looking at them, part of me just doesn't wanna here anymore Agena with Deneb soo soon to release.
if they had released this earlier!!! i was always waiting for something like this..
common guys who rly needs a quadcore ... it's fun for Benching yeah.. but a good clocked DualCore will do the job right.
