new AMD Phenom II x4 965 coming

[JohnZS]

As stated by myself previously in this thread, why on Earth has AMD gone down this nonsensical naming route?
I just misread this thread as AMD 965 killer (as in AMD had a CPU able to compete with the Core i7 965)

Because that is what AMD marketing want people to believe, they are preying on the ignorant.

to be honest i think their naming scheme seems quite simple, and ways laid out ages ago, so people would understand the path

As the i7 is making up about 1% of Intel’s sales,

Our conversation appeared to be about now, it was certainly what I was talking about in referencing PhII 955 & 965. But to make it look like your point was valid, you have to go back to PhII 940?


We know from most recent sales figures breakdowns that the shoppers are not yet choosing i7 in great numbers, thus my statements about C2 derivatives being what PhII is most relevantly compared to, unquestionably holds true.


I was clearly addressing the broader market, if you want to refer to minority situations it would be better to address someone talking about minority situations.


I'm referring to pricing since the introduction of Conroe.


Then why did you call the PhII 965 a failure?

Simple. i7 makes up a hell of lot more than 1% of Intel's processor sales. That means what you saying is Wayyyyyyyyy off there buddy! Oh and Chad, if you think PhII 965 or even 955 as well is mass produced you're fooling yourself.

Failure, where? It fails is not the same as saying it is a failure. It falls short of its name. Again Chad, the similarities to the Prescott are haunting Where were such arguments while AMD shipped a few thousand FX processor for 999 to 1399 dollars? IMHO, only some one on Crack would think AMD wouldn't (rightly I might add) do the same thing again.

I went back to PhII 940 because that's when I bought my Q9550. I didn't buy it last week or even 3 weeks ago. NONE of the PhII's that sounds like their Intel name sakes come close in performance. Thank goodness for their prices. Yet, if AMD can't come up with something better, those prices stay at sub $300 and they stay in the red. The next AMD processor needs to compete with an Intel i7 950 so AMD as can at least ask for $500.

PS:remove thread to AMD section please. Thank you.

reborn of Phenom II times with LN2 few days ago. I was lazy reinstall OS for this. I used HHD with 990FX with 890FX board etc. I tried some benchmarks with my x4 965 BE again....

maxclock 6659.9


superpi1M



Superpi 32M


PiFast


Wprime 32M


I tried after wprime 1024M, but I have some issues-BSODs again and again and later I had no more LN2 for enxt runs

Cinebench R11.5, with only -70 C (I had no more LN2 )


I wish to have more, more times. Still I have untested x4 970 BE (LN2), x6 1090T BE, A10-5600K, A10-5800K and second A8-3870K.

You revived a 4 year old thread....
That's bad and you should feel bad.

[Kain665]

Don't revive threads in the news section even if they have a relevant subject just because you want more traffic. That's a no-no!

[kromosto]

another zombie thread :P

[FlanK3r]

I made mistake,srry (i thought, is it from AMD section first), and I edited later it with moe this thread to AMD section, if is it possible

[Cordell Cahill]

Nice clocks Was thinking about picking one of these up for a media server

[Buckeye]

Moved to AMD section per OP request.
