Phenom X4 vs. Yorkfield tested in Crysis

[mad_skills]

Actually Helmut I go with the flow, if AMD deserve my money they get it, just as they did from the Thunderbird onwards.. but right now Intel gets the cash because they are the performance kings

That's the smart way to do things.. fanboys are for kids

if you like AMD and insist on having their cpu in your rig no matter the situation that doesn't make you a fanboy..
fanboy is some1 who has AMD right now and says that it's better than Intel despite the obvious advantage in favour of Intel..

Yeah I really must bone up on my fanboy definitions.. it's critical to the survival of our species

[mad_skills]

no need to be so sarcastic, i was not judgmental in any manner..

just by your definition i would be a fanboy of amd and i'm not, i just prefer it over intel..

Hang on.. that is the definition of a fanboy

[mad_skills]

i believe i've given you the def. up there
no matter, still i like how the new X4 looks like..should be a good buy..

I disagree, I see a fanboy as someone who stands by the company regardless of the situation, and supports their every practice, their every press release, backs up everything they say, and says things like "intel is grabage, I will never buy intel". I prefer amd, just like i prefer K2 skis over others. Doesn't mean I wouldn't go to another alternative. In fact I almost bought an E21xx this summer, but due to motherboard costs, I had to decide against it. A fanboy only sees one option, the other is just ridiculous, and a fanboy constantly insults and dismisses any other alternative.

And back on topic we go..... using a res like 640X480 is always the best method of testing cpus heads up. You want to remove ALL videocard limiting factors. Turn off all the AA/AF, VSync, etc. Run it looking horrid but the point it to obtain maximum FPS. You never see those sorts of benchmarks being performed. Any test of 1280 on up will have some sort of GPU limiting effecting the results. And once you have 4 cores pushing data through 4 threads it will be even more critical to test at low resolutions if you want to see a real cpu performance test.

Well a good start would be you not bumping it

My definition of a fanboy is ... Anyone from the intel forums that can't stop themselves from threadcrapping in the AMD forums.

That's the kind of class division that's dividing this great nation

hell I'm happy they got teh bugger to 3ghz. I'm sure there is ALOT of optimization to be done on the board. Anyone who had pre-release AM2 boards will attest to the AWEFUL performance of those. Not that AM2 has set the world on fire mind you, but the AMD/ATI refernce sahara board was WOW, the poo. Looked like the Jawa's got ahold of it and soldered on it, and performed like a Lepper at a kissing booth!

[Rickster_64]

What's the official Phenom availability date?

[PhilDoc]

November the 19th if what was reported is correct

Stop posting. You offer nothing intuitive, or insightful on the subject. You spam this thread, and your trolling cannot be tolerated. So stfu. Thanks.

Stay on the thread topic, otherwise start your own thread. This was extreamly disrespectful, and I dont agree with it.

News flash Jethro.. it is my thread.. wow even god is embarrassed for you

I don't understand these geeks that get upset when they don't get the results they expect.. just go with whoever is offering the best price/performance ratio.. fanboys are for kids!

How about this, the next flame comment I see in here, the offender will take a 3 day.

It is possible to discuss something, like it or not, without flaming, learn it.

Consider this an only warning.

I've got to say that I'm glad to see a gaming bench (all be it a demo) with a Phenom. But then again as someone pointed out earlier, don't really get the 8.** minimum FPS with the Phenom.

[mad_skills]

November the 19th if what was reported is correct

and anyone knows the starting price?

[nemrod]

The important question is not the average but as some have already see before in this thread, why the phenom has only 8fps for the lower value. Is it really bad configuration, bad test or does that mean we should expect unpleasant frame drop in game.

No but it is in english in the screenshoot

[mad_skills]

it's enough to understand..

[Calmatory]

People can expect phenoms to be sold @ December, there won't be many phenoms shipped in november, and the shippings will fully start in late december.

Semi-paper launch!

Just my guess.

I think it is some kind of bug (made on purpose or not) in Crysis benchmark.
I did a quick test on my setup and at 1680x1050 my lowest fps was 16.xx then I used default bench resolution which is 1024x768 and, guess what, 6.xx fps!!


This speak for itself...
