So you know I've just tested the Yorkfield QX9650,a friend of mine just came here and brought one for testing.

Conclusion, IT IS CRAP!

I mean, well...it's a really good CPU, of course it's top of the line, but we didn't see any difference in Crysis compared to my 3ghz overclocked Q6600. We tested it at stock frequency against the Q6600 overclocked. It is a wallet killer and the gain is minimal or none.

Multithreading on this game IS a LIE! The CEO of Crytek indeed lied for marketing vaporware reasons. This game doesn't run better on a Yorkfield. I'm telling you this depends a lot on the Video Card, and mine so far is the best : FOR NOW of course

That means I'm not buying this for +US$1000 against my G0 friend at US$270.

I guess I'm waiting for Nehalem, we will have to change the socket anyway, that means a new mobo by the end of 2008.
