Man, what are you smokin'?Originally Posted by Jethro
Holy shiite theres alot of negativity surrounding this new cpu! Slower than intel lol whats new? Phenom will still sell and probably sell well.
Phenom is still a nice drop in replacement for any dual core am2 machines out there that will benifit from more smp power without a complete rebuild and it only stands to get better bottom line. I commend AMD for moving towards scalability and power considerations. Phenom will get faster, the new platform ROCKS and the new ATI products are awesome!! I think ALL of you naysayers are jumping the gun here.
I think AMD could have some nice things in store for me personally since i dont care about getting a quad and all! Im very excited (and in no rush) to upgrade to this new 700 series chipset, 3800 graphics and a next gen am2 part. Applly water cooling some serouis volts and voila compared to my current via based 939 setup it'l prolly knock me socks off! Mmmm SPIDER!!!! I may be in a minority but i simply cannot wait to try out that new overdrive software!
Since i've never owned a c2d system b/c there so dam expensive i wont know what im missing !!!!
However much slower ill be then a pricier Intel system, i'll still be folding, browsing and kicking your azz in some game some where just fine! Tis a great time to be a geek!!! Even an AMD one.
Intel stuff to expensive? But you want a new 700 series motherboard, 3800 GPU and a Phenom (AM2+) processor? Not to mention water cooling? AND your interested in Spider? Wow.
Intel parts are a bargain for how long their performance has held up. If you were truly interested in and concerned about price, you should have invested in a C2D system at launch so you didn't have to worry about AM2 and Phenom.
