You mean a stable 2.8Ghz and 3Ghz under LN2?Originally Posted by Lightman
I would be satisfied with 2.8GHz and pleased with 3.0GHz under 1.45Vcore
Will hold on till KTE tests his 9600BE today or tomorrow on MSI K9A2 Plat
IMO these cpu's need to be at 3Ghz atleast to compete. The few pounds extra for a Q6600 now seems trivial since you can now get a decent quad mobo for £75.
What I am really frightened of is if INTEL ever get the idea in their head to kill AMD all it would take would be for them to make Q6600's with an unlocked multi or release them at 3Ghz stock speeds with no price hike. I purchased a Q6600 myself a few weeks back and was literally blown away at how easy it is to take to 4Ghz nevermind 3Ghz. I can only assume someone at INTEL must love AMD since it looks like they've restricted they're cpu's to keep AMD in the game.
A year or so after INTEL launch quads and AMD all this time later launch they're version which bombs in comparison
There simply are no words to describe my dismay
The only remedy I can see is if AMD quit messing and release ALL they're ES cpu's as retail to give as many users who wish to purchase one a fighting chance. At this rate we may see a 3Ghz stable Phenom on air by next december.
Or indeed, I wonder how long it would take AMD to resolve these issues if everyone stopped purchasing their sub-standard rejects?
