Phenom 9500 w/ MSI K9A2 Platinum

[KTE]

Working out K10 native quad and X2 dual MCM quad there Achim.

Yes if it was dual-core it would be as you stated. BUt that's different to what I worked out.

You don't need 1.6V for 3.3GHz on X2 5000 BE+. At 24A per core, many are getting 3.3GHz stock volts, I had mine at 3360MHz stock volts stable, which is 1.35V. If it's dual chips on one die they would both run the same at the same TDP. Like Kentsfield, the TDP is just double (65W x 2 = 130) for the MCM.

I know. Just want to add dual core k8/k10 values. The TDP calculations I made where for an theoretical overclocked dual core k10.
Looking at the dual core values I can understand why they focus on lower power consumption first, as the BE-2400 has a 45W TDP vs. the approximated 70W a dual-core K10 whould require atm.

Yeah you don't need to tease me with mentioning my favorite daily chip there.

So still no BE-2350 in sight over there?
I appreciate your comparison as the 65W TDP cpu compares better vs. the phenom due to the similar TDP. I'll order an 5000BE this week for an office-rig and put my 3800EE in it instead.
