    Expreview tests Kuma 6500[chinese version]-OCs to 3.4Ghz,air

    Link

    They got stable 3Ghz on default Vcore and stable 3.3Ghz on 1.43V.
    3.4Ghz was achieved with 1.45V but i can't figure out if it was prime stable or not.It was tested on Foxconn A79A-S(790FX+SB750) and standard 9850's stock cooler.

    They tested only with lowish 2.3/1.8Ghz clocks(default) against Brisbane @2.3 and 2.6Ghz,which it demolishes pretty much in every aspect and seems to OC better then K8 G2 dual cores also.

    it's better then any x2 on the market then if 3.4ghz is max clock (average)
    Brisbane top 3.3ghz.

    byt the looks of it. /CPU-z B3 stepping

    sersouly I didn't think they would go that low.

    what's next a sempron single core with the 2mb of L3 cache....

    or is the next Athlon lol

    but K10 is more higher performance than k8, dont know it? 3Ghz X2 6500+ is similary as any 3.9GHz K8.

Synthetic benchies dont mean a damn thing to me because theyre coded for Intel arch to begin with (you can quote me on that. Ask the software devs. They will confirm this). AMD needs to pour on the L3 to give these chips breathing room.

    It looks like the X2 6500 is a pretty good gaming CPU vs. the E5200, if it is priced at $70-80 then it will actually be a good value.

    I really don't understand why AMD has to clock this so low, at even 2.6GHz/2.0GHz it would be a lot more competitive and would be either a competitive or even better choice than the E5200 for people not overclocking. 2.3GHz/1.8GHz on a dual core CPU just seems ridiculous.

    If we equivalate these chips to 1MB L3 per CPU core...


    Heka BE is going to kick quite some ass. 2MB L3 per core, faster L3s, and another additional core. I reckon even Lynnfield needs its rear-view mirror checked.


    And ignore IT168. Horrible Radeon 4850 review, horrible Radeon 4670 review, what's next in line? Oh. Can't say it's unexpected for their calibre.

    I doubt that. AMD might fully have a Penryn competitor though, but obviously with much inferior performance/watt.

    And you base this claim on your dreams or what?!
    FYI,Heka is 45nm and we've seen that first 45nm quad core Pehnom chips draws 90% less power than 65nm equivalent(clock-wise).

    And we've also seen the first 45nm quad core Core 2 Quads do the same. The main difference is that 65nm Core 2 Quads already use less power than 65nm Phenoms, so Intel's power drop at 45nm is even more impressive.

    Oh really?How about waiting on the actual review of 45m Dual/tr/quad chip before proclaiming C2Q a winner?
    Also,you should look at the whole system power consumption since intel chips don't have the burden of IMC to deal with(since you can't measure the power consumption of the on board northbridge separately on intel setup).

    How about AMD fans stop proclaiming Heka a Lynnfield competitor before an actual review.

    System power consumptions tend to favor Intel even more than Intel's power advantage in CPUs would suggest.

    Yes, why do you considering how badly Phenom has underperformed your expectations for the last year.

    I didn't know Phenom's were so bad they let EVERYONE down....I have never been let down. Mine all perfomed well. I think AMD could have let out higher clocked ones...and this 6500 will be fine..and it will OC fine. I believe clock for clock it is faster then any AMD dual core. AMD's hiaghest priced chip is a 9950 (unlocked multi) for $175.00. So don't compare it to a $1000.00+ Intel chip.

    Our little section of the world has been invaded by fanboyism... Ugh, it hurts too much.

    As usual, I'm with Charged on this one...... Why do people care so much about the brand of their processor. I think I care about my toenail clipper more. Why all the vitriol, I dunno.

    Fact is, AMD stuff works fine, and is just as fun to play with as Intel stuff. Most of us who have both don't get so emotionally charged over which processor has better (alphabet soup to follow TDP, IPC, CPW, DMV, DHS)

    My games work just fine, as does windows vista, as well as linux. Heck, I'm pretty hard pressed to tell which processor my software runs on once the machine is booted ya know!

    more BS from emotional 15 year olds.... gotta love it

    I read once that someone claimed that their AMD processor was actually capable of opening notepad. Right...what a newbz0r.

    Phenom's reputation is much like Vista's. Everyone who doesn't have it hates it because they heard it is bad. A few people who do have it hate it because they wanted to going in. Most of the owners are probably happy for the most part.

    I know I am.
    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Rule 3:
    When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    Random Tip o' the Whatever
    You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
