    At least they're not called Phenom 20950 like it was initially rumored.. That would have been ridiculous.
    Oh and Donnie27 thinking about buying AMD? I had to look outside to see if the pigs started flying..

    Well, your defensive/offensive posting a long time back, which Im happy about, didnt really give a reason that you'd get an AMD anytime soon.

    Maybe I say it wrong... It's like you made make us, or me at least, think you trash the CPU manufacturer you dont use as your main system at that point.

    But as said, luckily that was quite a while ago already, and this post does not give you any permission to do it again, be it Intel or AMD

    PS, I still didnt know how to explain my point, but maybe you more or less know what I mean heh. I do know you had an AMD system though

    I will believe a 4 GHz OC when I see bench screenshots. Like is always stated here... "Screenshots or it didn't happen". Validated Screens too, and not some bench or tool that nobody uses.

    I've heard this too many times over the years and it has never materialized. If they pull it off great, and that's awesome.

    I wouldnt call AOD 'a tool that nobody uses' though, shame that, AFAIK, indeed validation was missing.

    Why can't you just have a conversation without acting like you're AMD yourself and something said about them is personal? I thought I gave a very good reason why Deneb is ahead FOR ME. I'm looking at either of the 920's and the performance to price ratio will be the deciding factor, not some misplaced love for either company. One more time, I'm a Fan of my Wallet, not Intel or AMD's. What's so hard for you to understand about being a consumer first?? Look a little closer at my negative comments made about Intel and AMD?

    I'd said months ago that if AMD shipped something worth a damned I'd buy it. Now I might simply put my money where I said I would.

    Just as most consumers do We saw this forum go from Intel to AMD and then back to Intel. Why wouldn't it swing again? I mean a real swing back to AMD and not a made up or imagined one.

    Now honestly, do you think Intel would hold off on Mainstream and Budget Nehalems if AMD had better products on the market? Or even if AMD had higher Volumes of Mid to Low range products? Competition is a must!

    That slides are sure good lookin - but it's like a movie trailer - I've never watched a trailer that sucks - all of the trailers really kick ass, and then the movie shows it's true form. Hope amd can pull this off and cut some of the performance they lack
    Don't say to us old timers bye-cracky, hehehe! That's just my resent history to prove a point. My first real computer was a Commie 64 in 1983, then an Atari 800XL, 286, 386 both built from the scrap in while I learned computers but they didn't belong to me. My next modern was an Pentium 100MHz about 15 years ago. I'm not exactly sure but the rest look something like, AMD-PR 150, Intel 133 & 166, Intel 200, 200 Pentium Pro, K-5 300, K6-2 380 replaced by a 400MHz K6-2 that really that actually worked at the advertised FSB, K6-3 400MHz as well I think. So add those before the other history. Either way, I've own more AMD than processors than Intel.

    I'd also take trade-in on upgrades and have 3 to 12 computers waiting to be given away or sold. I donate them to various organizations like the Boys & Club, Local Recreation Centers, Women's shelters and etc.... I usually run 4 computers in my home. That's why i'm not so in a hurry for Quad Core.
