AMD Shanghai/Deneb Review Thread

[Caveman787]

Well whatever makes it easier for poorer folks like me

[Throwed]

yea its pretty crazy it looks like the 920 is going to be equal to the 940 almost. just slightly lower overclocks. sorta like how it is now with the 9850 and 9950 they are pretty much the same.

Agreed. Hell I may get a cheaper 920 then get a high end AM3 later since I plan on dropping Denebs in all my AMD systems(3).

[gallag]

The gods have smiled on us AMD folkz! The mods finally broke out the ban stick.

That guy pissed everyone off, Not just AMD folkz

i bet many people are going to do the same. i just wish i knew what the prices were.

Agreed. He was the 1st person ever that I wanted to see banned from here. I like it here in the AMD section. Aside from the occasional Intel troll, I really enjoy the info and enthusiast in here. Now, anyone know how much the 920's are going for?

EDIT: LOL at Roofsniper....Great minds think alike. We thought the same thing. You beat me to the punch by a few seconds though.

I would say below Q9300/Q9400... but initial prices may be higher.

It seems HardOCP does have a Phenom II in their hands but NDA is not over yet? http://www.hardocp.com/news.html?new...VzaWFzdCwsLDE=

Phenom II shows up in the HardForums. First thread with pics and specs and a second thread with benchmarks. Seems they were for sale as well. Two sites had Phenom II 940 and 920 processors for sale, but they have been pulled. For the record, I would not expect to see any official Phenom II information from [H]ard|OCP until the second week of January, as AMD seems to be making us hold our information till it is worthless as far as any surprises. But I will say this, I don't think we would have anything surprising to show you anyway, unless you actually had high expectations for Phenom II. If you own a socket AM2+ motherboard, I would not throw it out quite yet, but I damn sure would not be purchasing a new one.

Yeah, some pretty harsh language in that quote; a disclaimer?

[charged3800z24]

Looks good. I am going to try and get one of each.. just for comparison in OCing...

Well seeing the hack job that THG did with OC'ing the Phenom II I'm going to take their negative opinion lightly

We all need to look at a broad range of benchmarks from different sources to really see what we have on our hands here. Just the fact that it is considerably better than Phenom I, looks like it OC's like intel chips finally, and is reasonably priced, is enough for me to pick one up.

[SkullCracka]

well so far i see i7 with = to lower OC's but they have a much higher clocking qpi/ht and NB. why is this? is i7 native quad or did they just move the nb on chip?
i am askin here for obvious reasons.



most here understand its the total system bandwidth and platform. not just what you can do with your cpu in superpi. LOL

i7 is a native quad and yes it has an imc on the cpu now.

[SkullCracka]

well i knew the imc on cpu now. just wasnt sure why there qpi/ht and nb clock so high.

its it showing tripple data rate were the ati shows single data rate??? hmmmmmmmm

I don't follow Intel prices. A numeric value please!

[Rammsteiner]

920 started as early pre-order with a price tag of 226 Euro, will be around that and drop after a while after release.

[Tenkura]

In Finland cheapest 920 cost 203€.

[dread77]

PhenomII 940 is available for sale in the Greek since this morning. You don't want to know the final price.... 300 EUR!!!!!

For sale as in pre-order or really available as well?

300 Euro is very high though, I only paid 266 for that thing. Then again, I dont have it yet

[Rammsteiner]

920 is down to 207 Euro pre-order

[diekul]

920 is down to 207 Euro pre-order

I pre-ordered it for 198 at azerty.nl (dutch shop)

Yesterday for a few hours it dropped below 200 lol and now it is back at 208.

[leoy]

Weird thing is that it is 24hours delivery. And one shop even has it for sale at the shop, not only by internet.Greece

[informal]

Yeah that was posted before.The same dude(coolice) posted these pics here and we were discussing them in this thread a couple of pages back.
Justapost posted his scores at the same settings/clocks with Agena for comparison.
