AMD Phenom II 920 & 940 Full Review [UPDATED with more tests]

[OverClocker_gr]

I try again (since the first thread was closed):

OK. Back to results & facts.

Next relevant question about Cinebench10 (32-bits btw).

Why did "Overcklock gr" get so much better numbers for i920/i940 than for instance Xbitlabs?

i will check out if there is any flip between the 64bit and 32bit results.

this is your only problem?

the phenom II holds its own at its price and is on par with yorkfield(its compeition) on benchmarks that matter and close to i7 for gaming. to me its not nearly a budget system but i guess you are entitled to your own opinion. don't see how this will bother you much since you are "Intel & nVidia GeForce user, exclusively." id like to remind you of this: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=480

seems like a pretty good cpu but it looks like how it overclocks/scales will make it or break it.

PII holds it's own with Kentsfield, but on par with Yorkfield in clock for clock...well that I don't see especially when SSE benches come out. Overall it looks like around 6% better IPC then PI as expected.

PII holds it's own with Kentsfield if priced lower, but on par as clock for clock well that I don't see especially when SSE benches come out. Overall it looks like around 6% better IPC then PI as expected.

i want to get some pricing from amd but i doubt we will know that until the day it is released. or the night before as amd likes to do. in the stock benches deneb overtakes the q6600 and hangs with yorkfield. it seems to perform well when the fps is below 60 which is the refresh rate of most lcds out there. it also looks good on 64 bit but too bad there isn't many 64 bit applications out there.
