Quad Core Round Up: AMD Vs Intel Clock to Clock(deneb vs agena + deneb vs intel)

[Chad Boga]

you weren't saying the exact thing. you were arguing in ways of why deneb wasn't going to be good. i remember you saying that it wasn't going to be that great because all it was was a die shrink and a larger cache. from what we have seen its much more than that with how well it can overclock. but we cool?

I was saying its IPC increase wouldn't be that much more significant than is usually the case with shrinks and cache increases and specifically said that 15 to 20% IPC increase claims were ludicrous.

You and others were outraged I was making such claims.

I never stated it would be a poor overclocker.

Terrific review guys, cheers...^^

Shouldn't this be in the Xtreme News or AMD subforum though?

This is the clock-for-clock comparison for Agena and Deneb.

Put some 2.4+ at deneb's nothbridge and u will see how far behind is the phenom II...(i've seen 920 phenom II @ 2.6 easily...)

I'm pretty sure every intel guy would do this in his kentsfield/yorkfield when he would overclock....(if they had one )

So i'm pretty sure phenom II has some aces in his sleeve....

We have the fsb, and look what it does!!

U are already high on fsb at 3.7 to 4 .
Phenom II can go to 3.7 -4 and tweak tha nb at whatever speed u want.
@ 2.6nb and some ddr3 maybe we will have nice numbers. Here we aren't just overclockers we tweak everything.
Yorkfield's everything is just fsb which u already tweak...

@64bit windows phenom II kick ass too mate u aren't even informed.

Vozer, could you make the deneb vs kentsfeld and deneb vs yorkfield comparison? and if you have time, yorkfield vs kentsfield...
