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

[Zucker2k]

Well to be fair for that comparison to be chew worthy you'd need to lower the phenom's clock but raise tits northbridge, htt and hypertransport clocks.

Also likely the memory because I havnt seen any with good mhz and timings.

Edit: under closer inspection 1gb 400mhz memory vs. 8gb 1000mhz memory...

Sigh! Please point us to the evidence that more ram helps cinebench. If anything, my NB is being tasked with such high fsb and 8Gbs. This is my everyday system and this is currently the hardware config. that's all. Of course, you guys can consider this a target when you get your PIIs. All you hear is excuses, DDR3, Expensive, Hot, etc.

This is a Q9550 with 8GB of cheap DDR2 ram at DDR2 990Mhz with loose timings.
