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

[Chad Boga]

I think a lot of people who were waiting to upgrade to i7 will probably end up with Phenom 2 systems. Great performance, better prices, awesome overclockability... An unlocked extreme chip for less than $350, how can you not want to go amd!

PhII in my view is competing more against the E8400, E8500 & Q9550 than the i7, so what Intel does on pricing in the next month or two, will have a massive impact on how well the PhII fares in sales.

If Intel lowers prices so will amd, actually i'm hoping that happens asap

It just blows my mind that people seem to be upset or even angry that we have such great competition and choices atm.

Here Here!!!

In the right hands PhII is going to gonna give most of the Yorkie/Kents a run for their money, and I7's don't seem to be all that impressive gaming anyway...

Seems like a Win/Win for consumers... Thanks AMD.

Who do you think is angry or upset over great competition or choices?

hes just saying that all the intel fanboys are mad that deneb doesn't completely suck. when it works to their advantage that deneb comes out and is highly competitive.

Yeah I don't understand some people here. Deneb will be good for all.....

1. It will make Core i7/C2Q cheaper due to competition.(For Pro Intel guys)
2. It will make current Phenoms cheaper and the refresh of PII is exciting.(For Pro AMD guys)

...what's to complain about really. I think ALL folks should wait until Deneb is released if they want to save money when they upgrade.

hell i can't wait to get rid of this 9600. not even a black edition. i can't wait for it.

Yeah, the 9600's aren't that great. The B.E 9950's/9850's aren't that far behind Phenom II 920 performance so that's a cheap viable upgrade. Looking at the review in the thread shows the Agena is no punk. For me I don't really need the newest nor the fastest. Just wanna play my games for the least possible cost.
