Pretty much confirms what alot have been saying while people reported ultra low temps. They simply read wrong data or just bugged diodes.Originally Posted by [XC] gomeler
The biggest issue I have though is the lack of temperature readings, I'm currently using a thermalprobe wedged up against the IHS of the actual CPU to get a ballpark figure :-\ It's reading around 55C at idle while the thermal diodes on the chip still read 19C
For gaming Phenom 2 looks horrible. With basicly Q9400 area for the 940.
Thats a LOOOONG road to 2011 for Phenom 2. 3.2 or 3.4Ghz I guess with a 2ghz NB (AM3 is 2Ghz NB) might be the fastest on stock in its lifetime. 3.0Ghz seems to be the top for 2009 according to AMD roadmaps.
i5 in summer 2009. 32nm i7 in winter 2009. 32nm i5 in 2010. 32nm i8? in late 2010....
