AMD To Crank Up Phenom II Clock-Speeds Upto 3.50 GHz, Planning New Models

[adamsleath]

And people who dont OC will be quite attracted by this as well.

which is still the majority if buyers. (i think)

I dont know what your problem is, whether it's sarcasm, a joke or epic phailure, it was a useless post.

And if you try to tell me Im not a normal thinking person, go ahead, but you already told your self you ain't one, so why would I take you serious at all.

Damn, that was pretty much an open door

PS:

More and nothing of substance; your argument about why Intel won't release a 3.5GHz quad is laughable.

What part exactly didnt you get? What is your contribution for arguing over someone's use of smiles? What's your contribution for claiming yourself to be a normal thinking person?

Instead I made a pretty good post about stability etc, regarding that, it's like a bit hard to argu over stability if we dont know the definition of it. But instead of discussing over that, you chose to pick on irrelevant stuff. Way to go
Also, if you would actually pay attention, you would have seen there's no 200~300Mhz drop under 64-bit OS's anymore. It's a lot less now, the difference is there, but not as bad as with Ph. Some even dont have any difference (and fine tuning OS's doesnt gain you a clock AFAIK).

Is AMD a good chip to own anymore?

It's easy to tell if it is: just look for the ratio of flame threads to non-flame threads. If it's high, then that means that both companies are competitive and the fanboys are out in full force.

Haha, nice one

Anyway, to be honest, any modest CPU nowadays is already pretty much good enough.

Ive been running a 9850BE on stock for months because of the ACC issue. And surely there would have been a difference between a 3Ghz and a 2.5Ghz clocked B3, however I didnt (severely) lack in performance in anything I played/used those months.

In the end people are just pointing too much on the numbers, but IMO, numbers ain't saying anything. A GPU can hit 500% more fps than it's competitor, 20fps more on average than its competitor, but what is it worth if it hits for the majority of the time a 10fps low?

I noticed the same thing & that goes for NV & ATI as well.

i thought marketers already got laid off, they re still here, hah!

That's actually how my observation was made. ATI flame threads had pretty much died out during the R600 and R670 eras due to a lack of competition at the high end, but then NV fanboys were out in full force once the R700 series was released

QFT! They make about 20 posts in EVERY thread like these.

180 degrees wrong on that one. Phenom II came out and got stomped by i7 and many of the usual suspects hid Flames? Flames were the only thing some posters had since there weren't any real competition to flame over or about.
