Vishera 5Ghz FX-9000/8770

it was the same way on these forums, even when amd was king. didn't matter how much better IPC, or Mhz for Mhz the amd did better. cause its always been intel fanboy getaway. was always about, no one just games, ppl video edit etc where HT had an edge.
but naw, it was a niche did that then where intel was king just like a niche does games like that. the intel niche again.

but other then that. $300 for 4.7Ghz one seems awesome. Can't wait for socket FM3 and the ati values. more technology upgrades, knowing that is the direction to more performance.

besides, these are really just modules, in reality its very similar to hyperthreading with addiciton interger cores. next comes the 8 fpu and intergers. with fm3 and beyond

You can't be serious. AMD gets the benefit of the doubt more than any other company out there on these forums and most in general. A product like Sandybridge E, Ivy bridge E/ivy-bridge or even Haswell were given a lukewarm to negative reception by forum goers. So it shouldn't come to a surprise when people hammer on a up clocked vishera with 4 to 5 times the price and its the same silicon as their cheap processors.

If AMD was judged by the same standards as Intel processors, nothing positive could be said from a technological stand point.

A maxed clocked Nehalem is still faster than a max clocked Vishera. And nehalem was released in 2008.

People just expect a lot from technology nowadays and they are hard to impress.

When AMD was king, everyone liked them. Intel fanboys included. The problem as, particular as a pure CPU part, they haven't released anything exciting for the enthusiast in years(this forum) from a performance standpoint. It also didn't help that JF-AMD lied to people about bulldozer and got people to commit to the platform by buying the motherboard instead of going Intel by hyping up bulldozer.
