Moti Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) Well I have a few friends in the computer business. An personally once I am older, I would like to become a part of it. Anyways I've also heard that amd is saying it has a 20 percent performance gain over their current stuff, and they're going to be shipping them with higher clocks this time. In the 2.6 - 3.0ghz range. Also they're going have more cache and hopefully that can help them media guys. But I am not sure if they can catch up from a business point of view, intel raped them with 65nm, so they took the whole market out and amd kept on having issues with putting out their 65nm parts. But once they got out barcelona, after a few steppings, it was as fast as intel's offering in the 65nm range. But then intel quickly put out a true quad core and their 45nm stuff, not two dual cores on one die, because they had made so much profit they could easily research and design quicker now. But anyways now intel is trying to copy amd's deal on the memory controller and make it onboard on the CPU, which is supposedly coming out december/january. Well if they can't get it working smoothly, then there might be a chance for AMD to catch up, because this is a new design in the CPU area for Intel and AMD has already had this technology refined for ages. This is the same technology that made everybody crazy for those Athlon's and Opterons. But anyways AMD's 45nm Server processors are rolling out this month hopefully, and then their consumer equipment will roll out. WHY? Well they don't want to loose any market shares on server processors, because thats currently how they're holding up against intel, but if Intel gets that working in Nehalem, AMD is going to be in more deep shit. The reason companies use AMD server procs is because of their crazy memory bandwidth. AMD's stuff is going to be called Shanghai, well at least that is its codename, and with that 20 percent increase, hopefully it will put AMD on Intel's radar.

iggster1986 Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 qx9650 and qx9770 are pretty much identical cpus both can achieve the same clock speeds Best cpus hands down best motherboard asus extreme rampage x48 for ati video cards and evga 790i digital ftw for nvidia BUT nahalem is around the corner if you want to wait 2 months better stuff will be out..

-z71. Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Striker II Extreme nForce 790i SLI with a Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 3.20GHz That is what i wpould buy for myself right now, u know me mr meade:) Lol even if it is the "extreme" it's still intel.......Intel blows AMD Phenom 9950 FTMFW! http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/hairtrick.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iggster1986 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Lol even if it is the "extreme" it's still intel.......Intel blows AMD Phenom 9950 FTMFW! http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/hairtrick.gif Why do you think that? Both left at stock both are about the same Now intel overclocks way higher and rules all 3dmark benchmarks I know the qx9650 can go to 6ghz+ for benching On water mines runs at 4.5 Do you have a CPUz screenshot of your phenom? Or some 3dmark benchmarks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herrie_V Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Lol even if it is the "extreme" it's still intel.......Intel blows AMD Phenom 9950 FTMFW! http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/hairtrick.gif Pfff fanboy's... We all dont have the same opinion. So, finally amd got a better proc? For how long it's gonna take hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
