Wow, that 9950 is power hungry. Eek. They gotta get that down. Not bad performance, but it's still the same architecture so it's gonna lag behind Intel in many things. |

I don't really like re-releases of a same core just with "higher clocks" -- if its the same architecture why not just release it with the rest of the series? |
|
Yeah but at least there getting more up to speed. I hate to say it but even as an AMD enthusiast who's thinking about building a new system I don't know. The power is no issue I'm looking at either the HYPER 885 or 1200 watt unit for power so thats no issue at all. However Intel is supposed to release a totally new CPU in the next 6 months. With the last 2 years of results in processor output and the performance variables I might have to just go intel and DDR3. |

rapid, perhaps youd be interested in uying my 1250 watt psu? |
|
I have faith in AMD -- look what just happened between ATI and nVidia! I believe DAMIT is just starting to get their feet under them from the merger way back and beginning to make headway....its only a matter of time I say this as no fanboi of either AMD or Intel -- just as a guy hoping for good competition

Hey guys, I have been tweaking some Phenoms and I have found some interesting stuff. Amd phenom is performing better on higher resolutions given the same video card. Would you guys mind testing this for me ? It would really be helpful. In particular the 9950 even though the 9850 would still be good if that is all you have access to. |

I am bumping this. I am suprised no one is as curious as me. |
