Phenom matches Yorkfield clock per clock

AMD is catching up from what I see. And before you post please consider that were talking about same clock speeds.

it's disturbing to think that C2D E6850 defeats Phenom X4 at the same speed...

amen to that...but then again.. im just reiterating this :

what? i read in articles that the q6600 even beats the first Phenom processor out by AMD.

it's disturbing to think that C2D E6850 defeats Phenom X4 at the same speed...

amen again..and heres more:

Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Beats Phenom 9600

and talking about same speed.

a phenom 9500 / 9600 at 2.2ghz and 2.3ghz had to be overclocked to reach the 2.40 GHz stock speed of a C2Q6600

with just a very minimal performance gain.hotter.power consumption jump.. and limited headroom..

and cost a bit higher too.

and no BUGS.

" statement about the Phenom 9700

Somehow, we couldn't help but think back to the P60 as Dave Everitt informed the audience that a processor bug had found its way into the early Phenom processor samples. The bug causes the system to freeze when a certain combination of instructions coincides with extraordinarily high traffic.

This bug can only be reproduced in the lab but does not occur under normal, real-world conditions. It is still present in the 2.20 GHz and 2.30 GHz versions of the Phenom (9500 and 9600).

As a result of this bug, the 2.4 GHz version of the Phenom with the model number 9700 has been pushed back to January of 2008. When it comes out, that version will not contain the bug. "


caching up?...

i hope so...amd needs to fix this to stabilize chip prices and the intel monopoly.

for us consumers.
