It should be about 7-10% faster than FX62.

And still not as fast as a Core 2

I'm sure the thread would do without you mentioning that.

Doesnt matter if its priced competatively. If its cheap enough, then it will be the better value, if not C2D will.

if it is so, then won't the question be about future compatibility, I mean about future upgrades... etc :roll:

That will be one of several questions. At the rate CPU advancement and price drops are proceeding right now, socket upgradabilty may fall in relevance over the coming 18 months. If you can get both a new mobo and CPU at an attractive price, while still making use of all other existing hardware, then the question (in part) becomes one of willingness to reload the OS/software.

On the TomsHardware "Price/Performance" charts is should score almost exactly at 2.0 or so for a performance index

This makes it about 3% faster than an E6600 ($331) and about 6% slower than an E6700 ($518)

I would thus expect this to be about a $399 or so part based upon it's performance.

Really? I was thinking around 5% tops, as it's only 7% quicker in pure clockspeed, and most applications don't scale linearly with clockspeed. How you estimated up to 10% from a 7% clockspeed bump is beyond me, maybe AMD put some banned performance enhancing drugs into these chips. :wink: :lol:

It should scale worse than expected because the memory divider should cause it to run DDR2-800 at ~750MHz.

But wait, theres more! If you compare it to an AMD processor you bought 2 years ago, it's MUCH FASTER, and that is ALL THAT MATTERS... to Baron... :wink:
