the rumour is true and its been prove. but clock for clock still behind Core 2. the 3.4Ghz maybe will be like Q6600 at 3Ghz or 3.2Ghz? i wish that guy doen some benchmarks.
Articles on Tomshardware show that a 3ghz AMD Phenom X4 is *about* what is needed to take on a Q6600 at 2.4ghz so I doubt a 3.4ghz Phenom X4 can take on a Q6600 at 3 to 3.2ghz.
How much will they be? Also.. with this auto OC and the fact that it will allow 4 video cards, and the new 4870's coming out. This might be a good marketing plan for AMD. Lets hope.. Even if the cpu's don't out perform Intels the package as a whole might?
Yeah. The untitled paint window in the toolbar does make this smell like a great big load of FUD!
But, for AMD's sake I hope it is true.
@ iliuvgillgill - can you provide a link to the where you got that picture?

Candy asked me if she died if I could go on
Of course I said I couldn't and of course we knew that's wrong
But Candy I said Candy no you can't do that to me
Because you love me way to much for you to ever leave
Nah. OC is not free.
Most of the time you need :
+ a good motherboard (cheap boards with integrated graphics don't overclock well)
+ good cooling (more expensive than stock, which you pay for anyway as OEM chips are hardly cheaper than RETAIL)
+ Black Edition or Extreme Edition chips (again you pay for the extra)
It's nice to see AMD quadcores overclocking beyond 3.0GHz. Sadly Intel's top range quadcores overclock beyond 4.0GHz. So I guess that ~25% margin clock for clock becomes a ~50% margin with actual performance when both are overclocked.
EDIT: I sometimes use paint to create screenshots. It's handy if you don't have the full range of applications on the OC disk image. No reason to suspect FUD for now. Official reviews will make it clear how it performs in due time.

Indeed the new 4850's and 4870's will do the trick.
I think the SB750 motherboards should be common pretty soon.
@JDocs
If you have a rubish board the unlocked multiplier can help a bit. Cheap boards usually don't have voltage settings so that's a bit irrelevant, yes.
Overclocks under 10% are not really noticable in 99% of real world applications (but most of the time neither are higher overclocks unless you care about benchmakrs ).
@amdfangirl:what?i only read that from the forum.i know nothing about it.and barely any about AMD. you should know that! i learn alot from you and a few other firing at me!lol
@Andrius: when its base on the same chipset and they update it so you get the OC it is supposed to get AT THE FIRST PLACE. this is what i try to say. P31 and P35 is different so buying the either one get each of their OC ability.

Not really. Take a Q6600 OC to the same speeds and add in either 4 4870s or 2 4870X2s and it will be the same. Only the Intel chip will outperform the Phenom and you will be able to use more of the CFX system.

Yup, the conspiracy theory... besides were did you get these pics anyway...
