Thoughts? Its supposed to oc better than the 955

 

[rooseveltdon]

Yeah they are basically the best 955 they have boxed up for those that want to overclock like ,it's going to cost a lot i presume lol

 

[sharken]

Wow what a deal, do it

 

[Andraxxus]

Yeah most likely it's going to cost. But if it overclock really good and they are not very expensive then why not?

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

Best used with WC or cooler, like phase. TWKR=FX?

I like it, maybe AMD can get some real income by selling some cherry-picked CPUs for a premium. Right now, they're hitting overclocks (extreme overclocks, not everyday ones) higher than i7, so all those overclockers with enough money to burn to hit a new record can go crazy.

 

[B-Unit]

Good point there, sell to any market that will take you, esp if their willing to pay alot.

Cherry-picked 955s, eh ? A 30% price -premium to have 50% as fast FLOATS as an i920. If you catch the B&M sales going around i920 kit is even cheaper !!

AMD can't have sails cause they haven't mast(ered) the chips hehe he. WooHoo AMD socks-it-to the fansbois again.

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

Wow, what an e peen. Maybe people just want to oc their chips? Maybe to 7Ghz on a quad?

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

Let me put it this way. I know AMD needs all the help it can get. As an enthusiast, I see the need for a stronger AMD.
Also, as an enthusiast, Id like to see enthusiasm grow for PC computing/gaming/ocing etc. Given the fact that maybe AMD is extending beyond most peoples realms with this cpu doesnt mean it isnt justified, actually quite the opposite from where Im coming from.

 

[megamanx00]

OMFG I want one. I'm waiting for prices to come down on the 955 darn it, how dare they tempt me now .

 

[roofus]

I think they could price it somewhere between the Intel 920 and 950. It isnt like it would be a ripoff if it is a good oc'er. Their quads are too cheap. It is good for consumers and good for gaining marketshare but it cant be closing the gap on operating in the black very fast.

 

[witcherx]

WOW... keep the intels scratching their.. b.........

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

Just remember. This cpu will do its best when cooled properly, and I mean, alot fo cooling. These are ideal Phase chips, with maybe nothing touching them price/perf hopefully

says the intel fan boy that would buy a Q9 series chip that probably won't overclock near this (ps the 955 is capable of higher over clocks than the i7 there is an article here on tom's about that)

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

If priced right, and the perf is truly that much different, using the better cooling solutions, it should easily beat out the Q series in perf, because of clocks, that is of course, you dont have a golden Q series cpu, which can happen as well, but then again, youre extremely lucky if you do, same for the 955s, if 1 of those got past the TWKR check point

 

[roofus]

the product deserves a premium price if it is as extreme as advertised and there is that niche crowd that will buy them. they dont care about Intel/AMD, they just want to be fastest.

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

Exactly

Where's the other two pictures of your rig that we can never get enough of?

 

[sharken]

meh Im fine and dandy with my 955 at 4.2 ghz stable at 45C air. Until they come out with a stock 4 Ghz X4 im staying put...

Put up some benchmarks please

 

[Reynod]

I want to see more pics of Soldiers rig please?

Kind regards,

Dirk

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

Youre asking, meyer see another pic?

 

[Reynod]

Your pun is a little confusing ... please do a microcode update on your BIOS and repost?

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

LOL Dirk, as in Meyer, as in, Meyer see another pic of that AMD goodness.
