AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE: Same Speed, Less Power

AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE: Same Speed, Less Power
Today AMD is introducing a revision of its flagship Phenom II X4 965 processor rated at 125W, replacing the 140W part, as well as a new 3.1 version of its Overdrive overclocking software. We take a quick look at both to see what advantages they offer. Read More

  • Overclocked On Air: Intel's Core i5-750
    Intel's new quad-core i5 and i7 CPUs for LGA 1156 deliver plenty of performance and impressive efficiency. But how far can they be overclocked? We take the entry-level model Core i5-750 as far as it'll go with a modest air cooler and benchmark it. Read More

Scenes From Computex 2009: Intel's Booth

Next news
4:51 PM - June 3, 2009 by Marcus Yam, Photos by Tuan Nguyen

We've got a sneak peek at what Intel's land looks like at Computex.

Intel's got one of the largest presences at Computex this year, and obviously with that comes a massive booth. We even got to see some of the bunny men return! Check out a few of the pictures we snapped from the show floor:

Ever heard of Google? If you want to see scantily dressed women, they are easy to find.

Intel wants to start making gaming more about the CPU, not the graphics card. So instead of having to buy a $350 GTX 285 we'll be looking at $1,000 "Extreme" CPUs from Intel. They are the largest manufacturer of CPU chips but still their prices are through the roof. $280 for entry level Core i7 which is $30 higher than AMD's flagship Phenom II X4 955. I'm no AMD fanboy but I'm not looking to a future controlled by Intel.

The entry level core i7 beat's the flagship of amd.. So your point is moot their sorry.

I'm not fanboy of Intel, but I'm also not a fanboy of AMD. They both have their pros and cons. You're not any cooler for being an intel hater, then the fanbois are.

and the entry-level i7 is going to be discontinued soon as well :P

So let me guess, this computex thing is an intel trade show?

In gaming (as doomtomb was mentioning) the entry level core i7 actually trades blows with AMDs flagship for more money. It's in other applications where the i7 beats AMD. Just clarifying.

Also to get and i7 with the X58 chipset is going to costs (with the cheapest board on NewEgg) $450
To get the 955 with the 790GX chipset would be (with the cheapest board on NewEgg) $354.
That's a near $100 price difference. Costs is the problem which doomtomb is pointing out. His point isn't moot.

Edit:
Sentence should read:

Mind pointing out where Intel stated that?

A) Not everyone builds a system for gaming primarily.
B) That's not even true:

The i7 has the best performance with the higher end graphics setups.

A. I know this, but in reference to what doomtomb, it was about gaming.
B. Ummm...I don't know if you put the wrong link up or what, but that is the X4 9950, not the Ph II X4 955. Perhaps you meant..
http://www.tomshardware.com/review [...] 278-9.html

Looking at this chart it is true...

Also the reference where Hatecrime69 is referring to is probably:
http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardw [...] 940-cpus/1

I don't know if this was confirmed or disputed by Intel.

That's only a single GTX 260 Core 216, look at the setup of the link I posted, then compare the numbers.

i7 920 will be replaced

Ok....
Your charts are of the extreme i7, the discussion was about the 920. But besides that, so you saying not only do you have to have an expensive cpu, an expensive motherboard, but now you need an expensive GPU to make it all good?

Loking at the chart you provided the extreme i7 with a GTX 280 had 65 frames per second.
A Ph II 955 with a GTX 260 216 had 74 frames per second. Wasn't your point that a better graphics card was needed?

I already read that, and I cannot find where is definitively says the 920 be discontinued. That article is about the 940 and the 965 being replaced, so perhaps you're just a bit confused.

Tuan's the one scouring the Computex floor, but I've already put in a special request for boothbabes, so expect to see something soon. ;)

I think they use cellphone camera on this. Not so clear, they should use DSLR camera
