5000+ blk ed. Vs. FX-62

[zerodayATK]

its only a $40 difference so i was wondering if it was worth it until x4 come out and drop price? would that extra cache be worth it?

I'd wait if I could.

I don't think the cache really helps on amd architectures but the x4s will be faster per ghz.

between those two get the 5000+ because it uses the 65nm Manufacturing Process while the FX-62 still uses 90nm...

yeah i wasn't sure.. but im building this rig this week.... i need this computer.... , i cant wait for the new future products , i need it now, i think im going to get the 5000 because of the unlocked multi's.. im not sure i but thought the fx' series had unlocked mutipliers too?

 

[veg1992]

they do.. the FX's are like AMD's version of Extreme Editions... usually tho.. u can get your hands on em really cheaply tho.. unlike any Intel EE

 

[zerodayATK]

yeah so whats some advantages to 65 mm over 90mm? less power is one? anything else?

 

[veg1992]

cooler temperatures, which will lead to a better overclock..

 

[zerodayATK]

ok... so 5000+ is a better buy then the fx-62... i think i might buy both and do some testing .........

where did you fidn a fx62 for teh same price as a 5000+ ncix has the rfx 62 at liek 700$ NCIX.com - Canada's Premier Computer Store - Great Technology, Service and Selection. the 5000+ black edition is only like 140$
