hmm interesting...
according to that:
Phenom X4 9700 / 2400MHz /2+2MB L2/L3 Cache(4mb) / 2000MHz HT / 125W - $279
according to Newegg:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache/ $279.99
Same core clock, same cache- just split differently- then HT kicks in... does anyone know the other technical stats of these processors? Iam talkin the pipelines and all that "internal junk" no one looks at anymore- everyone just seems to look at the speed.
Iam thinkin Intels q6600 may have found its better- and for cheaper. (although not much if those are accurate pricings on the phenoms - 1 dollar less)
I cant seem to find any details on the internal stats... pipelines will really determine how "fast" they are- if you don't know what that is- look up the CPU guide and read on it- the stage pipelines are just how fast it does something- in stage numbers- the lower the number- the faster the thing is done- 2 CPU with vastly different speeds (in Ghz) can be compared by the Pipelines- as I recall a 1.8Ghz AMD beat a 3.0Ghz from it having a smaller pipeline structure, it basiclly could have done nearly 3x as many things due to the pipelines size (the intels was nearly 3x as long as the Amds)
