DailyTech - 1/8/2009 Daily Hardware Reviews -- AMD Phenom II & NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 Edition

and GTX 295 reviews too. I already ordered my Phenom II 940 today.

EDIT:

just reading the Tweaktown review right now. Seems that Phenom II is almost fairly matched with the Core 2 Extreme. That good right? In AMD's turf considering lower price right?

I read the Toms Hardware one, but they dont even bother to clock the chips to the same speed or anything. The measure a 3.0Ghz phenom 2 to a 2.66Ghz i7 and q6600 @ 2.4Ghz. Hopefully there are some reviews that actually show the real performance difference clock for clock.

Tomorrow I order my 940.

Anandtech's review so far is the best to me, although i haven't read all of the other reviews

 

[Wildside]

keep in mind that other benchmarkers will be benchmarking the Phenom II's later on with better BIOS n stuff. Should those ones be added to this list or no?

 

[Hussein19891]

If your ordering soon Wildside. Why not get do a few benchmarks once you get it?
