Re: Tech Forums Official SuperPi 1M Top List
Oh yeah! I LOVE this processor as far as multi-tasking! it's a monster with that.. I guess I'm just getting a little jealous of the i7 clocks and stream processors and how much more it handles over the PII 940....... But as it stands now, I can't justify the cost to switch to the i7... I already have one of the top PII CPU's as it is.. another $500 for an i7 build would almost have to be done with lottery earnings, because I'm not spending that money... Prolly not for a year or so.. I got bills to catch up on..
Well in terms of Superpi the Phenom 2 pretty much does suck...and in terms of 24/7 stable daily clocks it's not really my top pick either.
As for bang/buck gaming performance it's way up at the top of the list though IMO.

I was just kidding around, as far as the Phase change and the insane clocks. and it runs 3.0g stock.. it'll do 3.5 on air and without touching the VCore.. So for me being on liquid and having a decent enough rig, hitting the wall @ 3.8g is a setback for me.You act as if a Phenom II X4 sucks, I'm on a X2 5000+ which is still pretty good, even if its low-end by today's standards.
And you got it past 3.0ghz too? That's solid for today's games too
