Phenom II 940 benchs @ [H]

[zmatt]

the fact tha the called me a fanboy was preaty insulting considering i own intel proovign there for i am not. and he has yet and if it isnt me why hasnt he pointed it out yet?

Yeah sorry man. I was just getting a bit caught up in Hussein's statement and I thought you were agreeing with him. My bad.

i can never understand SuperPi lol.

my friend wants to get a Core i7 but i dont think he should when he can get the same performance or some what less with a Phenom II 940 and cheaper parts such as the mobo and DDR2 RAM, which isnt much difference from DDR3 except price.

anyhow, cant wait to get a Phenom II 940 in January. Will help me in gaming and multitasking a lot. I have around 80+ processes and services running.

Well that's not true. Benchmarks show us that the Core i7 is more than just a good super pi chip. It is fa faster then the core 2 quads that it replaces. I think he is totally justified in getting an i7.

I'm going to pick up a cheap CPU of somebody who is moving to Phenoms hahaha

My lack of OC'ing capability of this chip saddens me

Only 3.1ghz stable? K8's could go higher.

 

[Hussein19891]

The particular chip they had only did 3.1ghz.

There are others that have been able to achieve 3.4ghz. But the 7750 usually craps out at about 3.2ghz~.

Side note- All the Deneb benchmarks only show the chip at about 3.3ghz~ with a Vcore of about 1.45~. So chances are that 4.00ghz (if possible) can not be achieved on air. With a decent overclocker and a water setup, 4.00ghz should be attainable though.

if he was considerign core 2 quad maybe get a phenom 940, just to support amd if they are teh same price and performence but the i7 stomps the phenom 2 so sorry good luck with that. if he wants performence he should go for the i7.

The only core 2 quad the 940 will be beating the the q6600. Phenom 2 cant compete against the 45nm core 2s.

teh q6600 has been so beast for so long now it has to be one of the most sold cpu's in the last 2 years.
