AMD Phenom II X6 @ Cebit

[OMGItsJanos94]

LOL I have 12 Threads with 6 Core :P

[miestarSqils]

AMD should stop with the drierying down the tech ladder with Intel and go straight to like 4nm processing. yes it will take maybe twice as long to design, but as soon as it goes into production, AMD will then have everyone buying their 4nm stuff while intel like 3 years later is only on 16nm. in the meantime they can create even more advanced technologies. a time investment like this could well leave intel permenantly in the dust. the games industry will see AMD as the standard and forget Intel

[Nvidiaguides]

@miestarSqils Thats what 3DFX did and they died. If you understand buisness, then you need to understand that technolgical advancements equal sheer amounts of money! To go down to 4NM would require new laser designs, lithography techniques and literaly millions and millions of dollars.

[TheVanGastel]

@miestarSqils why in the name change the hardware, hardware is fine even its "old school" the work even nicely for a old product.

[necronlord40k]

amd sucks^^

[stovnergutt]

I'm happy with my 8-core cpu.

[EddieLolz3r]

@stovnergutt

And what is the name of that cpu?

[FOGoticus]

@stovnergutt If you mean i7, you are happy with your 4 only used cores, and 4 idle cores.

[stovnergutt]

@FOGoticus i7-980X has 6 cores and 12 threads. i7-930 has 4 cores and 8 threads.. Intel just made it possible to stream data using light.. i8 is said to have 8 cores and 16 threads. But, i think i8 (if it will be called i8) will feuture something way more powerful than 8 cores....

[points2shopPROOF]

Can't wait for BULLDOZER :O

[eisenschwein100]

oh mein gott is des video geil xD

[sweetrottweiler]

this processor is a monster for its price!

[NineLivesProductions]

will someone explain to me what the difference is between a normal amd Phenom II x4 955 and a Phenom II x4 955 C3

What does the C3 represent?

[lupuradu]

@NineLivesProductions C3 would represent the revision of the CPU. Revision updates usually sort out stability issues or add new features (like energy efficency for exampe).

[NineLivesProductions]

@lupuradu Lol its a bit late, I said that a year ago... I ended up getting the C3. Too bad phenoms are gonna be useless when the bulldozer line debuts.

[lupuradu]

@NineLivesProductions sorry , i usually don't look at the date when the post has been made! :D

[NineLivesProductions]

@lupuradu lol no problem man, I love my computer though!

[CartoonsKick]

Oh, just so you know. Ive stuck with Radeon Cards. They were in the early days more Bang for your Buck. TNT 2 ultra was a: cheap and b: FAST (for its day). I have had 1 NVidia card since then, and I only bought it because it said it was better than the comparable Radeon card (which I had at the time). In fact when I bought it and tested it on the same game it was slower. Ive never bought Nvidia since, though I did buy NVidia chipset MBs . They were awesome.

[CartoonsKick]

The new Phenom II X6 looks....SHINY! Me want one. I have a 2 year old Intel E6600, never overclocked, cos it never needed to be. I bought a Q9400 last month and it arrived as an 'Interim' upgrade prior to an i7 move, but it was a factory faulty unit so went back. From my K8 200 (cheap, but slower than P200) to my Durron 700, then Athlon 1Ghz, then an Athlon 3000+. then my 3700+. All except the K8 200 beet ANY comparable Intel chip. Now 6 core's are affordable (no HT rubbish!) - ME WANTS ONE!

[DirtyCodingHabitz]

AMD 1090T beats Intel i7 960 :)

[xCRIMEx707]

im curious as to why they arent catching up to Intel's six core processor yet? why would they make a 45nm processor instead of a 32nm like Intel. it confuses me. but i still LOVE AMD products and support AMD.

[robertkrosl]

@xCRIMEx707 Bcuz if They make 32nm process cpu it will cost more and because they want it to fit on there old am3 boards plus 45nm is really a difference from 32nm

[ferretco]

@xCRIMEx707 Better overclocking thats why intel hasnt go above 5.20 GHz amd has went to 8.06 GHz :)

[GGboy1987]

im getting my mitts on one today from ups :)

[bulldog3at3r200]

amd's version of hyper threading is hyper transport...... same thing...

[Nadrealis]

@bulldog3at3r200 No it's not at all lmao.

[EpicExeCuTIoN]

When the AMD bulldozer comes out it will have hyperthreading

[mohsun123]

890gx/fx/x are all capable of supporting this chip.

[woodshuck]

@mohsun123 can 790fx support it ?

[D0HNY]

I'm pretty curious how it will perform compared to i7 quad-cores. Phenom II 1090T Black Edition could kick ass as it will be able of big overclocking.

[BKsMassive]

@D0HNY

my guesses it..... with liquid cooling you will beable to get 4.2Ghz on the best X6!

so you will have 2 extra cores and higher clock speed, more Level 3 cache ( 9 MBs )

and it will be 1/4 of the Price of i7's

AMD for Life <3

[EpicExeCuTIoN]

@BKsMassive AMD FTW!!!!

[BKsMassive]

@EpicExeCuTIoN

i know :D

and there out TODAY! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[EpicExeCuTIoN]

@BKsMassive :DDDD AMD = instant win XD

[BKsMassive]

@EpicExeCuTIoN

AMD = instant win @ low prices ;)

anyway dude im off! xD its 1 in the morning and i have school tomorrow :( xD

[Nadrealis]

@BKsMassive Technically since the i7's have hyperthreading it will have two LESS cores.

[NudeNuke]

@D0HNY yh thats what im wondering

[EpicExeCuTIoN]

@D0HNY Intel are just over priced... AMD are low priced and you get good preformance.. AMD 4 LIFE!

[234jari234]

@D0HNY no shit because the i7 quad core had 3 cores and the x6 6cores so obviously

[clubpenguin1help]

@D0HNY Actually the i7's are also six-cores like this one

[cazablocki]

@clubpenguin1help actually there are quad core and six core versions, hence why he specified the quad core I7, the six core I& unfortunately destroys the x6,

[YoungTiskMuzic]

when is going to release? will it support triple channel memory? will it have technology similar to hyper threading? can some one answer me in my inbox?

[xGamingEvo]

will be a BEAST, Bluray and only 20 % of six cores? oh my good i must be drunked ¬¬

[Daxter609]

Sooo whens it comin out?

[workthis]

this with my 5970 setup right now = overkill for l4d

[32Orion]

this is going to be way cheaper than intels i7 980x

six core that cost 1k

[minijeppe]

The BEST for FSX? :P

[tuke8]

i have q6600 atm, i skipp i7, now i planning to go x6, and i dont care i7 and intel 6 core is blody expensive, and i use it maybe 50% of real potential

[palmolive25]

AMD should have their own version of hyper threading

[DrBeardo]

It's planned for the bulldozer fusion core, but it's a waste, it's better to run on real cores then on emulated cores.

Theres little point in hyper threading as software devs are too lazy to write multi threaded code, proof is every company bitching about video game consoles where you are using a combined multi core cpu gpu hybrid or BeOS which forced software devs to make all apps threaded to make the most out of multi cpu systems of the time.

BeOS is back from the dead as Haiku.

[hootis8]

@palmolive25 they will once bulldozer comes out either end of 2010 or early 2011

[Daxter609]

@palmolive25 But wouldn't that start making them expensive as intel?

[bulldog3at3r200]

@palmolive25 AMD's version of hyper threading is hyper transport...

[ManicMage1]

@bulldog3at3r200 hypertransport and hyperthreading are two completely different things.

[cataxo444]

@palmolive25 reason why i haven't changed to amd.. yet

[cataxo444]

@palmolive25 main reason why i haven't switched yet.

[bobbyt2012]

@palmolive25 Soon, mulit-threading comes to AMD in 2011 with Bulldozer.

[FOGoticus]

@palmolive25 Nah, it would be shitty.

Intel, is costing a lot. Your games and applications might just use 4 threads, and the other 4 might just stay idle all the time.

I prefere phisical cores rather than logical.

Also Intel 980-X cpu costs less than my 1090T configuration.

[q1joe]

@palmolive25 Nt worth the effort

[67CopperHead]

i want to get this for my dule GTX 285 set up

[cultureconscious]

i want one...when does it land..

[Azer831]

April

[DeKugelschieber]

komische zahl *6 core*

[DoenerBonuskarte]

Hexacore hört sich besser an ;).

[psp785]

the i7's will still perform better

[hootis8]

but it will be closer at least

[madzane94]

@psp785 still perform better in dumb ass everyday programs that intel pays to take advantage of HT *fake cores*!! threads fail compared to physical cores....

intel still fail cuz amd was the first to 6 corer with their opteron and now they have a 12 core *physical core opteron* intel can't come close! look up opteron 6100

[psp785]

keep telling yourself that I wonder why intel lower cpus still beat amd's and if ht works for performance how is that a bad thing u idiot... operon is for servers anyways that's like me bringing up the i9's and xeons plus I wasn't even bring up the i7 extremes the 980 would kill anything amd has. your stupid if you think amd has better performance overall what they have is better price to performance ratio

[Alfrida]

And cost twice the price

[psp785]

true but that's why intel has the i5 and i3's and the intel i7 920 is also a good price i'm not bias in anyway I own both cpus from both but in performance intel wins

[Alfrida]

Read some gaming benchmarks with the Core i7 920 VS Phenom II X4 965. And the max FPS is NOT important :P

[psp785]

i have the 920 beat it their are a few games where the they were really close but it's closer to compare it to the i5 instead

[Alfrida]

And nothing were overclocked? :O

Alot has happen since 2 hours ago...

[autobellmyhell]

Calm down people Bulldozer is just around the corner with 128bit cores that act as two 64bit cores with up to "8" cores total for home, much lower TDP, nasty FPU, new memory controller, and its on "HT", our day will come. Besides Thuban has a few fricks up its sleeve to hold us over till then.

[madzane94]

thuban FTFW!

[Dragst3er]

Weis jemand wo man den Desktop wallpaper herbekommt, am besten in der X4 version?

I Want this wallpaper from who can i get?

[Lupic1995]

What is Love baby dont hurt me dont hurt me no more ... I Think i found my love ;D

[aslator]

Wow thats a future proof processor right there, Overcloking and it should be just fine for the next gen of gaming ps4.

[Omellykim]

looks sexy

[GreatVomitto]

I pray for TSMC.

[thegreyvingian]

i mean ima get the Processor, but ima be extremely dissapointed

especially with the i7 980x beatin 3.33GHZ with 32nm fab proc, 12 threads, and it's triple channel

AMD wtf, are you doing?

[traingp7]

Their kicking ass and taking names in the video card market now with the 5870 and 5890 in direct x 11 games. They can now get back to the cpu R&D and bring a processor that can compete against current intel processors. For gaming computer people they don't give a shit about the processor as long as it can keep up feeding instrtuctions to the GPU"S they don't care.

[Crypticsaga]

@thegreyvingian selling 300 dollar cpu's you wanna go blow 1k, go for it but i like their methodology and fusion will quietly take the performance crown in 2011 that is if there is an intel after the fcc gets done with them

[thegreyvingian]

@Crypticsaga I'm concentration my efforts on an AMD Bulldozer, that's where fusion is, not on the Phenom x6. The Bulldozer cores and Phenoms are not the same thing, i want a Zambezi, or an Orochi, on an AM3R2 Motherboard, so it can support Fusion (of course it's backwards compatible).

[Daxter609]

@thegreyvingian The MSI 890fx is AM3R2? mobo so will it still support AM3/2 cpus?

[thegreyvingian]

@Daxter609 no, just AM3 it will support. It cannot support AM2+ and AM2. and 890FX is am3, which is backward compatible with am3r2 (which i heard is basically am3+)

[Daxter609]

@thegreyvingian Ok won't their be a bios update needed to use the bulldozer on 890fx which is coming out on the 26th

[thegreyvingian]

@Daxter609 Yes

[thegreyvingian]

@Crypticsaga gonna get 4 way GPUs to finish off the build if i have the cash lying around

[thegreyvingian]

@thegreyvingian 6,000 series in 2011 of course.

[thegreyvingian]

@Crypticsaga Can't even use a bulldozer anymore.

[thegreyvingian]

this shoulda has 12 threads,

this shoulda been 32nm

this should have fusion (late as hell)

this probably shoulda been triple channel

the 890 chipset is taking too damn long and MSI is the only one making it

The Other Phenoms ii x4 shoulda been out already

This core was supposed to be the great leap to beat the i7, and now im afraid of what's going to happen with AMD now.

2.8 GHz, wtf.?

[muffty1337]

laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaangweilich! :P

[legendray2008]

I see only 6 threads not 12 .. WTH ?

[CRAKIZGOOD]

@legendray2008

its amd u noob

HT belongs to intel

[legendray2008]

Well, thank you einstein

I was confused btw 12 cores Opteron and this hexa cores Phenom II .

[Maasterr007]

AMD has no HT

[AllTypesOfVideos]

Pwned .

[Superspemo]

krasswird es erstmal wenn intel seine 6kerner bringt-die natürlich auf dr neuesten Core i7 Architektur basiert.Natürlich SMT und turbo boost,und ab 3,5Ghz aufwärts.DAS wird nen hammer Prozessor.

[Hellderwish]

@Superspemo

i7 980XE

[11BlAcKjAcK90]

amd ftw

[EgAOm]

boah ist das geil XDDDD hab auch AMD

AMD ROCKT!!!!!!!

hahah xD

[SmashCOBamberg]

VERY nice

[DJArtur99]

nice

[LeCreateurNoir]

bin auch mal sehr auf die sechskerner von Intel gespannt, die werden ja auch noch HyperThreading besitzen...

[15lp15]

will ich haben
