Great CPU, "bank for the buck" Got mine yesterday, 8th of jan AMD phenom II 940 am2+ overclocked CPU-cooler: V8 CoolerMaster multiplier:19 volt :1.45 volts clock :200 mhz Stable at 3.82 GHZ (runs anything) Upgraded from a Intel E6750 (stock 2.66, mine oced:3,6) It gave me a big performance boost. Benchmarks test confirm the Intel-i7 is faster, but I always check: Price/performance = AMD phenom II 940
Yeah i gotta say im impressed.AMD is getting closer day and day.Intel isnt going alot further, because AMD just develops a better CPU and if Intel makes a good one AMD responds.
teh AMD PhenomII 940 is running just behind the Intel Core i& and its about 1/4 the price of it...coming out 98th Jan 2009....and the best thing is they ran it a 6.3 ghz...intels cpu would have fried by then lolololololol
core 2 is cache hungry the Q9550 isn't totally fair since it has 12MB of cache. I believe that's why AMD slides showed Q9400. Any ways it's 1% behind some thing that's got 25% more cache. O_o It's by no means slower the york field.
If they'd only could raise the HT-link then we would see some good stuff. Even though.. Excellent job bringing the Phenom II to these speed's, and by stability to!
What a nice video and awesome soundtrack! Keep up the good work and push those cpus to the max. Would like to see more of these videos from you guys in the future.
maybe it's faster...but money don't worth it..phenom II 955=225 euro and i7-950=518 euro..

No problem ! I allready posted the specs for the AMD !
Multiplier: 19.5
volt: 1.5 ( didn't go hight due to aircooling)
clock: 210 mhz (I downclocked the ram otherwise no boot/post)
stable @ DO THE FUCKING MATH ! = multiplier x core speed = TADA ! AMD is very fast.
I also placed some extra 200 mm Fans in my system to get better airflow. Otherwise You'll get Bluescreen or crashes after an hour or so.

How well this goes against Intel Core i7 920 in stock?I was thinking should i get this or i7 920.

Maybe but it gets killed in overclocking
AMD WILL CATCH UP
kballin95 2 years ago
yeah i think amd beat intel record becuase the 955 hit 7Ghz in overclocking with liquid nitrogen
FedoraFTW 2 years ago
YES IT DID FIANNALLY 7127.85 MHz
that was a happy moment and the 1100 dollar core i7 975 havnt passed 6.2 GHz
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

hahaha yeaaah boiii!!!
AMD is the king of overclocking.
what AMD CPU do you have?

my next rig will hav one prob the 955 with the 8 series chipset, but right now im running intel qx9650 and a qx9770
soooo i dont need to upgrade yet
but i lov overclocking and hav heard good things from amd so i will definatley go with them

Actually AMD got intel by the balls. They own the AMD64 patent, which all newer 64bit intel processors uses.
Without it, Intel couldn't do jack shit, and they would die the second people started switching over to 64bit.

well... to tell you the truth i have seen some reviews and benchmarks that say the phenom II X4 is faster in some games :D

What's the record for air cooled overclocking?
I'll be thrilled when we can hit 6 Ghz on a stock aluminum sink with fan:)
