ajb62787 Posted February 26, 2007 CID Share Posted February 26, 2007 Anyone seen the new AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ I have but the starting price is an arm and a leg. Who thinks the Single/Dual-Core FX/ FX2 processors should drop in price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted February 26, 2007 CID Share Posted February 26, 2007 For that price I would go with the Intell Core 2 duo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coknuck Posted February 26, 2007 CID Share Posted February 26, 2007 AMD uses the 90nm architecture and Intell uses 65nm which means it will run cooler. Plus you can overclock the piss out of the Intell.

ajb62787 Posted February 26, 2007 Author CID Share Posted February 26, 2007 I overclocked my AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ from 2.0GHz(2.01 on Windows) to 2.6GHz and the processor never reached 1.4V and the temperature never went over 104*F(40*C). Used Sandra 2007 Benchmark and it beat all the P4 and Core Duo Processors by at least 100 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kamil234 Posted February 26, 2007 CID Share Posted February 26, 2007 i got 4200+ @ 2.6ghz and im happy with it. sure faster is better but there's a point where you bearly notice it. if you play games and have good graphic card just turn everything all the way up and you won't notice much difference.

dlewis23 Posted February 26, 2007 CID Share Posted February 26, 2007 I overclocked my AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ from 2.0GHz(2.01 on Windows) to 2.6GHz and the processor never reached 1.4V and the temperature never went over 104*F(40*C). Used Sandra 2007 Benchmark and it beat all the P4 and Core Duo Processors by at least 100 points sandra uses synthetic benchmarks so the processor with the fastest cpu clock will always win. synthetic benchmarks are very unrealistic. you need to do a real world benchmark, and a core 2 will stomp any amd. even with AMD's quad FX it they still dont beat a intel Anyone seen the new AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ I have but the starting price is an arm and a leg. Who thinks the Single/Dual-Core FX/ FX2 processors should drop in price? they already are droping, but you can go spend $186 on a core 2 duo E6300 and over clock it a bit and its still faster.

ajb62787 Posted February 26, 2007 Author CID Share Posted February 26, 2007 But what is sweet is that AMD have a Quad-Core Out Windsor (90 nm SOI) - Quad FX platform Dual-core, dual CPUs (four cores total) CPU-Stepping: F3 L1-Cache: 64 + 64 KiB (Data + Instructions), per core L2-Cache: 1024 KiB fullspeed, per core MMX, Extended 3DNow!, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, AMD64, Cool'n'Quiet, NX Bit, AMD Virtualization Socket F (1207 FX), 2000 MHz HyperTransport (HT2000) VCore: 1.35 V - 1.40 V Power Consumption (TDP): 125 Watt max per CPU First Release: November 30, 2006 Clockrate: 2600MHz (FX-70), 2800MHz (FX-72), 3000MHz (FX-74) Manufacturing Tech 90 nm Price: $525 [urlhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103866&ATT=19-103-866&CMP=OTC-C173T] The problem about this 1 is 125 Watt Power Consumption and Socket AM3 processors will be available by Christmas and it can fit in any Motherboard with AM2 but the biggest part is full support for the newest line of DDR3 Memory by Christmas or New Years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwhall007 Posted February 27, 2007 CID Share Posted February 27, 2007 Actually, AMD doesn't have a true quad core processor on the market yet. Their "quad core" solution is to put 2 dual core processors on one motherboard.

It was only 18mos. old. I will; probably keep it for a backup unless one of my Kids talk me out of it. :haha: granpa: I have no problem with my mind staying with my 2 finger typing.
