Re: What !!!!! No AMD Fans ?
How do you peeps think the new Bulldozer and Bobcat will fare against Sandy Bridge in terms of raw Architecture. A little vauge maybe but doing math on such like is scary.
From what I have seen in the online media and sites, it would appear that the native clock speeds are going to be higher on Sandy Bridge, like higer clocks of 3.5 Ghz upwards. Seems to me that Intel are reverting back to the old days of the Prescotts etc, no OC needed. Not that I care too much, this Penryn is only part of the second Intel chipset I have ever owned.
If only there was a Barton that was a Phenom in that ultra overclocking thought. I was unlucky in getting one of those. Actually, the Barton Core rates as one of my ultimate achievements of the 20th Century :)

Re: What !!!!! No AMD Fans ?
I apologize for my tardiness to this thread... I, too, am a fan of AMD, but I am not about to bash Intel. Debating on building a new AMD Phenom II x6 rig in the next couple of weeks. Not sold on doing so at the moment but leaning that way. I'll probably dedicate my Phenom II x4 940 to Linux for Matroska batch jobs with Handbrake. Not sure yet. AMD's offer bang for the buck and being a sole income provider, that's what I need.

Well I hate to say it Sith but look at the 2600K Sandybridge that just got released from intel, 300 bucks OC to 5GHZ on air and a 160 board and your set. AMD needs to pick up there socks on Bulldozer if they want to compete.

Yeah... Just saw that, pricing a i7 Sandy Bridge based rig now. I may have spoke too soon. May go i7... Looking at dropping 2K on it though cause I want an SSD... wife is gonna kill me!!!

Now thinking I will pass on a new build this year... the layoffs are in full swing again at my firm and hit us by surprise yesterday and more are coming today. Better start pinching the pennies. I survived yesterday, have to see how today fairs. ugh...

Re: What !!!!! No AMD Fans ?
So far so good, but really, it is going to happen eventually. I have been going through this for the last couple of years... My group is already understaffed, but so were the other areas in IT hit today. Some simply cut in half during a heavy project time of year. Bah... enough of this chatter though... not looking for any sympathy. Whatever happens, happens... and who knows... I'll probably hold out on my PC purchase and buy this Intel rig and the next day AMD will announce something better!!! LOL
