Heres the performance preview matched up against the best processors out there.

pretty good deal for the price..

Phenom II x3 710 run with 4 core!

[Chris82]

lololol I can't wait to get one of these.

Enjoy your overpriced shit Intelfags.

Its funny, because you get what you pay for. Sure you can buy an AMD processor for $40, but buy an Intel Processor for $80 and you'll get way more than double the performance.

Statements like "Enjoy you sh*t Intelfags" crack me up all the time.

I don't care either way, brands mean nothing. But ever since Core 2's, AMD hasn't even come close. Phenom II's look promising, but they are again only barely approaching Intel.

wouldn't care if intel was 10x faster, they're jews and I'm not giving a kike money.

...brands mean nothing.

ORLY FOOL

Did you even visit the site he linked?

Did you even read my post?

Once again, Phenom II's look nice, but the i7's have been out before the Phenom II's. Also the stock Phenom II is about the same as the i7 920, overclocked to 4.2 its about even with the 965. But lets see some statistics with a i7 at 4.2, that would be a much fairer comparison.

And Sniperwulf, gtfo. I've had several AMD chips back when they were the best (during P4 and Pentium D times).

[Sniprwulf]

For you to make a statement that "brands mean nothing" is completely ignorant and you know it.

So just for clarification nov, this is by your logic: you go buy your i7 965 for a grand, i'll stick with a phenom II x4 940 and pay 230. are you getting way more than 4 times the performance? stfu nig.

[Novahawk]

Once again for the especially dense:

The Phenom II's are the exception and they are indeed cheaper and about the same level as the i7's.

I seriously can't think of how to make it simpler. If you still cannot comprehend this, may i recommend elementary school education?

[Chris82]

Yeah but you said

Sure you can buy an AMD processor for $40, but buy an Intel Processor for $80 and you'll get way more than double the performance.

A generic statement which implies that an AMD processor which costs less automatically has a worse performance/price ratio.

But okay, by your logic, here's a $40 AMD processor and an $80 Intel processor. Pretty sure that Intel proc doesn't even come close to "doubling the performance".

I have that $40 AMD processor .

[Novahawk]

I just pulled the numbers out of my ass..

The advantage for paying a bit more for intel (Once again, prior to the Phenom's, Im comparing Core 2's with the Athlons) was the great overclockability. Sure stock AMD's had a better price/performance ratio, but the Core 2's easily overclock 1Ghz and you can almost reach it even on stock cooling. Most chips easily go to 4.2, while the AMD's, not so much. The Phenom II went to 6.3 which is very impressive. I might have looked at getting one if i was planning to upgrade.

The computer market always goes in cycles, AMD is the best for awhile, then Intel, then AMD again... It always repeats. Same thing with ATI/Nvidia. Looks like with the Phenom II's AMD is back up to the top.

[Unlikely]

I have been tempted to get a 3.0GHz Phenom II.... resisting for a little while longer...
