AMD's Phenom - For suckers only

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes takes a critical look at AMD's Phenom quad-core CPU and arrives at the conclusion that being an early adopter of AMD's new quad-core line is for suckers only.

Or for people who aren't stinking rich.

mighty_douche6771d ago

did you even check the prices before writing that??

new Phenon = £199
intel Q6600 = £160

weaker and more expensive.

Vip3r6771d ago

I was comparing it to the QX9770 which you yourself said could cost around £700.

wow this sucks, I was hoping they would give Intel a run for their money, and maybe force Intel to step it up to the next level.

Oh well, guess I'll just have to keep building my super PC with the intell Q6600 for running Crysis.

mighty_douche6771d ago

the Q6600 is a great piece of kit, mines OC to 3.2ghz and honestly, nothing makes it break a sweat! GOOD cooling needed tho if your thinking of OC-ing.

KINGDRAMA6771d ago (Edited 6771d ago )

all core2 duos overclock well with stock cooling.

for extreme ocing u need added cooling.

amd/ati are gonners. both gpu/cpu reiterations they have brought to the table cant stand a chance against intel/nvidia

ruibing6770d ago

I have been reading about the recently released new ATI gpus that seem like a really good midrange card that gives the 8800GT a good run for the money.

GIJeff6771d ago

That my fx-62 still owns these...AMD is going towards the cheap market with these chips and the 3800 series, and for the price, they still own it. I am not going to spend 1,000$+ for a CPU that will change my framerate from 100 to 105. Its pointless.

gta_cb6771d ago

this is a shame, i have always been an AMD fan but with the C2D chips being as cheap and overclockable as they are i went and bought one. but deep down i wanted AMD to be better to step see what Intel could do next.

seems i made the right choice buying Intel Core 2 Duo

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing34d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit34d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing34d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9234d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
