The Phenoms with 65W TDP don't consumes less power than some of Intel quad cores, despite having lower TDP Hands on: New AMD Phenoms up power efficiency, performance: Page 2 They ^ also explained why those phenom don't consume less power

| Re: AMD gains on Intel Eh even if it isn't, I'm still going to buy it, I need a Quad soon anyways, and I'm not replacing my board and Heatsink just to get a q6600, and if its cheap enough.. I'll probably buy that and a HD 3870 if it remains $100

I was just disagreeing with him on that because it is not true. I'm just correcting what he said..., if someone in any thread claims that Intel have the fastest onboard graphics, I'm pretty sure that you will find someone who will disagree with him because it is not true

| Re: AMD gains on Intel I stand corrected then... but still.. doesn't matter to me.. I'd only consider Intel if I had an Intel Build.. but I have this AMD Build which is pretty good for me anyways

Sounds nice to know that Quads will be consuming 65 watts like the X2's instead of the ridiculous 120 they've been using.

Yeah I finally got the guts to get my CPU at 3ghz : D CPU Voltage at 1.35 Volts. Idle Temperature is a little high. So I m going to have to get a better heat sink soon. Maybe then I can get 3.2 stable without having to fry my motherboard. Last edited by Hussein19891; 07-03-2008 at 07:12 AM. | |
