AMD goes 6 core!!!

[Prez]

This is sick! Sounds like it would be a great processor o.o

[Jager]

umm the intel 980x is 6 individual cores @3.2 ghz stock with another 6 with hyper threading.

 

while vastly more expensive then amd at 300 the price may fall a bit more.

bout a month or so ago it was reviewed so chips been around at least that long.

I'll have to consider AMD when I make the purchase of a new gaming rig later this summer.

[Repus]

I don't understand anything you say! Mayby I should just quit and get life, since I'm not fitting here.

[`Pepper.]

NO NO NO NO!

 

Don't buy this, wait until they release the bulldozer!

 

It will hella pwn this. Completely new structure.

 

Also, Intels chip is really expensive....

but most of the time, the AMD are cheaper, but better then the Intel's,well most of the time

the most expensive 1 was the AMD X4 Phenom II Black Edition, there where only bout 10, so they sold for $10.000 or more

I saw this yesturday in a Newegg newsletter and this thing looks AWESOME and its CHEAP in my opinion! about $300 for a 6 core processor cant be beat. I personally have only bought AMD processors and they have all be really good to me. AMDs from what I have seen are usually better and much cheaper than Intel. So when I plan on my next rig I will have to look at this one if something better hasnt come out.

if you read the review unless you are into heavy video editing and or multi threaded applications the 4 core intel i series are beating this 6 core. so while I am not saying dont buy AMD, but think logically and do some research

 

read the reviews and pick your chips based on what you do most and is the most bang for your buck. if all you do is game a dual or quad core is overkill, a 6 core is bragging rights, but rarely will you activate 4 cores in gaming, much less 6.

 

new games may be multi threading capable which renders this argument moot, but until then its nice pc bling, not gaming zomg must have.

[gundam538]

well you got a point there. not much out there really take full advantage of even dual cores yet let alone 4 or 6

...really...amd are better?? source? Id take an i7 over this...Id like to see both of them benched... since that thing isnt even comparable to the 6 cores of intel...

 

For the price yeah why not..but like I said Id get the i7 over that one so even for the price id still not get it...
