[HEXUS]

AMD has today added to its modest line-up of Phenom processors with a new range-topper and two energy-efficient parts.

Does anyone REALLY care about AMD CPUs at the moment?

Not to say Hexus shouldnt have printed the article... just saying AMD need to pull something interesting out of their sleeves the same as they did with the new GFX cards. Do they actually have anything at all new in the pipeline?

Well taking into account Intel and Israel bragging about Intel's new Fab today and their undying support for Israel - Trust me when I say 1/3 of this planet (Muslims) will be more interested in buying an AMD CPU than Intel.

I for one am selling my Q6600 to buy the 9950 Black Edition. i've always been an AMD cpu buyer and only bought a Q6600 (back mid last year) as AMD was not in the game with its Quads. Now it is - I'm getting one for sure - Intel and Israel can keep their 5-10% performance gains (not that any software out there needs it these days anyway!)

woo! for amd, bout time they started releasing some more good processors
every pc in my house atm is powered by amd and ati

If thats the case, please send any Muslims that want to get rid of their Intel chips at a cheap price my way Should be able to make a killing

It's nice to see some low power quads, now people wanting to use them with their 780G won't have any problems

I think it's good to try and stay above about 2.4GHz mind you.

As for the black edition, 140W.. that thing is gonna get toasty. they need to pull their thumb out and get these 45nm phenoms sorted.

*dude goes* ohh.. its gettin hot in here.. so take off all that IHS..

*chick goes* I am gettin too hot, Ima gotta use that LN2!...

okok.. bad impression...

Nitey all..

How about comapring numbers of people that can afford to buy a computer with a new CPU. Remember, just because someone has millions also does not mean they will buy thousands more CPU's than someone with thousands
I think you'll find that Intel can ignore lost sales to Muslims that hate Israelies.

maximum TDP of 140 Watts

Now that's one hot processor!

[Agent]

The fabled hotter-than-the-sun Prescott had a TDP of just over 100Watt at 3.2Gighz....

I use build my systems with AMD but now that they've fallen far behind with CPU speed I'm no longer an advocate.
