No really much to it, but at least we're getting close.

i like the 4 core CPU-Z screenshot 4.2 GHz
Hopefully anand will have a review out soon, i need a chart to properly see the comparison.
Currently the 1055t looks after an overclock and a few more volts looks to be somewhere ahead of the intel i7 860, so if the price is right then it's a winner.
I'm not sure how you can call it a win when you have to overclock a 6-core cpu to come out just barely faster than an existing 4-core. Sounds kinda like a massive lose to me.

AMD owners for the most part have purchased an AMD because they have no need to spend money for the speed of something like the Gulftown. AMD enthusiasts buy AMD because we want to know that we are getting the best value on the market possible. In a game, it isn't a big issue as most games are heavily GPU limited anyway. Then there are AMD enthusiasts like me who buy AMD simply because we refuse to buy Intel. If AMD went under, Intel could return to the old days where they could charge near monopoly prices once again. Notice that Intel got serious only after getting their asses whupped by AMD for a few years where AMD had the top stuff.
come on anand
Am i right in thinking that review sites often have to wait till a certain time before they can put their reviews up? which kinda explains why often many sites all have their reviews up at the same time.
your probably right its called an NDA(Non Disclosure Agreement....they throw it up above the day and you get yourself a nice fat lawsuit for breaking the NDA)
aka what happened to Charlie and nvidia. Charlie became pissed about this and is now very vehemently anti nvidia.I doubt that these manufacturers like AMD or ATI will file a lawsuit for a reviewer breaking an NDA, but that doesn't mean there arn't other ways to punish the reviewer. For instance they can pull advertising dollars out of that site, or they can punish them by not giving them future stuff to review and so on.

Now while AMD may not always be the best value for enthusiast systems, you can't argue with the great bargain and performance you get out of the Athlon II line. With an Athlon II (dual,triple or quad) you get performance that will trump Intel's offerings of the same price range. To say that AMD isn't going to give you more performance for your money is virtually false.I'll have to disagree on the better price for performance bit.
Take, for instance, the Phenom II 965 and 955 and the Intel i7 860 and i5 750.
Lets sort them by price in decreasing order from left to right, then by performance below:
Price:
i7 860 > i5 750 > Phenom II 965 > Phenom II 955
Performance:
i7 860 > i5 750 > Phenom II 965 > Phenom II 955
AMD will have to believe the chart looks a little more like this:
Price:
i7 860 > i5 750 > Phenom II 965 > Phenom II 955
Performance:
i7 860 > Phenom II 965 ≥ i5 750 ≥ Phenom II 955
I'm all for competition, and I agree with that part of your statement that competition drives the prices down. I also fully applaud your admittance of being a fanboi. Most freak out over that term and would take great offense were they to be called by it.
I hate doing less with more. I'd rather do more with less.

OK, but the fact that you can get a quad core for $99 is still amazing since the Intel Quads that come close in terms of price (Q8300 for $150) can barely match and sometimes get beaten by the Athlon II X4. Besides, you now as well as I that a $70 Intel mobo will not be nearly as good as a $70 AMD one (especially when considering socket-type). Plus, you can't also forget some Athlon II X2s beating more expensive C2Ds in some benchmarks.While the Athlon II line is decent in it's prices, when you look at the performance/price, I'd be surprised if you'd find more than a $5 difference.
That's crazy. I'm guessing that's possible with some serious cooling along with AMD's turbo technology. I wonder what kind of OC we could see with a mainstream air cooler.valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1132113
Freq : 6292.46 MHz (242.02 * 26)
WTF sauce....I haven't been keeping up on the AMD CPU world, but this has got to be on Dry Ice, phase change, or something.....
i think the last chip I remember getting a 100% air cooled overclock on was a 1700+ (Mine wasn't stable @ stock speeds after being overclocked for so long, but still ran perfectly stable overclocked....go figure.)

I will be going from a 6400+ to the 1090T so I should see a Nice jump in performance.
people get so hung up on benchmarks. like "omg, the intel is 6 fps better than the amd" but it's $$ more.
lol 3.2GHz dual-core athlon64 to 3.2GHz six-core PhenomII, i'd say so.
it was great in its day.

I made a similar move from a 6400 to a x3 720.....very nice boost in performance and then the jump from that to a 965 wasnt too bad either.
What you guys think....worth selling off a P2 965 for a 1090T?
