I don't regret mine for 667 after bing cashback.
Well, considering AMDs prices on their 6 core, I would definitely regret it.
wow...

Not when it comes to video encoding. But yes, the Intel six-cores are above the phenom II x6s. Either way, a six-core cpu (1055t) for $199 is one hell of a deal even if Intel six-cores outperform it that are 5 times the price.Intel 6 core chips are in a totally different league than AMD 6 core. AMD's 6 core needs 2 extra cores and 200 to 400 MHz to be competitive with Intels quad core ( 8 threaded ) processors.
I wish I had seen that deal.
there was only 1, seller with just 4 feedback so bought with a CC. Got a sealed intel retail box, was kind of wondering if he'd deliver but all was good.

True, but the Phenom II X6s (both the 1055t and the 1090t) OC to 4Ghz with decent cooling although same goes with the Core i7 as well. Besides, the CPUs may be the same price, but the platform (ram, cpu, and mobo) are more expensive when you go the Intel route.The Phenom II X6-1090T and the i7-940 seems to be at parity to me (both costing $300):

Yes, it's so old. *sarcasm* I wish I had an i7 950And no, I don't regret getting one either, its fast and I've noticed applications load and process more quickly compared to my old i7 950.
I have a i7 970 and I got it somewhat "cheap", because here in Australia a 970 costs like $1200 and I got mine for $800, and a 980x costs like $1400 here. And no, I don't regret getting one either, its fast and I've noticed applications load and process more quickly compared to my old i7 950. And I love it how it runs much cooler, my 950 idles at 30-40 on stock speeds and my 970 idles at 20C at stock.
I'm curious if anyone who purchased their 980x for $1000.00 has any regrets of their purchase? In other words after using your CPU for awhile now, did you really see any real world results for your every day usage?
Damn! that much faster? Nice... Yeah I guess you have a point in what you do with it. I was thinking of investing in one for blu-ray decoding, but can't swallow the 1k price tag. lol
And how long do we have to wait until octacores? I think they are falling behind Moore's law.
Damn, wish I had oneWell I'm sold... I really want to get into video encoding. Placed an order this evening.
Why buy a 980X strictly for gaming? Sooo much wasted money in that setup there.
