Opteron Question..

[srtjustin]

Would a Opy 165 at 2.8ghz be faster than a fx-60?

 

[(cf)Eclipse]

no, because the fx-60 should be able to do 3-3.1ghz easy

Let me refraze... is a Opteron 165 at 2.8ghz faster than a FX-60 at stock speeds

But $1000-$300 = $700 FX62 cannot beat that.

Yes it will beat FX62 mine at 2.8ghz is faster in bechmarks according to sandra2005SR2

Let me refraze... is a Opteron 165 at 2.8ghz faster than a FX-60 at stock speeds

let's see...

fx-60 = 2.6ghz

2.8ghz > 2.6ghz @ same cache

so yes.

Ah but the crux is finding that 165 that will do 2.8, and with what cooling, and in what formfactor.

Good luck on getting the 165 to do 2.8 in a shuttle, but in a tower with a good heatsink (and of course the right steppings) sure.

If you do a search @ XS you'll find that nearly all 165's with '06 build will do 2.8GHz below 1.5Vcore
