    Slow speed and conflicting info ????

    Hi, I got a new contract for internet a 50Mb speed, but internet felt slow so I open the task manger of W8 and it says that I am downloading at 20-25Mb/s but generally on steam I only get 2-2,5Mb/s, on torrents I get the same and general download it is alway more or less that. Funny thing...

    Anyone else have an E-350/C-60 rig? What do you use it for?

    You could install Linux and get a much better web browsing and multimedia experience! Maybe even play some Steam games for Linux.

    If desktop CPUs are already fast enough, why doesn't AMD CPUs sell?

    I would blame 32nm vs 22nm, their CPU as they are would be really good on 22nm (~half the die size and lower price) and its expected power usage (~30-40% less)!

    Im calling out Hexa Core owners.

    Personally I feel that cinebench is a great indicator of how well video/audio editing software answers in real time editing scenarios in stuff like reaper or vegas. Althought I can almost only try lower end cpus :'(

    Underclocked and undervolted piledriver?

    Hi Anyone tried to underclock and undervolt a piledriver cpu? What about power consumption. I am trying to find some power usage numbers for recent AMD cpu or even apu. Thing is I will probably update my pc in 1-2 weeks and the fx6300 seems the best choice in price/performance ratio...

    A8 5600k & e8500

    To be honest you should see if the gfx card is worth keeping it (not the best comparison, I know). http://www.anandtech.com/show/6332/amd-trinity-a10-5800k-a8-5600k-review-part-1/2 http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gts-450-gf106-radeon-hd-5750,2734-8.html But it seems that...

    FX 6300 vs X2 4800e (Power consuption)

    Hi, I may upgrade in the next month to a new CPU from my AMD X2 4800e, the FX6300 seems a great price/performance option for what I want to do (I have seen lot of benchmarks, and gaming is not worrying me), just the perfect balance for what I need, but I am worried about the power...

    Buy IV or wait for Haswell?
