http://www.xtremesystems.org/f...howthread.php?t=214354 Q9550 for $269 and Q9400 for $219 and the best deal, theQ9650 for $317!!!

New prices Jan 18th.

I personally would like to see what's the max clock the P2 will do for 24/7 operation. Thanks.

Don't know the reason either, but I do know that this gives the price/performance edge back to Intel. If Amd wants the price/performance back then they will have to cut the P2 940 down around $225. Did anyone else notice the price on the Q9650 is now $317, this is a very significant price drop...

Next week Intel will drop their price for a Q9550=$268, Q9400=$219. So I suggest to wait a few more days and maybe Amd might drop the price of PII even more. http://www.xtremesystems.org/f...howthread.php?t=214354

Not sure why people are comparing P2 940 to Q9400. The direct competitor to the P2 940 is the Q9550, the Q9400 is for the P2 920.

You can't generalize the P2 either. Even with an unlocked multi the P2 940 seems to be hitting a clock wall at 3.6-3.8ghz on average the Amd 920 ???. The Q9400 would still match and beat the locked Amd 920 and the Q9550 would still match and beat the unlocked Amd 940 on clock for clock and high...

No, plenty of people can get their Q9400 and Q9550 in the 3.6-3.8ghz range which is where P2 is clocking to.

Flaming? For what correcting you. Very few C2Q can overclock higher then 4ghz and guess what even less P2 can overclock higher then 4ghz. The truth is that you tried to paint a picture that P2 is a better value and clocks higher then C2Q but that is a lie. You just can't expect to make comments...

No they don't. You sure like t throw out a lot of misinformation don't you. C2Q can clock just as good or better and on top of that has better IPC. The value argument keeps popping up but you keep using Ci7. Why? The C2Q still beat PII on clock for clock and like I said before overclock even...

True, but Intel would follow. It has historically been the case that Intel has always had higher margins, so in essence they can always match or beat Amd's prices for any given SKU. So the value segment will always be a moving target controlled by Intel.

Wrong. The Phenom 2 is not a better value. The only people that should consider upgrading to P2 is someone who already owns an AM2+ system. If you own an Intel 775 system then switching to P2 is stupid. If you are in the market for a new systems then you have a whole bunch of variables that can...

Really man where do you get your misinformation from? Did you see the reviews for Deneb? Everyone was struggling to get over 3.5ghz stable. On the other hand go back and read the Nehalem reviews. Google is your friend, here I just found this a minute ago. It has max overclock for the low end...
