I see ya want to believe . But it takes more than smoke and mirrors. Nice AMD can finally get to4ghz tho . Pretty late to that party.
Are you talking stock? It's 3.1GHz stock. If you meant overclocking, the Phenom IIs can regularly reach 4GHz on air and, to prove it's not the CPU that's the limit here, 7GHz on LN2. Which is higher than Nehalem or Core can get to.
You do relize that it works Not the way your saying. By going to 7ghz on subzero gas. and not being able to get past 4ghz on air not much further on water proves it is the cpu . Chip shuts down because of heat without subzero kooling .
But 7 ghz is Good . I am happy for AMD . But its just not good enough . AMD has to clock higher on air water . I will take notice than . But ya know what . Does it matter really . I am excited . I have 2 good Nehalems here mine and wifes . There Good . I have a regular PH guess what . Its good to . My webber is a p4c . guess what its good to .
But I haven't been this excited since Dothan . After I get My retail 2core 4 threader clarky clown webber I doubt I will use the 4 core unit at all . Other than documents . I will swith to gaming on the webber .
5ghz stable on water just be so much fun . For me to get excited is saying something.
As I see it . Buy what ever you want. AMD good . Intels good . I know I won't make same mistakes I did with p4 if Intel should lose performance crown . Iwon't try to build intel up . Chances of that happening in my lifetime is about zero. So when it happens heres a

on me .
For the record . Lets not forget it was me defending AMd after PH came out . There was no good reson for it . Other than I felt immersion might solve a few of amds problems . But when AMD started Showing Off Compressed gas O/Cs at 6ghz+ There was all this talk of high Air O/Cs I was excited . Again AMD slipped a mickey in the Drink and didn't deliver the 4ghz they said they could . WAlK the WALK . not Talk the talk .
Intels been pretty right on with what they say . But let them hype lie. You watch how fast I call them on it . I am setting on this 23% clock for clock improvement from nehalem to westmere 32nm . That came from intel .
They better deliver. Or you will think the devil got in me , as to how quickly on turn on the hype liar.
