OP just chose a poor title for this thread and he based his assumption on a crappy review but people here already told him that a Phenom is a good cpu compared to CQ2. When it comes to i7 thou its another issue, the i7 still the king.
Truth. Which is why the PhII chips are priced like they are - in competition with the C2Q series not the i7 series.Originally posted by: Atechie
The Phenom2 is okay...against Intel's last-gen.

His tests are on a clock vs clock comparision, instead of a price vs performance comparison. He compares a $275 CPU vs what back then was probably a $1000 CPU in a QX9770 and a Core i7 965. Thirdly, he dismisses the price vs performance comparison by telling people to "shut the hell up and go have a drink. " :roll:Originally posted by: Xellos2099

The Phenom II 940 was tested with 2GB of RAM
The QX9770 was tested with 4GB of RAM
The i7 was tested with 6GB of RAM
i will put money that the two intel processors u listed will rape any PHII when u factor in overclocking tho.Originally posted by: BladeVenom

when did u sneak over here? This is naekuh btw.Originally posted by: iandh
If Phenom II's are just "okay", then so is the entire C2 lineup IMO.
I can't remember what I originally found my way over here for, just decided to sign up since I'm always looking for another good forum to waste time onOriginally posted by: aigomorla

OP why is the thread title "is phenom 2 really that bad"? who said its "that bad"? have u even read a review of the phenom 2? it was hailed as AMDs comeback, how on earth is that bad??? i think u're mixing it up w/ the phenom 1. it competes w/ the C2D and C2 quads. when price is factored in it beats them IMO especially w/ the cheaper AM2+ mobos out there.Originally posted by: Xellos2099
I just jumped on the gun with newegg deal of the 940 and free mobo. Now I read some review, some say it is pure crap and other say it go toe to toe with some of the higher end core 2 quad. What's everyone opinion on this?
Btw, I am current using Gigatybe DS3 v1 and a oc E6400, Q9550 is not an option since my mono don;t support it.
Perhaps because AMD's PR lead people to belive that this CPU would be competative with Intel's i7 line.Originally posted by: poohbear
