Ok, that may be true for the general public. Maybe I have been on this forum too log, but it seems that everyone here talks to other people here, and they are all enthusiasts, not the general public. I assumed we are not as stupid as the general public.

Correct me if I am wrong. Thats the entire reason this forum exists, to educate the people that care to be informed.

It seems that "everyone here" plays games, too.

So get on that train, eh?

Yay. One step closer to Intel's flagship chip from uh...a generation ago.

not even.

If true, at some point this year there will be a PhII to equal the C2Q 9650. I think most of us expected this.

then intel came out the X3380

intel even has a 10x multi chip on the LGA771 side. You guys dont want to know what that yorkfield can do. :X

and yes its an E0.

You guys can glorify PHII all you want. Besides its strong value point, theres no substance behind it.

Nobody in this thread has glorified the PhII.

"Besides its strong value point, theres no substance behind it." - That doesn't even make sense. Any PhII - and C2D/C2Q - has ample power for the majority of users.

This is not a thread meant for fanboyism - it's been a thread for info on a future PhII and also where AMD stands relative to Intel. Discussion has been pretty even-keeled and realistic.

X3380 is not a "desktop" part.

Sure it is, I can put it right in almost any of my 775 motherboards.

Well, yeah, but Intel doesn't market Xeons that way.

Eh, on second thought, I'll retract my statement regarding the X3380. I don't want to be a hyprocrite, considering I've used Opterons in desktop builds.

 

[Markfw]

Yes, I had Opteron 170's, and Real Opteron 248's, and now I have an X3350.

Okay, though if it's all the same to you, could you also do a comparison of the performance of that 2.8 ghz Intel dual-core versus an X3 that you were talking about the other day? I recall you saying the Intel chip beat a higher-clocked X3 in f@h so I'm curious where else the poor little X3 would lose.

Anyway, some possible apps:

Cinebench
Superpi (yay)
ScienceMark (http://majorgeeks.com/Science_Mark_d2835.html)
ViMark 1.7 if you can find it, I sure as hell can't
graysky's x264 benchmark (http://www.techarp.com/showart...aspx?artno=442&pgno=0)
FLAC (http://flac.sourceforge.net/download.html . . . pick your own source audio file)
WinRAR 3.80 (http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm . . . should have a built-in benchmark module now?)

 

[RallyMaster]

Don't even try SuperPi. A X3 will take mid to high 20s to crank out 1M whereas my E7200 will do it in 16 at 3.17GHz.

It was an X4 that I said lost. Your sciencemark link doesn;t work. Thats the one I would be most interested in seeing. And Graysky;s, doesn't it use SSE4 ? I need something fair.

Comparing an overclocked CPU with a stock one. Yay. :disgust:

Why wouldn't that be fair? I want programs that take full advantage of my hardware's capabilities. AMD doesn't support SSE4, oh well.

FWIW, when I ran it last year, my Opteron 165 @ 2.5 Ghz pretty handily beat my laptop's C2D T7250 @ 2 Ghz.

Oh, poor reading comprehension on my point. Ouch for the X4.

Ooops sorry about that. Try this:

Hmmm interesting point, though Intel did develop/implement SSE4 for a reason. I'm with Flipped Gazelle on that one, even if it does wind up making the X4 look bad.
