just that AMD is better
ardy89 said:Is that when there out!!!! Wow gud for you, will u bench it for us and just take some pictures of the cpu itself!!!!
Haha; it beats the FX-55 in all but one non-gaming test. Even if you could overclock an AMD to 3, 3.5Ghz - you would have to compare it to the maximum Intels can get up to with the Phase Cooling Kits you'd need to get an AMD to 3Ghz; and I don't imagine anybody would think an AMD at 3Ghz would beat an Intel at the same percentage overclocked, 5.7Ghz, or even at the rate you'd get it to from the same Cooling an AMD would need at that speed, around 4.7, 4.8...needforspeed said:The EE beats the FX-55??? Oh yeah of course NOT! The FX-55 OWNS the EE and beats it in EVERYTHING apart from video encoding. The FX-55 is amazing, and when the FX-57 with a San Diego core comes out in April that will be sweet. Even better will be the FX-55 and FX-57 strained silicon versions, which should overclock to way past 3.0GHz, closing in on 3.5GHz.
We shall see... we shall see. But if you can't see how the EE beats the FX-55 even with the Tests in front of you you're very strange indeedneedforspeed said:Honestly, I don't see how the EE beats the FX-55, and even then the FX-57 will beat anything Intel can throw at it.
The FX-55 beats the EE once As you said, in MP3 encoding; I'm not sure where you found the 3D Studio max thing where the FX beats the EE but it would be interesting to see...needforspeed said:If you look at the benchmarks you have shown, the FX-55 thrashs the EE at games. For Christ sake even an Athlon 3500+ beats the EE at Far Cry! Like I said, the EE is amazing at video encoding as it has Hyper-Threading, but the FX-55 beats the EE in mp3 encoding. In 3D Studio Max, the FX beats the EE, and the P4 570 beats the EE as well! OK, the EE beats the FX in everything else on that page, but just wait until the FXs can support SSE3 - then who will be laughing! US HA!
It is an expensive facelift - its a stopgap until the Dual Cores for those who want a powerful Processor now, and can afford one now, and then when the Dualies come out. That is all it is - the same for the FX-57, and any Single Core Processor that's need Budget from now on.needforspeed said:You says the EE is better than the FX-55. Tom's Hardware calls the new EE "an Expensive Facelift"! Who would buy an EE? Anyway, if anyone is thinking of getting the 3.73GHz Extreme Edition, wait until the Toledo, or even the San Diego, cores for the FXs come out and then we will be unstoppable and we will rule the world! MU HA HA HA!!!
