- Wierd, this bit. Any-body have any idea why FEAR is so much quicker on these processors then the faster clocked Intel processors -- in this instance/finding?
Nice result by AMD assuming its not some coding bug hitting Intel but not AMD implementations
Hopefully later revisions will break this 2.6ghz ceiling - hading roughly the same clock max with my S939 X2 :p

- I don't get it. The AMD processors are "almost" as good as the C2Q so how is that good news for AMD????

- Why didn't they ompare it with Intel high-end processors Q9300 and higher! I'm sure Intel will kick it.
High-end vs. High-end.

- Tee hee hee. Way to go DKAngel! How much would Intel charge if they had no competition. Intel Fanboys should understand that the only reason Intel CPU's are affordable, is because AMD force them to keep prices down.

So conversely, Intel is the only reason AMD chips are so cheap?
While Intel has been quick to regain a lot of the popularity lost during the past few years, that is no excuse to forget about the #2 company in computer processing. AMD made a name for itself with the original Athlon and Athlon 64 processors and it would only seem logical that its next generation product called Phenom (K10) was to raise expectations all over the place, and it did.
Today we will be comparing the Phenom 9500, 9600, 9700 and the 9900 (B2 Stepping) against the recently released Core 2 Duo E8400, as well as the very popular Core 2 Quad Q6600. An older Athlon64 X2 5200+ processor will be added to the mix as well.
