5850 is almost double the performance of the 4850 as far as I remember.

I am still waiting on a list of benchmark results in a table (15 different real world benches minimum) showing the 2500k beating FX8150 99% of the time. And I will still be waiting when I die of old age. Just because you are passionate...

It will help games mainly. which are 1-2 threads atm. There is no disabling cores, as they will perform better even if the 2nd core in a module is simply idle. If you run many single thread apps simultaneously it will use the first...

I would say 1.5 CPU and 1.3 NB, But thats mainly due to temps on my system.

Heh, they placed their bet further into the future than Intel. And will have meh performance in the near term as such. Which makes sense for them as they have less R&D resources to burn, and thus they have to plan further out with...

It legitimately does better in a variety of workloads. It just isnt particularly suited to single thread games. Performance will go up ~10% in 1-2 thread games with the win7 scheduler patch.

If it hasnt been suggested, the PCIe bus needs to be locked at 100. higher settings can cause funky issues with video cards. also try looser ram timings or more ram voltage. Also the 4850 is still decent, even for 1920x1080. Just...

Please refrain from making up percentages. It makes you look bad. With a 4.5/5.0 split the AMD chip would probably have a win/loss in a list of real workload + game benches of 33%. loosing ~66% =/= loosing 99% even though they look...

Im reminded of the original Phenom launch, alot. The TLB fix helped performance by a bit, and it became a more suitable q6600 replacement. (though the q6600 could beat it with both overclocked.) Now, with a 10% boost, it will be a...

Quote:For others running their Voltages at 1.4+ for 4.2 Ghz that's crazy. If you lower your HTT you can run 1.3v. Indeed, doing a multiplier OC (NB and CPU) doesnt require 1.45+ until 4.6. HTT speed also doesnt seem to affect much. ...
