Not everyone has enough money to use the over expensive intel quads, some people live on a tight budget

Fool, architecture not clock speed, also i'll say it again - the E8200 is the C2D's 2nd/3rd revision, this is the tri-cores first, infact - compare it to something like the E2180, one of intels first dual core

Rather than comparing their brand new dual core, to a highly modified, top of the line dual core - thats called biased

ENTERPRISE

well, if AMD doesnt get that F'ing clock speed up then they will have wasted billions of dollers developing an architecture that ends up performing like 4 semprons with some glue, so i don't see your point here.

Also, if you are going to directly insult people for stating the obvious then you need to ****. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF INTEL REVISED C2D A BILLION TIMES, amd still played the waiting game like their native quad would 'save the day'.

It doesn't, so stop crying over BS. The new B3 stepping has been review and it doesnt overclock either. get over the fact that amd is in second place.

Comparable cpu's? lol, my $70 e2140 will overclock to 3.5ghz, so lets run that one with a compareable AMD cpu, huh?

I'll be waiting :haha:

lol well if i can get a glued 3 core sempron with a 3.2ghz clock rate for under 70 bucks they would have my dollar

Mmm..I think AMD is on the second revision with Phenom. B2 now B3.

Double post, please delete

What he said is far from the truth

In my previous post I posted some benchmarks from Anandtech showing Wolfdale outperforming Phenom quad core in applications that utilize 4 cores.

If Wolfdale can outperform phenom Quad core in some of the applications that utilize 4 cores, then that means AMD tri-cores is not going to be better than Intel dual core

So, I think Wolfdale are going to be as good as Phenom tri-core in applications that can utilize 3 cores. In applications that don't utilize 3 cores, Wolfdale would probably destroy those tri-core phenom

...lol... I wouldn't compare this tricor with the E4500 just because they are clocked more similar... what matters is to which chips does it match were it counts, in the $!

And yes... as long as multithreaded software is a rumour more than one core is only good for... folding (ok, I have to try you know )

Good for wolfdale and its silly name
