What is the best Amd cpu out right now - Page 3

people end up with 4.2GHz out of Thubans if they are lucky. With the same effort youll get 4.8GHz if you have a bad FX chip.
FX is not what it should be, but with overclocking it outdoes the Phenom II series because of the massive overclocking potential.

Phenom II X4 965 BE. Its ~$90 less than an FX chip, will only perform marginally worse thanks to lower OC headroom.

Paying ~$200 for an AMD chip is idiotic, since that's 2500k territory, and AMD doesn't even make a processor that can compete with that.

here's the fact of the matter. usually, clock for clock, Phenom II is better. If you maxed out overclocks w/ambient cooling on a 6100 and a 1090T, for example, your 6100 would probably be about 4.7-5GHz, and on your 1090T might be 4.0-4..2GHz
the extra 500-1000MHz eliminates any closeness.

the extra 500-1000MHz eliminates any closeness.

And yet when I fire a game up it is going to run faster and smoother than the Phenom rig.

What it really boils down to is whether you care about E-peen benchmarks or actual Game performance.

Regardless of how many benchmarks Phenoms can squeek out a "win" in, they still do not run Games as fast and smooth as an FX can.
