i read that the new AMD FX-60 kicked intels 955EE butt all day long in testing. But what about overclocking the crap out of each, then what? the intel has been past 7ghz with 15000 3d05 on on vidow card a 1800x. anyone who how the AMD can compair?

Well, the Intel chip will always out-clock the AMD chip because it is 65nm and the FX60 is 90nm. If this will help it much, I dont know. I would think it would, as from what I read they were pretty close, so if you got the Intel up over 4-4.5 GHz, I would think you would start beeting the FX60.

But if you clock the Intel at 4-4.5, 80% chance that you can get the FX60 to 3.0 which would still beat the Intel.

Really? What about non-gaming apps?

The FX-60 would probly out perform the Intel chip .....but it would be close because people say Intel is good for multitasking, but i bet it would be REAL close

im an intel guy, but unfortunately im gonna have to say that at this point in time and for a little while longer... AMD has the best of the best, OCed or not...

for all programs

There is an article in the latest maximum pc detailing this matchup. The intel puts up a valiant struggle, but it still gets creamed by the fx-60

True, but if you were to put both cpu's on a good phase change system, the 955 would hit around 5.5ghz, maybe more, and the FX would do what, 3.2-3.3ghz. In that case, it would be a much tighter race, and the Intel might even edge out the AMD. Some of the guys at XS have been putting up crazy high benchmarks with sub zero Preslers.

right thats what i saw. what about just water colded. is dont think it could get much past 50c on my setup. at 3.84ghz and 1.44 volts my 840 only gets to 45c on 100%load.
