I really hope AMD releases a good CPU this time. Intel is getting too arrogant with the release of i7.
Ahhh.. About time for them to come up with a proper response to the Intel processors. But I agree. No matter how high they can go with it with air cooling or ridiculous liquid nitrogen setups, what matters most is their REAL WORLD performance.
A performance edge of AMD on Intel would be nice, but I'm just hoping they improve power efficiency as well!
LOL yeah. In the end most of the retail chips are only able to overclock to 2.6GHz range at best and we don't even know whether or not it's Prime95 stable
AMD overclocks 45nm Phenoms to 4GHz and beyond - The Tech Report Fail. Forget about getting it Prime95 stable at 4GHz by using air/water cooling 3.0GHz range should be more realistic for Phenom II.
I really hate demos using liquid nitrogen. They are nothing but gimmicks to fool the n00bs. Even Intel did one for the Core i7 launch. I don't know what they are trying to prove... Any CPU with liquid nitrogen can overclock to stupendous heights, but it doesn't mean they can overclock well with air cooling. Really pointless demos.
