It’s bizarre. They seem to have aimed at scoring really high in synthetic benchmarks and forgotten about real world performance. For gaming the i5 is unchallenged really (price-performance) until the ivybridge processors surface.
well, I know I can go straight for Intel in ~4 months when I upgrade my processor.
That reminds me, some retard freshie at school is trying to overclock his i7 to 7Ghz using server tower + ln2
Told him that he is throwing away fuckton of money, but apparently California education does not include how to use their brains.
Oh, he also thinks that air cooling is retarded.
Why would you even want to overclock a CPU to that speed?
Disappointed in bulldozer, but at least Thuban is falling in price. That will be a good processor to get, still competes well… 1090t, here I come!
It’s not like he is going to have a lifetime supply of ln2, isn’t he? If you have the money then it is not so stupid as you think it is. It’s fun for the time and you really want to strech out your penis to the longest way possible. WOWOW… Wait what?
Well, he doesn’t. He believes that a small reservoir of ln2 will last a long time.
I don’t think they don’t teach basic chemistry/physics anymore.
I feel this is a good place to note not game coming out for several years will need this kind of processing power.
I have a California education. :hmph: Although to be fair, it is a UC education, and my primary education was all in the pacific northwest.
An extra t? Stop the presses.
ITS A NATIONAL EMERGENCY
SPIDERMAN IS BACK?!
NO, HES OFF BEING EMO FROM THAT LAST MOVIE
Apparently he’s been replaced with spidertman.
Haven’t you heard? Spiderman is now a half black, half latino teen called Miles Morales and he may turn gay in the future.(Link)
Except that bulldozer performance per core is similar to an Intel running at half the clock speed. Games don’t want 8 weak cores at the moment, they generally only want a couple of really powerful cores, like Intel has. Just check out the tri-fire review at Tweaktown
