very interesting q wilson. maybe we should have the amd rep follow up on it?

practically i dont think itll make a big difference, but then again 100-200mhz across the other 3+cores actually does :)

cant wait for more cores to be dropped on the desktop field within a reasonable power envelope, just like the x6's !!!

4.0 ghz six core processor that drops into my existing mobo socket. Smart marketing by AMD, they may not have the performance market. But they definetly have bang for buck.

Wondering as for gaming most games only use 2 cores still? Aside from gtaIV, or is that changing sometime soon?

Not sure how much more support we'll see for multi-threading as it's apparently a complex process to code. OTOH, most folks these days are multi-tasking even while gaming (teamspeak, monitoring, background music, etc.....) so I suspect that using a priority/affinity manager to force secondary apps onto the last couple of cores might be worthwhile.

Now if the 6 core Phenom would work in my Asus M2A-VM (which should work since i've tried the 720BE for it), that would be a kick a$$ upgrade for a ~2-3 year old motherboard.

running it stock? maybe yes, maybe not. overclocking it? suicide :)

Yeah, I think the motherboard would just say "fvck this" and burst into flames like this:

usually you look at the filtering capabilities of the unit. if good? go for it. if good+properly cooled? oc as well. neither? hmmmm

i dont care what review site say, just look up a picture of your future mobo or take a quick look whats under the hood in there

3-phase voltage regulation? Not a good idea.
