Looks pretty terrible if you ask me....

Cooler -OCZ vendetta 2
CPU - Phenom II 940
Ram - 2x2gb Mushkin redline
mobo - MSI K9A2 plat
video - 2x 4870, 4x4850 (installed right now is 1x 4870)
H/D - WD5000AAKS
PSU - Corsair HX1000
O/S vista ultimate 64bit

I have super pi runs done now and will do some 3dmark 06 in a few min

Why is he just using the multiplier? Is he an idiot?

Edit: There are just superpi (which, as has been discussed, is useless) and also 3dmark 06, meh-ness. Hopefully there are some more benchies chucked up soon.

3dmark06 CPU scores are not too bad for judging the power of a CPU though...and clock for clock so far it's about 800 pts behind a similarly clocked q6600 ...which is already 2 generations old.

Emlyn_Dewar · 24 Dec 2008 at 13:39

I don't know why he's just clocked it using the multi though, pure laziness and just grim...
Hopefully someone gets one of these on an SB750 board and tries a bit harder.

What is the release date for these?

gareth170 · 24 Dec 2008 at 14:17

he's not using a 750sb motherboard and his up to 3.8ghz. so just think if it was on a 750sb motherboard and a person with more brains

.

give it to me i'll clock that baby the way it should be..

The AMDs have always sucked at SuperPI, anyone got any proper gaming benchmarks?

the wopster · 24 Dec 2008 at 20:31

i have been reading this thread on the original forum and these pII's dont look to bad infact they look quite good the chip he had was a very bad first edition ES sample and he finaly got it stable @ 4gig 1.478v on air after a bios update he was offering the chip to anyone who lived close to him the use of it because this was the first time he had used an AMD chip he was sure someone that knew AMD could get a lot more out of it i have the link to the original thread if anyone wants it im not sure if i am aloud to post it as a link

mmj_uk · 24 Dec 2008 at 20:34

from what the other thread says the performance is somewhere between C2Q an Core i7
getting quite close to i7 in some benchmarks

looking at prices i have seen as well you should be able to get the 3ghz 940 black edition for around £220
