if anything,the performance of a 6core processor would increase over the period of time compared to 4core processor as more applications n games would start supporting more cores n become multithreaded optimized....
AMD Phenom II X6 vs Intel Core i5

actually its kind of true. performance do degrade. the transistors & the cache memories starts to fail over time but to see noticeable difference one need to keep using a processor for 5yrs+, that too on heavy apps to make all the circuits utilize fully. but if the performance degrade is valid for AMD as well as Intel processors cause Intel don't use some unbreakable or some super circuits & transistors that are not prone to getting damage.
err price?
my 2nd PC running P4 Prescott @ 3Ghz hits 60degree with ease during normal usage.

1. yeah i agree they have least knowledge abt such things.. i need to find sum gud shopkeeper/retailer.. do u knw ne specific in delhi>??
2. I think u shud give a thought once again if u have studied electronics.. kk first do u agree dat AMD rigs emit more heat dan oders???
n either device is mechanical or electronics.. dere is always sum performance degradation.. in case of mechanical u can feel easily bt in case of non-mechanical its nt d same..

the 2nd point is not correct. an AMD rig never emits more heat. just the old AMD processors used to heat up like hell. & yes AMD's fan is small so heat can be an issue sometimes. but for most of the time AMD as well as Intel rig are well cooled by the stock fan to be in normal temperature. mine works at 25-45 degree. when in idle & gaming.

Those problems only arise when a chip gets heated over the critical temperature on a continuous basis throughout its life or due to power surges. Only then transistors will fail on a large scale. I'm talking about optimum conditions. And the chip technology now isn't what it was 10 years ago. It is really arbitary to think NOW that the performance will degrade.
Right place for the right price.err price?
I had a Northwood which I had bought 8 years ago. I know the problems which I faced. The computer finally died a year ago.
After 6-7 years?
Under optimum conditions, a chip would function the way it should. There is hardly any "degradation" in 2 years or even 5 years.

most of the performance decrease which ppl feel is because of apps becoming heavy,not due to proccy get slow.

usually I don't comment much but in this case i couldn't stop myself laughing at you.. you are one Ignorant person i have never ever seen in forums.....
It's not the processors (Intel or AMD) degrades, Operating system performance degrades if not taken care ..... Many Dumb local shops tell these crap based on OS...
I am using an Intel P4 2.8Ghz Northwood for last 7 years and temperature goes to 50 degree in normal conditions...but still working properly without fail
Same here, It's my First own system and still it's performing same how it did in his prime years...

Congrats mate... That's one heck of a processor. Enjoy it.
can u please post your Winrar benchmark Test score whenever possible.. I am kind of freak to estimate the performance based on that score... Intel i5 750 Scores 2758 (W7 64bit Ultimate, 4GB Ram, winrar 4. beta 4).

No idea why all the reviewers use WinRAR time/benchmark to compare processor performance. Not even properly multithreaded. 7zip benchmark is much much better - gives the right picture.
32bit Operating Systems can't use 4GB RAM. Use Windows 7 64bit.-=[DDS]=-;1326483 said:

first of all congrats. nice system. now click & upload some pics.
3DMark Vantage is a good one.
3.25Gb usable if you are using 32bit OS. but maybe 512Mb is taken by the IGP of the motherboard but still doesn't makes much sense cause it should take from the remaining memory.

Yeah, agree 7zip too but did u tried winrar 4 beta's . They are very good in multi-threading...
7zip is very sensitive with systems. Speeds differ in same config... which is not good to consider for Benchmark.. Winrar gives clear picture about processor Speed....
@=[DDS]=
Run Winrar and Press Alt + B and wait for sec's to display "Resulting, K/B's"
Also you should stick to 64bit platform in order to use more than 3-4GB....

hope 4D isn't a player of "Made in India" PSU market.
