This is AMD's saving grace, the price

Ya then think about the motherboard & DDR3 RAM
getting corei7 + X58mobo + DDR3 ram 4GB => 16000 + 16000 + 6800 = 38800/- insanely priced , but i agree the performance will be boost
AMD Phenom 2 940 3Ghz + AM2+ mobo + 8 GB DDR 2 800Mhz => 8700 or not correct but distributor told will be with in 10K + 4000 + 5200
17000/-
21800/- will be more for the corei7 Rig
We can buy 2 X 4850 make cross fire with superb motherboard.
with 40K budget !
Intel is very good architecture and superb in processor now a days , but when concentrated on the gaming the processors and motherboard are insanely priced
Even we can buy the Spider platform from the AMD With Quad GPU's .
the reviews says that AMD phenom 940 will be the best bet for the gaming with good clock speed 3Ghz & 45nm for OCing
One more thing Most of the Application will not use 8 threads @ processing may be future application could enhance the performance of the Corei7

I think Deneb has a future for mainstream and budget gamers.

^No it cant...lets see if it beats the i7-920 at its max air OC...4.0-4.1Ghz...i dont think so...
Problems i see....lets see how that pans out.
20-25% better at stock??...comon the i7 is much better than that.
In their tests they have only compared it with the older AMD procys...
The only benchmark there which can be run on intel procys is cinebench and the score is a lowly 13k...thats not a whole lot faster than intels older quads not even close to the 18k on i7-920 stock and that too its OCd to 3.8Ghz

Well Overclocks till now have been performed on boards that don't officially support the phenom II and with beta BIOS, so some scope for improvement is still there^No it cant...lets see if it beats the i7-920 at its max air OC...4.0-4.1Ghz...i dont think so...

Yes the phenom 2 will be the budget buyers dream..those benchmarks by the way are already posted in this thread...as i said before deneb cant touch nehalem in the performance sector...see the cinebench score for that...a 3.8Ghz deneb cant touch the 2.66Ghz core i7....AMD will see alot of profits now...unless intel comes out with the core i5 in feb or march or something....I wish there was more competetion to the core i7...that would mean price cuts
EDIT: phenom 2 940 at 9.7k? WRONG...The prices listed there are in pounds....thats 280$...the exact same price of the core i7 920 which is around 14k...here in india it will definetly cost 1-2k more so it will be 15-16k...its still cheaper than the core i7 combo though....
phenom 2 940 at 280$ + asus M3A79 deluxe 200$ + corsair 4GB ddr2 800 80$==560$
core i7 920 at 280$ + Gigabyte x58 DS4 240$ + corsair xms3 3GB--120$==640$
phenom 2 config nearly 100$ cheaper...thats only around 5k difference...

Yes and maybe the performance would improve a bit further as AMD is supposed to release a new chipset next year(880G)
damngoodman999
damnbadman666
yes but that that price is listed before two months & expected , sorry i dint post the lastest price announced for INDIA
Especially for the AM2+ sockets the AMD decided to lower the price 30%-35% from their previous
The price was listed before the market falls , in december AMD has not official announced the price In indian rates , the certain market rates for INDIAN AMD MARKETING
AM3 sockets controller will be launching APr/09 + AMD phenom FX 2XX series are going to be launched Before 2009 december - this product price is listed " INSANELY "
1st week of january phenom2 INR rates will be revealed
corei7 handles DDR3 ram so not to compare with the DDR2 ram
DDR3 is high performance controller than DDR2
Compare corei7 with the phenom FX - 280 .... when they launch

^Ah but thats the point...by the time the FX-280 is released the 32nm westmere will be released from intel and that will be the new performance standard so everyone will say the fx series is a flop...The point is intel is a generation ahead and currently theres nothing amd can do about it.
