| 1173288 | 2011-01-28 05:00:00 | This is in relation to my previous post... It just occured to me that I havent actually seen gaming charts of AMD Phenom II X4 955 vs Intel i5-655K... is anyone able to provide a comparison?! |

| 1173292 | 2011-01-28 23:33:00 | I find this benchmarks site useful www.cpubenchmark.net They're both on the same list with the AMD Phenom II X4 955 rating better - 3525(intel) vs 3942 (AMD). Pricespy shows the AMD Phenom II X4 955 is cheaper too. | Richardd150 (13927) | ||
| 1173293 | 2011-01-29 00:22:00 | A former flagship of AMD's Phenom II X4 family, the Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition was relegated to fourth-place status by the new Phenom II X4 975 BE model. Despite the pecking order, the Phenom II X4 955 offers the best gaming value of the bunch. It is a true quad-core processor with a sizable 6 MB L3 cache. But even more impressive at this price is its unlocked multiplier. From our experience, the great majority of Phenom II X4 955 processors can run just as fast as the Phenom II X4 975 with a simple BIOS multiplier change from 16x to 18x--an easy way to put this $145 processor on par with a stock ~$200 Core i5-760 when it comes to gaming. The real competition for the Phenom II X4 955 BE is Intel's Sandy Bridge-based Core i3 lineup, arriving at retail in February. For now we'll allow the 955 to keep its recommended buy title, but we're going to revisit this in the near future after we've done extensive testing of the new Core i3 lineup.

| 1173294 | 2011-01-29 00:23:00 | Not sure what model the i5- 655 is, however the i5-650 is better than the x4 955 in gaming. It has better IPC, better turbo mode and clocks way better also. www.anandtech.com If you dont do gaming, the coding power of Phenom is slightly better than the i5.... Edit - oh, comparing a 4 core and a 2 core! |

No, it can't compete with the i5 and i7 SB's, but then remember the Dened core was launched 8 months before even the Lynnfield i5's, and came along and kicked all but the very top end Core Extremes aside from a performance viewpoint. And hey, Bulldozer is drawing ever nearer, and from what I've seen it's going to be very reminiscent of the K7 launch if you know what I mean ;) |

As for Bulldozer, Ill believe it when I see it, frankly, its going to have to be very special to get close to Sandy Bridge and by the time its release Ivy Bridge will be here! I dont see AMD challenging Intel, which wont help pricing unfortunately . . |
