arraamis Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 Some goodies for you CPU speed freaks :~) http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/print/athlon64-x2.html http://www.hothardware.com/printarticle.cfm?articleid=682 I'm already trying to find someone to buy my FX-55, so I can get one of those X2-4800+ {What a monster}
Pilotasso Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 Man you must got a lot of money to dispatch your system to go after another... ;) personaly Ill wait untill that techology matures a tad further, untill then theres much juice I can still take from my machine. EDIT: after reading the articles it apears that in current games the Fx-55 is actualy faster, no use to swap processor yet, save your money for when software is avaiable for it. It can take months or even a couple of years. .
firesoldier845 Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 If your a gamer at heart then better to wait until multithreaded games come out which could be months to a year. For me, until LOMAC and IL2 need multithreaded CPUS there is no point in upgrading. You can get a $400 single core AMD chip that will be just as fast if not faster than the $1000 dual core for current games. The cool thing is if you already have 939 then your setup for the future when games do come out that could use the multithreads. Until then, I think you'd just be wasting money.
coldcrew Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 I concur. And from the benchmarks it doesn't seem all that faster than the fx-55 anyways
Dark_Sceptre Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Multiprocessor systems never made much sense for gaming purposes. Hardly any games ever have been written with multithreading in mind, and the only benefit you gain by having extra CPUs is that the game can run on a dedicated CPU. If you run many apps in the background that consume CPU, you may notice improvements in speed but if not then buy an FX-55. Your socket 949 mainboard will support dual-core CPUs too, so when there are more games out that benefit from multiprocessing you can get one.
Nate Dogg Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 absolutely no need to touch those cpu's yet, especially since they are currently out preformed by the 55's. But it makes me happy to know that my skt939 MB can handle these new processors when the time does come!
VMFA-Blaze Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 absolutely no need to touch those cpu's yet, especially since they are currently out preformed by the 55's. But it makes me happy to know that my skt939 MB can handle these new processors when the time does come! I currently have a AMD 64 3200 and its running Lock on and IL2 extermley well... There are hardley any slowdowns and that's with all of the settings on high with exception of the heat blur which is turned off of course...... I've personally had some conversation's with an AMD sales rep. a while ago regarding the dual core processer and I'm glad that its finally arrived, this is the future and again AMD is on the bleeding edge...... But as far as I'm concerned I really don't think that I'm going in this direction for now, its much too soon as there aren't any flight simulators that utilize this processor yet...... ~S~ Blaze intel Cor i7-6700K ASUS ROG MAX VIII Extreme G.Skill TridentZ Series 32 GB Samsung 850 Pro 1TB SATA II ASUS GTX 1080/DIRECTX 12 Windows 10 PRO Thrustmaster Warthog Oculus Rift VR
ED Team Groove Posted May 10, 2005 ED Team Posted May 10, 2005 I would like to see the fps data of this monster cpu on a lomac system with all detail on full and highest resolution. Of course a A 10 Strafing a convoy and some of the targets are detonating. Our Forum Rules: http://forums.eagle.ru/rules.php#en
arraamis Posted May 10, 2005 Author Posted May 10, 2005 The overall advantage with this chip, is having all your background resources & services handled by a dedicated CPU and the active application using the other CPU. I just wished they had included flight sims in their benchmark tests. But, I understand why, this chip is geared towards business, pro media, and pro graphic applications. With high end gaming applications soon to be added to the list. My meaning was that ultimately, I will be going with this type of chip, because of my profession & simming, and its great that I can still use my msi k8n neo4 mobo with it.
