CPU/Mobo AMD Athlon II X4 reviewed

[Dark Star]

AMD much awaited Porpus has finally showed up and as usual Inpai guys were the first to review it. The AII X4 priced at $116 seems to be the cheapest Quad Core till date and is placed in direct competition with Core 2 Quad 8200. The test shows how well the processor work, not only performance the processor easily achive 1ghz stable overclock. The AII X4 is no slouch either and will surely tempt user with overall better performance.

The model tested is not the best from AII X4 stable , the higher version will be out soon.

might be b/w 5.5 and 6k.

At 5.5~6k rate this quad would be steal.

At 5.5~6k rate this quad would be steal.

116$ comes down 5.6k+ extra distri + shipping etc.....so it will arnd 6-6.5k

 

[dOm1naTOr]

AII X4 seems jst 10$ more than X2 550.

so 5.3k + 500/- .... shud come under 6k.

AII X4 gonna lead if we compare AII X4 vs PII X2[non unlocked].

Athlon II x4 is extreme vfm as it beats the cr@p outaa Q8200 in 95% benchs , while Q8200 costs 8.5k

 

[comp@ddict]

And for Athlon II X4, you won't be needing a 6k mobo but a 4k one, whereas under 5k mobos from INTEL suck!!
