3.0GHz Phenom and 3-Way CrossFire Spotted
MojoKid writes "AMD revealed the clock speed of the Agena-based processor they showed to the press today yesterday in conference, and clocks in at 3.0GHz. There has been a lot of speculation that AMD wasn't able to push early Phenom samples to frequencies this high, but here is proof that at least some Phenoms clocked at 3.0GHz do exist. You may also notice that the system hit a Windows Experience index score of 5.9, which is the highest score possible. It should be noted that AMD talked about 4-way CrossFire as well (a 3-way CrossFire is shown online), and that the company has continued plans to produce discreet GPUs at all performance levels (mainstream — enthusiast), even after Fusion arrives."
Because we automatically subtract 4.1 for being on Windows?
Too bad they've taken a backseat to intel
Meh, the most fun I ever had was in the back seat.
4.1 is a gross approximation. The exact number is actually closer to elevendy billion.
If you are about to mod me down, keep in mind that this post was most likely sarcastic.
One designed by a nerd who lost 4.1 of his fingers in a horrific tape drive accident back in 2005.. I've never seen so much red tape.. o_0
which is totally what she said
Those three graphics cards alone are probably going to need a 750 Watt power supply. Add in the processor and other components, and the system in those pictures is likely running on 1000W.
Meh. No amount of performance is worth that. Not to me, anyway.
Give a man fire, and you warm him for the night. Set a man on fire, and you warm him for the rest of his life.
All this indiscretion is making me (sic).
*Still* negative function...
