Didn't do so spectacularly great with x4 Phenom II
Not on wiser averages, to base my choice of purchase, although fresh
into it being closer to there wasn't time for a more informed choice. Low-cost dollar, including the Chinese/Asian market is around a third less than I paid. FX-8100 - FD8100WMW8KGU Looks likely a most-common budget candidate. No variations and plainly unmistakable for mid to entry performance at 2.6Ghz. A perfect alternative to somewhat proprietary Dell S775 MBs, imaginatively, still churned out by the thousands of millions, at least on Ebay, no less for factory refurbished under $20/US on a 30-day warranty. Dell no less could be a veritable army of blue-collar data crunchers united, if they didn't simply have to stick it, as to be expected, the CPU on the farthest cheesy corner of stink of a proprietary CPU heatsink unit. This AMD is locked tighter than a drum, so there's no messing with it on .5-factoring clock multiples;- and I do not care, not even one bit, to mess with the FSB. The third more cost is different, a permitted perspective of hindsighted knowingness, which should be appraised closer to 3.0Ghz, on My misdirected Money, possibly to forgo 95-watt and shift up into the 125-watt mindset. I'd also like an AMD inclusion, so to speak also on the cheap, for an unlocked multiplier;- Like of course not necessarily meaning I get. My BIOS is, additionally, among those for unlocking cores, although that's altogether in a different WOW ball game, rather crapshot on defunct x6 units downscaled for an x4 aftermarket toss on the table. Plain and simple, 3 to even 3.4Ghz is a closer to certainty for a prize-grade shot at the lowest dollar. A significance that is also one sensibly discernable, emphatically there for the added performance. Which I'll bank on sight unseen across vast multiples. Being touchy-feely about a 95- and 65-watt class Phenom II processors is rather starting to seem more distant and vague. If AMD plays the beastie boy at 125-watts, that's well within consideration given a supportive basis for common-placed MBs and power supplies. That same game above, as I'm aware of 200-watt and above in a like class of AMD CPUs, is effectively dead from the point of a Ryzen, nor quite being longer in a same budgetary class of an underlying platform, (MB and PS), as I see my Phenom II should still command. Close enough for a nickel-dime whine, in sum, although I think I'll wait a little before turning directly around to go back for seconds on another 3.4 to 4Ghz, depending on multiplier action, for some more potential fun in the overclocking hustle. That's just the breaks, boys. Used merchandise at the House of the Rising Sun. Check out AMD's octal cores within the same placement: AMD didn't pull that extra 1Ghz, after-burner, Turbo stuff out of their heinies for nothing. |
