Unofficial " Core i9 " info - coming Q1 2010 to your X-58 motherboard ;)

Again as per my statement of not being a "AMD Fanboy" :razz:

" Core i9 is the new 32nm Gulftown moniker

No integrated graphics for enthusiasts

Several partners and sources close to Intel have recently been known to address the upcoming 32nm Gulftown 6-core monster as Intel Core i9. This doesn

Damnit. I have to ask what the point is, even for enthusiasts like myself. There are no games at present or in the immediate future that promise to take full advantage of my i7 920, games are GPU bottlenecked these days.

There are alot of things coming out or already out that will utilize multi core/multi threading cpu's

for example Win 7 is built to utilize multi core/threading cpu's, photo & video editing software, torrents & quite a few games out there already utilize multicore support.

The inherent thing is how much is that bad boy gonna cost or the hexacore's they do launch. :razz:

This is good news, also this is good too:

Currently holding out now for a DX11 card. There should be games coming out to take advantage hopefully sooner rather than later. This is bridging the gap as far as performance going from current-gen PS3/Xbox speed to the new consoles coming in the next generation.

If you run a Crossfire or SLI config with 2 or more high end cards, you can easily hit a CPU bottleneck actually.

I'm still very happy with my Q9550 (at 3.4 GHz) so I'll probably won't be upgrading till the end of 2010 at the earliest.

The only reason to run 2 cards is to push an especially high resolution. Sure if you play at less than 1920x1200, games can be cpu bottlenecked. All I'm saying is so far there is little reason to go for a quad core for gaming right now, you could say arma 2 uses it but that game runs like crap on every setup there is anyways, there are a few others sure, but right now games are gpu bottlenecked for the most part.

More cores the better if you do a lot of encoding work. If your rig is purely gaming, there isn't a reason to upgrade imo. You're better off getting an SSD.

WTF? Where did the SSD come from? The only thing that this will enhance is the game level load time. But once the game is loaded, the SSD won't increase your FPS. For the record, I think that there's absolutely no reason to go dual-core today for someone building a new PC. Dual core CPUs are dead. That's so 2005ish.

I agree 110% here with rooster, if your seriously thinking your gaming is going to be good on a dual core cpu setup you are DEFINATLY not up to snuff on your gaming info. BESIDES the fact the win 7 os, drivers & other various things will get a kick up in preformance by having more then 2 cores. I'd LUV to see you game on a game like crysis with a dual core cpu @ 3 ghz vs a quad @ 3 ghz. You'll be crying when the guy with the quad core @ 2.4-3 ghz kicks your azz in framerates & preformance over your 3+ ghz dual core !! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Reality check .... games since 08 have had multi core support in them & will become more prodominent in titles this year & oncoming.

SSD improves general computing experience. Unless you game 12 hrs a day like Mr numbers in the other troll thread.......

I agree with ssd would improve general computing ussage, BUT if you had 2 of them in raid0 on a 6 core setup ... that would be a REALY kick azz experience for everything.

Yea I'm thinking of getting 2 80GB ones in Oct. Gonna be fast in Raid 0 and when they become obsolete in a year when Intel releases Gen3, I can delegate these 2 in my HTPC and another computer, or sell em :)

Jeez, how far are the going to go with the die shrinks? 18nm? What will AMD release in it's place?

22nm, 16nm then 11nm.
I think it's physically impossible to go under 11nm with current technology.

YAYHHHHH! another reason for gamer developers make more inefficient code..

LOL at framerate racing. I guess the higher framerate the more elite gamer you are

By the time we get to 11, we will have the technology to go further. I just hope intel stops for a certain period of time. The 32nm push is already enough.
