what happened to sub-6.0GHz Phenom II X4's?

Why not check out user made benchmarks over at XS?

no, really, i have no Phenom II X4 rig, and i surely can't afford one right now. so, i searched the net, all i can find were the benchies provided by AMD themselves. i was asking where to find third party benchies of these monsters.

Instead of searching other websites for reviews try finding a way to own an i7 instead.
Phenom II are no match anyways. So we already know that.
For me i'm still not convinced that the Phenom II can't beat the i7. It would come down to price. if Phenom IIs are in the range of Q6600 and E8xxx price I would dump the i7.
9-10kPhp would be a very nice price range or $250-$270.

this is not a price/performance comparison. i was JUST WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 6.0GHz X4's, where nobody else can recreate them.

Could be that it was cherry picked by AMD but will know for sure how these new Phenom X4 will perform in the hands of the general public...then will see first hand and unbiased results

well, the main reason probably is that when Phenom II was launched, it reached the market almost at the same time as i7. at almost same price, phenom II didn't actually sell well. mao ni nga way mga benchmarks kaayo from end users jud..

very soon naa na gyud benchmarks, hehehe...

nuh? bitaw, come to think of it, possible jud.

answers like this are very much appreciated, rather than flames from AMD fanboiland.

I've been a user of both Intel and AMD, ive had more AMD processors compared to Intel but the PhenomII is not a show stopper, it does NOT even beat the age old Kentsfield in every single real world testing and benchmarking, but I am hoping for the PII to really capture a huge % of the market, competition is always best for consumers and right now the PII isnt really competitive in both price and performance.

morag wa pa man pang bato ang AMD sa Core i7. sa akong nasabtan Q9xxx series pa ka level ani sa Phenom II, right? Intel still rules the roost pero morag henay henay na apas AMD.

so, how did they manage the 6.0GHz OC? do you think they used cherry picked parts? most review sites couldn't recreate the said OC.
