That's not the point, the point is that they decided to make a processor with three cores instead of going up by stepping's of two, like you're supposed to!
It was a dumb idea either way since Intel is better! :)

I believe it was actually ment to be a quad core but they failed at it and decided to make a triple core. It still has 4 cores however and if you get the right one you may be able to unlock and make use of the 4th core. cmiiwQuote:

I have no idea but intel has to fuck up some way, they probably just throw their bad batches away because they charge so much more per processor and people still buy it.
Intel is only good as long as you don't spring for that god-awful Socket 1156. Whoever had the bright idea of creating TWO simultaneously existing sockets is a bastard.
Also for the record: AM3 > LGA775 :downs:
1366 is the only way to go with current gen sockets, whoever thought down-stepping to DualChannel memory on the 1156 socket was a good idea after teasing us with TripleChannel should be shot!
AM3 isn't > LGA775, at least not when you're talking about the high-end processors for those sockets!
QX9650 > Phenom II X4 965 Black
No, but AM3 has a future and LGA775 doesn't.
c wut i did thar? :realsmug:
AMD = Bang for the Buck
Intel = Brute Power
If Intel would throw down their cocky attitude of such powerful CPU's and lower the prices a bit. AMD would literally be fucked. Bent over and all. They'd have stop dead in their tracks.
Lets face it, and although I may have AMD it doesn't mean I'm a fan, Intel needs to get their shit straight on quite a few levels as AMD has, then we'd finally be on the right track with these sockets, prices, and performance.
AMD isn't the best. Intel doesn't have a lot of their own pros either.
It's just going to take a few centuries for them to realize this because they obviously aren't thinking about it.
I'm always gonna buy Intel. Simple as that. Why? Because at each level the Intel processors are constantly better performing than AMD processors. The price might be a little higher, but you pay for that performance and then overclock it to the speeds of the next price level up.
That wasn't the case until after 2006. AMD used to always be better than Intel.
