Buuuuut my turbo boost runs at maaaaaaaaaaaaax speed! I've gone plaid!Yes ....... Something like that. I got confused with all the Intel Turbo Talk ....... now wheres that Whiskey ..... beer is not going to help
Its a lot simpler than you guys think for the reasoning behind AMD holding back. A) they needed a new architecture which can take ~3-5 years to develop B) They aligned the release with 14nm FinFET. They couldn't do 22nm like Intel because it would have been FX Excavator++. No one on the OEM motherboard side would play along because AMD would have stuck with the AM3+ socket.
I disagree. Most of the later one's were crapping out around 3.8 on ambient.As for the Phenom II: all of them were overclocking in the 4/4.1GHz on ambient cooling, whether there were 945,955,965 or 980's...

talk me into it?
im not rich but if it actually makes a real difference i can find a way. the idea of 8 cores at 4.5ghz sounds cool but not if they don't do anything. i'm trying to rationalize somehow. i'm thinking i won't feel a difference but i feel like i've seen posts in the past by people with older generations of amd processors that swear the system feels faster than intel even though benchmarks are lower. if amd tech has some kind of multi tasking magic that makes slower cpus feel faster i can only imagine what it's like with all dat horse powa.
You get to play 'puter and build a new one? And DDR4? I mean honestly if cost isnt the issue then I just dont see why a reason is needed

You were lucky.I never had one not hit 4.2. B97 C3 stepping was the newest chip I had and that was a business class chip 95w locked multi equal of the 955BE
