@luciferano: I haven't got into the details (finding prices and comparing between your two builds, but I have doubts that you could make a system with a Phenom II x4 that has the same specs as waethorn's C-60 system. I'm uncertain though without prices. A while ago, I was thinking that you were saying that you might as well pay the difference between the prices of the two systems because your proposed build offered a huge jump in performance/price, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Just in case, the price waethorn proposed does come with the price of Windows, in case you thought it was just hardware.

Also, do you have sources to defend your claims of the FX-8120's power consumption and performance relative to the i5-2500K? They seemed like pretty specific figures so maybe you have tests to show? I only learned of these tricks from blaz and palladin(number something). :)


Well, strkes was just trying to disagree with Tomfreak's point about AMD not marketing well. But the thing is Tomfreak just referred to the "better APU's" any of which Bulldozer is not in.


I'm not sure if you're mistaken here or you just mean something like Bulldozer-styled cores (i.e. the modular architecture). But I'm pretty sure, Trinity has Pildriver cores.
