AMD Phenom II X4 940 vs Intel i7 920

[Bodaggit23]

That 940 does look like a sweet chip. Can't argue that...

For gaming, since performance usually depends more on GPU power, you can get away with a much cheaper platform by going for Phenom 2 and still have performance close to a significantly more expensive i7 platform.

Did you look at the link provided on the previous page, i7 hardly out performs the 940. Plus when you look at the price difference, point made.

Clock for clock i7 is quite a bit faster, and when you bring overclocking into the equation intel wins again... though not for long, most definately amd is making progress faster than intel, and whenever phenom III comes out it will more than likely beat intels offering at that time.

If i was to buy a rig now I'd go back to AMD as well, for one of the Phenom IIs.

That was true back in the P4 days, now Phenom II barely keeps up with Intel's 45nm C2 lineup...
