When It Comes Out Witch Will Be Better?
i9, no AMD processor, not even their six core ones are in the top 25 consumer cpu's list.
not one of those are good and they don't have plans for Intel core i9.
1. There is no core i9 and there are no plans for one. 2. Bulldozer likely won't be that great. If it were, AMD would have shown off some benchmarks when they announced the general release window, but they didn't. Bad sign.
You mean Ivy Bridge..it wont be called an i9 (the next gen. for Intel) vs. the Bulldozer. The Ivy Bridge shows good signs as being the true enthusiast version of the Sandy Bridge were the Bulldozer will have basically the same platform as the T version of the Phenom II X6 but with 8 cores and better control for core usage. The 2600K version of Sandy bridge at present has 4 physical cores and 4 virtual cores for the potential of 8 cores if they all kick in! That said there are only a very few programs that can take advantage of more than 4 cores so the only real advantage would be speed. The present CPU's can be OCed to 4.0GHz and a bit over So until programs play catch up there's little advantage to the new CPU's except bragging rights!!
