Hmm the Shanghai proccies though not ground breaking are certainly a notch above the older barcelona cores..

AMD's 'Shanghai' 45nm Opterons - The Tech Report - Page 1

Sadly performance falls short of the competition, but whats intresting is the power footprint, wonder how the desktop versions will score against Core 2 quads ? in terms of power footprint ....

Hopefully the Phenom 2 will be priced correctly, for mid level proccies ie: 5-8k for a quad core

vantage comparison of deneb,agena and oc'ed deneb-

[taher]

the phenoms are not able to go far when o'ced through through fsb only multiplier are able to take it to higher numbers....from that wht i can presume is that procy's with unclocked multiplier only show potential..

FSB on phenoms?
generally its better with multi's but phenoms can oc well with bus speed too.
but since you get black edition proccys for about the same price as the intel counterparts with locked multis its no problem.

some results for P2 920(scroll down a bit for the pics)
2.8Ghz stock with 1.36
3.5Ghz oced with 1.41

In these tables Phenom II 940 3800 OC means its has been overclocked from x15 multiplier to x19.
the temp of the CPU was low (avg. 50) with ZALMAN 9700NT fan.
at last you shhould know that we have Mainboard problems!
the best overclocked figure of this CPU is with SB750 South Birdge but because this CPU do not have bios support from any MainBoard corps,
we could'nt overclock it as maximum as it can support!
But the CPU was stable at 4200MHZ with ZALMAN 9700NT fan, unfortunately we could'nt install any OS with the mainboard Biostar Tforce TA790GX A2
and these benchmark that we attached was taken with M3A32-MVP Deluxe in GameWare Labs
we try to overclock this CPU using Biostar, Jetway, DFI to have SB750 South Bridge but each of them have various problems. (most of them had bios problem)

For tables see this: AMD Phenom II

NDA broken... Yorkfield in sight... AMD is back

As we can see from the benchmarks, the AMD Phenom II X4 940 seems like a pretty OK processor for pairing up with the ASRock AOD790GX/128M mainboard. In terms of cost/performance ratio, it is definitely more worth your penny than getting a Core i7 which is faster. In fact, the QX9770 compared is not widely available and cost a bomb.

The AMD Phenom II X4 overclocks by 26% which is a 800MHz from the default 3GHz on AIR COOL. It is reported that this processor can do 6GHz under LN2. Of course, that remains a not practical solution as no one will want to place a LN2 tank at home and run the system for 1 hr per tank other than competing for world records.

In conclusion, this processor should be able to take good advantage of the ASRock AOD790GX/128M as this board opens a lot more opportunities than just using the embedded graphics. You can use Hybrid or even run a proper CrossFire solution on it with 2 ATI cards.

Overclocking the AMD Phenom II X4 940 to 3.8GHz on ASRock AOD790GX/128M Part 2
