AMD phenom 2 940 shocking SALE around the WORLD

As NEWEGG , TIGER DIRECT & many online and retail shops with in these two months one processor had mad lot of sale the PROCESSOR is "AMD PHENOM 2 940" newegg and direct had price of $189 before 1 months Newegg sold 1000CPU within 25 days in the USA

As in india the processor is now 10K , as we have in mind the gaming config with in 40K we all go for AMD phenom 2 940.

the lowest price of phenom 2 940 had hit the market in USA before 2 months so the processor is the hottest Selling BUDGET processor in the computer market .

No processor had sold in NEWEGG as Phenom 2 940 with in 25days of 1000CPU thats remarkable .

Intel had never dropped the price of the processor but still , INDIA holds intel market :evil:

AMD phenom 2 940 not that much expected sale in INDIA :evil:

thats ridiculous -- according to my distributor says Till Quad means everyone is going for Q6600 .

AMD holds the poor marketing in INDIA !! But all over the World phenom 2 is making large sale on the processor .

"Saab, aap ko pata nahi kya ? AMD mein overheating hothi hai..."

"AMD is only for gamers. Don't buy it."

"7750 Black Edition ? Yeh kis edition ki baath kar rahe hai aap ? Intel E8600 aie hai. Latest hai. Lenge to baad mein nahi pachtaaoge. Sasta hardware sirf do saal mein mar jathi hai"

"Quad Core ? Q6600 lo. Do Saal se bik rahi hai. Abhi tak kutch bhi complaint nahi aiye hai. Yeh phenom sab patha nahi kaise hai. Baad mai pachtana nahi hai toh Q6600 lo."

"Intel Original 945 Chipset motherboard lo. Ye sabse achi bikhti hai. Demand kabhi bhi nahi kum hogi. Latest product hai saaab! Intel Original hai to achi hai."

.........

The usual attitude of the Indian "babus" who own computer shops. Only the emergence of modern online retailers in India has resulted in people being more aware of what they are buying.

But a majority still end up buying 945GC boards which are the only things available easily in smaller cities.

D

^^ ROTFLMAO

Even I have experienced that.

@ MHG

thats really truth bro ,, Thats y in INDIA the marketing people are more !!

But nobody can blame Intel or AMD here. This is a classic case of the misinformed Indian Customer.

and also the case of customers who never accept new things in life.

Margo soap, Clinic plus shampoo, Colgate brush, Intel processor

^^^ LOL!!!

U r damn funny man!

@ MetalheadGautham Even I got the Intel "original" D101GGC board last time with P4 when Athlon woulda bin much better for me! My shopkeeper told me that " Yeh baaki chipset waale bhi hote hain, par unka maal kharaab ho sakta hai. Isiliye Intel ORIGINAL motherboard hi lo! ". I was stuck with a board with no OC support, only 2 slots of ddr1 ram, when a D102GGC woulda atleast had DDR2 support! That woulda saved me an upgrade now!

ATM I'm doing my best to get evry1 to buy AMD man. You TDF members cleared my misconceptions abt AMD and hence I got the best bang for my buck! Already, some digitans have the 940BE. Myself, static_x, damngoodman999 are the ones I cn confirm. Any1 else?

D

I have bought 5 AMD systems in the last year (home+office+3 friends) and each time the shopkeeper asked me "aap baar baar AMD kyun lete hai? doosre saare customer intel se hi khush hai".

^^^ "Aur hum AMD se zyaada khush hain."

One idiot was so well-informed abt AMD that he told me that the 940BE+GA-MA790GP-UD4H was available for RS.7950!!! The same guy quoted my frnd's C2D E7400 @ 5750, which was the best rate we got at that time! Baabu samjho ishaare, Market sudhaar re... Rum-Pum-Pum!

Before this P2 940 , i was using AMD phenom 9550 which i bought for 6800/- which not that much satisfied but Before that i was Intel pentium dual core which i bought in 2007 for Rs 9900/- .

@ the time of 2007 dual core is the fast & core2duo was introduced @ the rate of 14500 starting price .

With all the thing i considered INTEL is BINGA for MONEY for a computer geek who often changes the rig .

Intel is good processor but No good VLM , AMD may not fast as INTEL but it is good value for money

Athlon X2 7750 for 3.2K -- there is no intel as compared to this one @ the rate of 3K

AMD phenom 2 940 for 10.3K -- here also the same no intel is much compared @ this rate

Thats y i like AMD

Abe ullu ke pathe, you could have bought it then and there and sold it for HUGE profits later :twisted:

Strongly disagree about AX2 7750BE. Its one of the worst CPUs by AMD. Intel PDC E5200 is much more awesome @ Rs. 100 extra.

I would disagree with your disagreement

you can't term a processor bad just because it couldn't overclock much. At stock speeds, it easily beats E5200. Remember, the percentage of buyers that overclock their CPUs is 10-15%. And remaining 85% will be happy with its performance.

I would say it is one of the worst overclocking BE edition processors but certainly a good processor and worth every penny.

I disagree with your disagreement to my disagreement.

As a black edition its MEANT to be overclocked. And measuring a CPU's worth PURELY on basis of stock performance instead of maximum capable performance after investing in a cheap cooling solution is wrong.

And lets also not forget that while E5200 is a 65W CPU, 7750BE is a 95W CPU. Its a wastage of 30 watts. If you use the CPU for 8 hours per day (like me) that results in 63.6 Kilo Watt Hour extra power consumption and resulting in additional cost of Rs. 318 @ Rs. 5/unit of electricity.

And the margin with which 7750BE beats E5200 is also small.

^^^ He also sd that the Corsair VX-450W is for RS.1550! I woulda bin a millionaire in a day! But I dint wanna run the risk of ending up with a Zebronics Real Power 450W or a VIP 450W or an iBall 450W!

My current h/ware vendor is a good person. He came to gimme an ethernet wire I ordered from him... when he came here he told me that he has shipped in a good stock of the new AMD P2 920/940 CPUs and if I was interested in upgrading... he told me that this new AMD CPUs are quite cost effective

.

I have long been a proponent of AMD, which is NOT the same as being a blind fanboy. In the current state of affairs, if one of my clients wants top performance without regard to cost, I tell him to go for a top-of-the-line Intel system. In most other cases, it makes no sense to buy Intel.

I remember a discussion we had here in TDF a few years ago, at a time when AMD was both faster and cheaper. One pro-Intel member's closing argument was that the only advantage of AMD was that it had more VFM. Be your own judge of that.

Not long ago, a client asked me to assemble a video editing machine for him. I considered Intel because this is the one area where Intel CPUs have always had an advantage. But in the end I went for AMD because, with the need to distribute funds among all the other equipment he needed for his studio, it still made more sense to go for AMD and lose a few per cent in redering speed.

^^I guess I fall in the same "proponent" category and I advice ppl to go AMD when the performance and price are the same.

But nothing prevents me from backing E5200 as the best low budget overclocker.

E 5200 is gr8 overclocker , No doubt , i agree !!

Whats the Difference AMD phenom 2 940 & AMD phenom 2 945 i guess DDR3 ?? any other difference

DDR3 alone makes GR8 difference. And 945 is NOT black edition. 940 is.
Better than 945 is 2 wait for 925 which will have 95W TDP. SWEET.

Anyway, the reason people go to 940 is to buy the MOST powerful AMD DDR2 CPU ever but its still cheap enough to be affordable by the masses and also is a black edition.

There had been some issues raising from AMD is When AMD combined with ATI graphics card gives better performance But when it is used with Nvidia card the performance is not that much when it is compared with the ATI card ???

Is it true ??

Lies. Plain Lies.

The only (if you call it an issue) issue is that ATI has stopped manufacturing chipsets for Intel CPUs. If it made 780G for Intel, AMD would have gone bankrupt :lol:

^^^ Yup. Those are lies. If nVidia cards wouldnt work well with AMD CPU's, then, well, AMD would lose a lot of potential CPU buyers. AMD wouldnt want this to happen, would it?

Oh ,, thanks i had confusion abt that !!

but ATi cards cud work in CFX config coupled with a 790gx/fx/x mobo, which gives bout 20~30% boost. And sor some chipsets, u can even use the onboard display ports too like DVI, HDMI if u use an ATi card.

Now, Phenom II X2 550 is going to take the baton from X4 940.

i am hunting for a good lappy these days and yesterday i went to a lenovo showroom and told him to show me all lappies wid discrete graphics, he said bhaiyya laptop mei discrete graphis card nehi ata , sab onboard hi ata hai kyuki laptop mei itni jagah hi nehi hoti ki koi graphics card fit hojaye :shock:

.

i pointed out a model to him which had 8400GS 512MB discrete graphics and he said nehi woh bhi ONBOARD hi hai :-|

, sab laptops mei onlboard ata hai aap maan kyu nehi rahe ho. he was then giving a wicked smile as if am a fool out thr n00b abt laptops, i was feeling like to break his teeth :-x

.

ROFLMAO. Report to Lenovo about this guy giving false information. And make the call from that store itself. Then you give a wicked smile

^^Actually thats partially true. The GPUs are solderd ONTO the motherboards and can't usually be removed. Except for particular models.

D

It's really hard to find a decent GPU in laptops sold in India. Most people buy laptops with Intel GPU's and couldn't care less so they don't bother to stock high end models.

What is even worse is the lack of screen resolution options. I couldn't find a single 15.4" screen that was higher than 1280x800 anywhere barring Dell online where you pay upwards of 9k to upgrade from 720p to 1080p.

i did used the term SOLDERED and said GPUs in lappies r soldered on board and told them that DEDICATED GRAPHICS MEMORY wala laptop dikha bhai jisme nvidia ya ati ka graphics ho but he was adamant to his onboard Term,

what was more funny was that he was a EXCLUSIVE LENOVO SHOWROOM dealer and he was also having Dell Vostro lappies for demo in his showroom :lol:

, exploiting the word Exclusive :lol:

@drvarunmehta
when i bought xps m1530, it was just 2.5k upgrade from 1280 to 1400. and there option for 1680 for another 2k. but 1680*1050 isnt worth for a 15" screen.

I heard nvidia lappy gfx are failing quite a bit, giving laptop companies quite a headache...

Yup, saw a large page related to it on dell site. it says ready replacement for some followed symptoms, like no display, horizontal/vertical lines on display, artifacts and lot other. I didnt face any.

D

It only affects Geforce 8400/8600 chipset.

Such things become a real headache for consumers, especially those who buy a laptop so that they can carry all their work around everywhere. I know how much I hate Seagate for selling me a bad make of the 7200.11 500GB. Nw even whenI have the replacement, I make sure every byte of data is backed up with at least 2 frnds or in 2 DVD's! Can't imagine the look on ppls faces when their screen suddenly went black,etc.

When are assembled laptops gonna b available? I'd like a lot more freedom in choosing my chipset if i were 2 get a lappy!

@ utsav LOL!
