Phenom 9350e looks intresting. I wonder if in India also it will come at a price like 7k. Then it will RULE. Is it overclockable ?

Can this mean that AMD 780G Motherboard got a good Son at last ?

[dOm1naTOr]

yup, it might be overclockable but most phenoms dun go above 3.2Ghz and so is the X2.
But surelly a 780G+X4 9950+HD 4850 wud be the best choice in mid price range for gamin for next 3~4 months.

^^ +1 ,AMD once again looks promising, but for the last 2 yrs there has been many such promising news from them, all failed......so lets cross our fingers a wait until they r released in Indian market

9350e was overclocked to 2.77GHz on stock cooling and became unstable at higher clocks. Still, 2GHz to 2.77GHz is a pretty good overclock.

Game on, AMD!!!!!

Thank god I didn't upgrade my rig.

and 790FX+X49950+two HD4870's in crossfireX mode will be the best high end gaming choice
