Phenom II X4 955 vs FX 4110

[oTommy052]

PCComponentes already has a price for the FX 4110….. I don't know if it's possible to be more indecisive than I am right now.

Without the price being an important factor, you say the X4 is better. But I don't understand why. It's what I said before: 32 nm vs 45, less heat, faster clock speed, more cache... and yet, it's worse. Are there really any tests of the Bulldozer's performance?

You read what has been written? You have a link to a review, and obviously it is not the only one :lol:

But they are always going to try the best and most expensive!! They barely say anything about the FX 4110 anywhere…

I think there is a review where they made the 4 cores/8 modules work like a 4100 by capping it.

Not specifically the 4110, but you can get an idea with the results of the 8150, they give both an oc and superpi as high as the Sandy (hwbot.org) and you will have that with any model. What does is that you can see that they perform a little more than the phenom but as if they had half the cores, so to match an x4 you would have to go maybe to an fx-6xxx. And saying this is repeating what has already been commented…

But I don't think anyone can tell you until you see more data, you'll have to wait

Although in the dissipation of "series" they are ahead of Intel! :risitas:

How hard AMD is working!! using liquid cooling and all…:eoh: and I who didn't even put the heatsink on the 2 1156s I have :nono:

I have not yet used a stock cooler. I have 2 TRAY and a 775 whose cooler is still in its box.

Hello everyone, looking for information about the x4 955 and fx 4100 I have arrived at this thread and I find myself in the same situation, it is difficult to choose between the two although in my case the balance is inclined towards the 955. I am going to take the plunge.
I want to configure the 955 for gaming and I don't know much about it, so I ask for advice what would be the best configuration (better motherboard better graphics card...) to get the most out of a 955?

Welcome, for full configurations you must use this subforum:

HardLimit - Full configurations

By the way, good price/performance choice the 955, don't forget to put budget. If you're doing well with money you could look at an Intel i5 2500K. In the short term, investing those almost 100€ extra from Intel in graphics will yield more, but in the long term, Intel could give the edge where the 955 won't.

By the way, good price/performance choice the 955, don't forget to put a budget. If you have enough money you could look at an Intel i5 2500K. In the short term, investing those almost 100€ extra from Intel in graphics will yield more, but in the long term, Intel could give the edge where the 955 won't.

Thanks:D in that case what do you advise me: a 955 at maximum or a 2500k with integrated graphics and with less memory? with the possibility of expanding in the future
