Most users never put their machine through what makes a 3960x worth the
$1200
and not everyone of my PC's need to do what my power machines do. This is my
chip, and I'd love to try the 8core one day.One thing to note: UNlike the intel
extreme editions, these chips clock down unlocked core usage, or so I have
read.
Regardless, I love the system I built with this chip, and considering the
price difference is tremendous, am to no end impressed. AMD promised a bit more
with these chips than delivered (that is the opinion of most tech savvy types,
and people in the industry I talked to) but one thing we all agree on is there
is no better value for the money than this chip.
Love it, and I think you will too.
