  Ouch, sorry for the double post:).
  
  Well, it is a pitty that some crapy reference motherborad from nowhere has been used for this review. Moreover, the settings (2, 2, 2, 10) were also not optimal for nForce4 chipset. To tell you the truth, I expected testing with at least DDR500, because it is how you would run this processor.
  
  Also I find quite funny that Anandtech got such a miserably overclocking processor. People on other sites reach 3GHz on air.
  
  What about power consumption comparison?
  
  I expected much more from Anandtech.
  
  Kocur.

  Doom 3 benchies have the FX-55 listed twice.

  Need the X2 and P-D to REALLY see where this chip lines up as well, money wise to peroformance.

  Waste of cash. Might as well just get a dual core.

  Oh if you guys could only have fathomed the power that Ryzen was to behold. Such silly humans of yesteryear.
