Thread: Where's the 940?!?!

Where'd did AMD hide the Phenom II 940?! I was looking around the CPU/Processor section at "The Egg" and I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked for AM2+ Phenom II's! The 940 was pulled from it! Now it's just the 920 which isn't a BE. I had my eyes set on that 940... But I guess I was too late? Did the 965 intro nudge the 955 into pricing territory too close to the 940? Geez, I'm so ticked at AMD right now. I've been considering a C2Q honestly for my next build; they're getting cheaper and still have superior performance (i.e. Q9450, Q9550, and Q9650).

Yep Tiger Direct does carry it. If you want to get this CPU just jump (quick) on buying it as the 940 BE's I think are being phased out. However if your motherboard supports the 955BE with a BIOS update that would be a good choice for a CPU upgrade (the 965 BE is too costly).Don't even consider C2Q dead platform for a new build though just wait till until the Core i5's are out instead.

It’s an older AM2+ processor, it’s been phased out!

Just get a 945, it’s only 95w and is the same price and C2Q do NOT have superior performance. You’re pissed at AMD for what? Because they don’t keep making old chit for you? Get real.

Just remember, any C2Q platform will be NON up gradable, so go ahead and dump some money into a throw away platform.
