Excellent Media Encoding Results, Exceptional RevisedMemory Scores, Low Price
umption,
The initial release of the AMD Phenom processor was a very rocky one, littered with low clock speeds, poor memory performance scores and TLB errata. Some things have changed since then, and at 2.6 GHz, the Phenom 9900 offers a more competitive part ag...
I believe many of you remember the triumph of the first 64-bit x86 Athlon 64 processors. They were the ones that made AMD processor leader for a significant period of time: until Intel started rolling out their CPUs on Core micro-architecture. It was t...
I was actually quite pleased with the performance of the Phenom 9900. Given AMDs public commitment to fixing the TLB errata, and their move to 45nm with the "K10.5" architecture (Barcelona with some additional improvements) I suspect that AMD will be...
