Abstract: Dealing with current news means that we rarely have the opportunity to review old products and of course a comparison between the most recent products and those that came out several years ago can get a little problematic. But we’ve decided to push th...
Fast, Cheap compared to Intel, Has overclocking potential
None so far
We are going to review the Intel Core i7 920 soon which should prove to be quite interesting vs the Phenom 2 processor. It was way faster than the older 9850 BE which shows some improvement. Overclocking wise the processors was about the same but I pe...
The reality of the economic downturn has affected every facet of our lives including the computer industry. While Intel continues to price their CPUs in the $999 price range with little change but a higher clock speed and higher speed QPI, AMD is prici...
Frankly speaking, we had no doubts that the Dragon would demonstrate its competence in modern games, as we had already tested all parts of this platform. What we really like is that new processors show significantly better overclocking results. It doe...
Abstract: quot;Wohoow ... awesome". Thats my first reaction when AMD published their first overclocking results of the 45nm Phenom II; not only because they showed frequencies way above 6GHz, but mainly because they eliminated the cold bug issue, which wa...
Drop in compatibility (for the most part) with current AM2 motherboards, Unlocked multiplier (the Phenom II 920 is locked) allowing for higher and easier overclocking, Greatly improved overclocking over Phenom series CPUs, Good performance for the money (...
Not worth switching platforms if you currently have LGA 775, Doesnt overclock quite as high as the average Intel quad under 24/7 normal condition cooling, Performance doesnt consistently match Yorkfield, an older technology by ~9 months
We thought it may be interesting to see if both CPUs scaled evenly when overclocked. Not being 100% sure if they would scale equally based on being from different platforms and using a different approach to making use of system memory, we were pleased...
Now with the potential for some decent overclocking action, the Phenom II X4 processors represent a much better value than the originals ever were. However, it's unfortunate to see that the 20% clock frequency increase didn't make the Phenom II X4 940...
First of all, these tests show an encouraging sign (for users, testers, and the entire IT industry) that competition in the CPU market is growing interesting again. Phenom II is evidently a success. Moreover, in a number of tasks we can speak about it...

The AMD Phenom II processor series processor may not be the performance winner in all the benchmarks, but it might not need to be competitive in this day and age when the price tag matters most. ...
The new Phenom II X4 920 and 940 are easily the most powerful desktop processors released from AMD to date. They performed well throughout our entire battery of benchmark tests, besting AMDs previous flagship CPU, the Phenom X4 9950 virtually across ...
