AMD showed up to the party, but they brought light beer instead of champagne. That’s not entirely bad though, as some people prefer light beer (though I still question why). That AMD is able to at least poke their head into the party is probably t...
Abstract: AMD has had an interesting 2008. While their GPU-division, ATI, have been able to release products that have competed well with NVIDIA’s products, their CPU-division on the other hand has had a rough time getting products out to compete with Intel’s f...
Affordable, Reverse Compatible, Uses both DDR2 or DDR3 RAM (When AM3 boards are released), Overclockable, Cool n Quiet 3.0 Works,
Fusion does not give a true boost, AM3 Motherboards not released (yet)
Being a person who is enthusiastic about computers and having benchmarked many systems, I would have to say I am impressed with the Phenom II and look towards the future to what these processors have to offer. At one time I was disappointed with AMD a...
If you already have an AM2+ motherboard then the Phenom II 940 is the upgrade your system deserves. It performs nine to 31 per cent better than the 9950 in most CPU and non-GPU bound gaming tests. However, if you’re choosing between a brand new AMD an...
Compared to AMD’s first quad-core processor, the Phenom, its Phenom II successor offers great improvements, particularly in the area of energy consumption. With all due respect to Intel and the performance milestones it has achieved, the Phenom II o...

It would be wishful thinking to believe that the Phenom II X4 processors were ever going to give the Core i7’s a run for their money, at least in terms of performance. For starters AMD are pitching the Phenom II X4 940 for just $275 US, while the 920 v...
In conclusion, AMD have created a worthy successor for the Phenom processor that continues with backward compatibility and finally breaks the 3Ghz barrier and offers users a truly sturdy cooling system with the Cool N Quiet technology. The movie from...
With a name like Phenom II we were kind of hoping to see something major in change from what AMD calls its improvements to the K10 architecture. Now, we aren’t scoffing at the increase in L3 cache from 2MB to 6MB, or the new fabrication process, but...
AMDs Phenom II is better than Intels Core 2 Quad Q9300 but not a patch on Core i7 and that’s a problem. AMD is playing catch-up with a die-shrink and a move to DDR 3 while Intel is busy changing the world. ® More CPU Reviews... Intel Core i7 VIA N...
