Phenom II easily beats out Phenom X4 and gives midrange Core 2 Quads a good fight, Overclocks well, suggesting significant headroom for 2009, Dragon platform makes implicit
Quite powerhungry, as a platform, when compared to Core 2 Quad, Core i7 is still comfortably faster in most applications, 940 price needs to drop <£200 and 920 to <£150 to entice enthusiasts away from Intel.
The twin Phenom II processors from AMD, released today and available later on this month, are exactly what the company needed just over a year ago, when the original quad-core Phenoms were released. We say this because performance from the top-of-the...
Abstract: Its way past high-time that AMD launched a counter-strike to the flurry of compelling Intel CPUs thatve been launched since Phenom first got off of the ground. The switch over to 45 nm manufacturing seemingly took a lot longer than the company origin...

Abstract: NameAlmost a year to the day after Intel made the move from a 65nm manufacturing process to 45nm – allowing it to pack more transistors into a piece of silicon and thus ramp up clock speeds – AMD finally joins in the fun. For AMD it's the same old story o...
Runs cooler than the Phenom 9850, Phenom 940 has unlocked multiplier, Price rivaling current Quad Core CPU offerings, Increased L3 Cache, HyperTransport 3.0, Stock clock speed on 3.0GHz on the Phenom II X4 940...
Only a 25% overclocked increase on air...
When I went into this review I kept an open mind about what to expect. I did not want to get my hopes up but neither did I want to set a bad expectation. When I started off my testing I kept two things in mind. One was where the Phenom 9850 stood on t...
Low cost of ownership, Good performance, Backward compatibility, Overclocks well
Flashing the BIOS is not for everyone
AMD plans to launch Phenom II in two phases. In the first phase they plan to launch two quad-core variants in AM2+ package, followed by low-voltage and tri-core variants in AM3 package, which will add support for DDR3.So if you have a motherboard based...
Abstract: When AMD first launched the Phenom line of processors a couple of years ago, it couldnt manage to gain too much attention. It was re-launched the following year in 2008 with a slightly better reception, but not enough to make people switch from Intel...
I must say that I was surprised and impressed by the performance of AMD’s latest Phenom II CPU. Theyve played second fiddle to Intel ever since Core 2 was launched and now, suddenly, theyre competing with the Core i7 at similar price levels. Thats t...
Excelente placa con buena calidad, Cuenta con todo tipo de accesorios necesarios (incluyendo puentes Crossfire más largos), Tarjeta XFi incluida, Enfriamiento pasivo CircuPipe muy eficiente, Conectores para cables externos facilitan la...
Para ser un modelo Platinum esperábamos más rango de voltaje para el OC
e impresionesY así termina una vez más la revisión de la nueva estrella de AMD, el Phenom II. No vamos a mentirles, el producto es en general excelente y lo hubiera sido mucho más si hubiera salido hace 1 año en vez de hace 1 me...
Luego de una extensa batería de pruebas, vemos como el Phenom II supera ampliamente al hoy antiguo Phenom en 65nm y que también se posiciona firmemente como un candidato seguro para una plataforma de juegos, de escritorio y para entusiastas con un cost...
