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...
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...
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.

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...
