Abstract: AMD has priced its new Phenom 9600 to match Intel Core 2 Q6600 but it loses the battle in every respect. The Intel processor has better performance, draws less power and overclocks like a dream, which leaves little reason at this stage to consider buy...
Abstract: AMDs first quad-core processor has been a long time in the making, but the Phenom is finally here. AMD is keen to stress that this is the first true quad-core design; Intels Core 2 Quad is essentially two dual-core processors in one package. The...
In simple terms, there are two routes to processor performance. Either crank up the clockspeeds or build an architecture that can crunch lots of instructions in a single clock cycle. Unfortunately for AMD, the new Phenom falls flat on both counts.Not m...
the new Phenom quad-core processor and 7-series chipset pack in some potent technology. Trouble is, Intel got there first. You need to be better than the competition if coming from behind: AMDs new launches arent quite that. HEXUS.awards We reserve ...
Based on what we saw from our Phenom 9600 Black Edition, I wouldnt expect to see astounding overclocks out of these chips—at least not all of them. Of course, overclocking headroom is never a sure thing, and you might have more success than we did...
Abstract: We had a chance to play with Phenoms 9600 unlocked Black Edition and it failed to impress us, at least when it comes to overclocking. Back in November, yours truly managed to overclock engineering sample 9900 from 2.4GHz to 2.8 GHZ stable and 2.915GH...
"True" quad-core design handles data efficiently; cheaper than competing Intel quad-core chips.
Not fast enough to justify the price savings compared with Intels chips; next-gen Intel quad core due out soon could further the performance gap.
AMDs new Phenom quad-core CPU has little to recommend it over competing chips from Intel. The Phenom is marginally less-expensive, but not enough to make up for its subpar performance. Unless AMD drops prices more aggressively, it looks like Intel wil...
Abstract: December 3, 2007 Launched in September 2003, the Athlon 64 was a true success. AMD had an architecture that was extremely efficient compared to its rival, Intel, whether it was in terms of brute performances or performance / power consumption ratios, ...
