Phenom II easily beats out Phenom X4 and gives midrange Core 2 Quads a good fight
Overclocks well

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.
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...
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...

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...
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...

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...
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...
Pareciera que con esto AMD por fin logra sacarse encima algo del Karma que cargaba desde que Intel lanzó sus procesadores Core 2 Duo. Aunque todavía no alcanza el rendimiento de los nuevos Core i7 (lo que significa finalmente que los que quieran...
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...
