So, what should I talk about, first? Well, lets begin by what I think interests the most people: performance. How did your subject in this article, the Phenom II X4 965, perform when facing the offerings from the competitor? Lets recall the comparis...
While the initial Phenom II launch was an improvement in leaps and bounds over its original Phenom predecessors, it still left AMD fighting against Intel's Core 2 parts, something which they could only really do on a price-oriented footing rather than...
