Excellent performance for the price; easily overclocked,
Doesn’t have the ultimate multithreading capabilitites of a quadcore CPU,
The undoubted star of AMD’s new processor line-up, its low cost and easy overclocking mean it’s the obvious choice if you are thinking about upgrading your current AM2+ setup or building a new AM3-based system...
I doubt that anyone will argue that all currently produced AMD Phenom II processors boast very attractive price-to-performance ratio. Triple-core representatives of this family, Phenom II X3, are also no exception. They are very interesting solutions i...
High performance, unlocked multiplier, attractive pricing, easily overclockable, value for money, AM3 ready
High power consumption on idle/load
The Phenom II 940 Black Edition was a breath of fresh air from AMD, as we all know their previous efforts havent been that successful. Besides its great performance, its still an expensive processor with a price tag of 14K, which may be a turnoff for...
Abstract: Každé tažení musí být zakončeno rozhodující bitvou. Začali jsme testem Core i7, následovaly dvou- i čtyřjádrové Core 2, procesory Phenom, Athlon, Pentium Dual-Core i Celeron, v lednu hýbaly světem nové Phenom II a vše zakončil test levných Athlonů a Se...
I have to say Im impressed with AMDs latest Deneb processor core. It takes me back years ago to the single core Thoroughbred XP and Venice 64 processors that were capable of near gigahertz overclocks. These chips loved voltage and as long as you ke...

Abstract: Suddenly, triple-core is back on the map. You see, in applications optimized to run only two threads, the Phenom II X3 720’s 2.8GHz clock helps it best all of AMD’s other chips, save the flagship Phenom II X4 940 at 3GHz. Software able to run in more t...
The Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition is an interesting beast. AMD is doing the right thing in targeting the Core 2 Duo with it - and marketing the 720 based on the price/performance - however they were reaching a bit in targeting the E8400. The Phenom I...
Its hard for users to accept an odd number of cores, Occasionally exhibits less performance than X4 810
When I said that three cores is better than two, but not quite as good as four, there wasnt enough data to support my claim. But after watching the majority of our benchmarks prefer the Black Edition X3 720 2.8GHz processor over its 2.6GHz quad-core ...
Abstract: Running in second place is a strong motivator to do things differently—or even better—than your competition. For AMD, that has meant trying to develop a reputation for smoother, less disruptive platform transitions. When Intel launched Core i7, it was ...
