They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, and no one is trying to here. The Phenom II X4 980BE is a speed bump in a very stable and successful existing platform. There is no new technology incorporated, just more speed…..and there is never anythi...
The Phenom II has had a long and active life for AMD. It is hard to believe that it was over two years ago that the first Phenom II X4 940 came rolling off the lines. Since then we have seen the clockspeed go from 3.0 GHz to 3.7 GHz. In this day and ag...
De Phenom II 980 Black Edition is een leuke processor voor een prima prijs, maar het is tijd voor wat nieuws. Met 3,7 GHz weet de quad core prima te presteren. Echter, Intel laat zien dat het met minder GHz ook kan. Overklokken doet de Black Edition pr...
AMD sigue llevando su arquitectura Phenom II cada vez más lejos, y es que debemos recordar que esta familia de procesadores comenzó en los 3GHz del 940BE, y con el nuevo Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition se alcanzan los 3,7GHz, una mejora considerable. A ...

Soll im Preisbereich bis 160 Euro die Wahl auf einen AMD-Prozessor fallen, so ist der Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition nur dann keine schlechte Wahl, wenn überwiegend mit Office-Programmen und 3D-Applikationen gearbeitet wird. Allerdings empfehlen wir den G...
Der Phenom II X4 980 BE leistet exakt das, was man von ihm erwartet und drückt obendrein die Preise älterer X4-CPUs: Auf der einen Seite eine für alle Titel ausreichende Spiele-, auf der anderen Seite eine gute Anwender-Performance bei einem vergleichswei...

Als vor kurzem der Phenom II X4 975 rauskam, prophezeiten wir, dass es die letzte 4-Kern-CPU der aktuellen Serien sein dürfte. Nun hat uns AMD eines Besseren belehrt - hoffentlich verschiebt sich AMDs neue Prozessorgeneration nicht nach hinten. Der AMD ...
3.7GHz QuadCore Processor, AM3/AM2 compatibility, Virtualization Support, Good upgrade potential for AM2 systems,
Not cost effective after Sandy Bridge Release
IMPORTANT: Although the rating and final score mentioned in this conclusion are made to be as objective as possible, please be advised that every author perceives these factors differently at various points in time. While we each do our best to ensure...
The new AMD Phenom II X4 980 processor is pushing the “Deneb” architecture even closer to its limits, with a standard operating frequency of 3.7GHz. Of course while it is nice to see AMD pushing their processors even further, essentially what we have h...
There's not a whole lot to say here about the Phenom II X4 980. AMD originally introduced the Phenom II architecture over two years ago to compete with Intel's Core 2 lineup. Intel has since been through one major microarchitecture revision (Sandy Bridge)...
