  • I recently asked an Intel employee how they felt about AMDs true Quad-Core architecture compared to Intels two dual-cores stuck together. I liked his answer- "Show me the performance improvements or energy efficiency. We will introduce a native Quad ...

  • Socket AM2+ design enables upgrade path for Athlon X2 users; inexpensive for a quad-core CPU; independent memory controller simplifies overclocking; paired with inexpensive, low-power-usage motherboard chipset
  • Slower performance with comparably priced Intel Core 2 Quad chips; SSE4a multimedia instructions incompatible with Intels SSE4 instructions; erratum in first chip models slows operations
  • Though faster in multicore-aware programs than most dual-core chips, AMDs first round of Phenom processors fall behind Intels quad-core offerings....

  • "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:  Den Phenom X4 9600, AMDs ersten Quad-Core-CPU für den Desktop, gibt's ab 165 Euro. Damit positioniert ihn AMD gegen Intels Vierkerner Core 2 Quad Q6600. Wir prüfen, wer das Duell der Einsteiger-Quad-Cores für sich entscheiden kann. Prozessorherstelle...

  • Four individual CPU cores, integrated memory controller, power management for each CPU core and the memory controller, runs on any AM2 and AM2+ motherboards
  • Slower performance than Intels competing Core 2-based chips The Final Word Those of you who already own an AM2-based AMD motherboard can give your PCs some added punch by upgrading to a Phenom 9600 quad-core chip. Sure, its not as fast as an Intel Co...
  • Those of you who already own an AM2-based AMD motherboard can give your PCs some added punch by upgrading to a Phenom 9600 quad-core chip. Sure, its not as fast as an Intel Core 2-based CPU, but its still a very decent product, which also has plenty ...

  • 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, ...

  • Four cores on a single die. Potentially efficient multicore scaling.
  • Lower performance than the equivalent Intel CPU.
  • Phenom is finally here, but seems six months late and still a work in progress....

  • Rich feature set and potentially good tweaking capability.
  • Seems a little pricey for CPUs that are still only modest performers.
  • New BIOS updates cure stability issues, making the M3A32-MVP a solid choice for Phenom users. ...

  • We wish to thank NCIX for lending us the Phenom 9600 and motherboard we used in this review. Testing the Phenom 9600 has been interesting. The BIOS and CPU-Z agreed on the speed of the processor, but AMDs Overdrive utility showed the "actual" speed a...

  • Avec une genèse aussi compliquée, peut-on vraiment en vouloir au Phenom d’être là où il est sur le plan des performances ? Nous l’avons vu au long de nos benchs, l’écart architectural entre le K8 et le K10, a nombre de cœurs et fré...
