Abstract: Socket AM2+; Clock speed: 2GHz; HyperTransport Link: 3.6GHz; 65nm process; Cache: 2MB total dedicated L2 cache, 2MB L3 cache; 65W max TDP With the release of the Phenom X4 9350e (and its little sibling, the 9150e), AMD has produced a set of CPUs to com...
Bottomline: AMD’s Phenom processor range is by no means a huge leap forward for the company; certainly not like they were hoping it would be. While it does add a few new features, its architecture is still based directly on the K8 with a few tweaks. This is wha...
Bottomline: Does the Phenom X4 9350e fill its market niche?Yes and no. Instead of this ambiguous, hand-wavy response that lets me off the hook, lets break it down: AMD claims this CPU is suitable for multi-taskers, we argue theres both a limit to how much you can...
Abstract: A few months ago AMD launched a series of revised Phenom processors that use the B3 stepping. This revision cures the TLB problem that blighted the original launch of Phenom and also increases the speed that the processor can reach. Phenom X4 955...
Abstract: Either due to political correctness, customer demand or environmental consciousness (and possibly a little of each), manufacturers have been focusing more and more on the power consumption of their products, in addition to their performance. Nowhere ha...
Abstract: Hot on the heels of the release of its very successful 4000 series graphics cards, AMD has released three new Phenom processors into their lineup. The first is a new top model, the Phenom 9950 “Black Edition”. Operating at 2.6GHz, it is the fa...
Abstract: This article is also contributed by Vijay Anand.It has been quite the turnaround for AMD in recent weeks. First, there was the unexpected buzz about AMD/ATIs new Radeon HD 4800 series. Reviewers and users have been unanimous in declaring these new gra...
Bottomline: AMD Phenom X4 energy-efficient processors are just 65W and perform right where we expected a 2.0GHz Phenom to run at. The AMD Phenom X4 9950 raises the performance bar, but it also raises the max TDP and limits the number of motherboards you can use...
Bottomline: Summarizing the performance of the Phenom X4 9950 Black Edition processor is a relatively easy matter. The Phenom X4 9950 is the fastest desktop CPU to be released by AMD to date. Due to its 2.6GHz core clock speed, the X4 9950 is roughly 4% faster ...
Bottomline: This is a much needed booster shot to the Phenom line which doesnt solve AMDs overall problem with performance but provides great value and excellent power consumption levels. Thanks to ATIs amazing chipset in the 780G with already very low power re...
Abstract: AMD’s latest Phenom CPUs are fast, but not the fastest chips around. That distinction falls to Intel’s Core series of CPUs, which are 5% to 10% speedier, clock cycle for clock cycle. Still, the new units – the Phenom X4 9950 Black Edition, the Phenom ...
Abstract: AMDs latest Phenom processors offer solid performance at a mid-range price, with the added bonus of lower power draw. AMDs latest Phenom CPUs are fast, but not the fastest chips around. That distinction falls to Intels Core series of CPUs, which ...
