AMD has priced its new Phenom 9600 to match Intel Core 2 Q6600 but it loses the battle in every respect. The Intel processor has better performance, draws less power and overclocks like a dream, which leaves little reason at this stage to consider buy...

AMDs first quad-core processor has been a long time in the making, but the Phenom is finally here. AMD is keen to stress that this is the first true quad-core design; Intels Core 2 Quad is essentially two dual-core processors in one package. The...

In simple terms, there are two routes to processor performance. Either crank up the clockspeeds or build an architecture that can crunch lots of instructions in a single clock cycle. Unfortunately for AMD, the new Phenom falls flat on both counts.Not m...

A smartly engineered processor, but for today’s applications it’s lacking in bang per buck. AMD’s Phenom X4 integrates four cores onto a single die, each having access to both an individual 512KB cache and a shared 2MB L3 cache. It...

Lets get this out of the way first: AMDs Phenom micro-architecture isnt going to produce results as fast as Intels Core 2 micro-architecture, especially not against Intels 45nm-based chips, but it sure as heck is competitive against Intels 65nm-b...

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...

Its a classic Hollywood script- AMD, the underdog, came out of nowhere with the Athlon64 and captured the hearts of the enthusiast and a reasonable market share from the 800lbs gorilla that Intel is. Not only did AMD do well on the desktop but even the...
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...

The goliath that is Intel can do little wrong at the moment. It came back with a bang with the new Core microarchitecture almost 18 months ago, followed that up with consumer-oriented quad-core processors over a year ago and has successfully launched...

The Phenom 9600 Black Edition has been knocking around in Damage Labs for a while now, and Im afraid I havent done it justice. The Black Edition is an intriguing product in a number of ways, because its a relatively affordable quad-core processor wi...
Based on what we saw from our Phenom 9600 Black Edition, I wouldnt expect to see astounding overclocks out of these chips—at least not all of them. Of course, overclocking headroom is never a sure thing, and you might have more success than we did...

We had a chance to play with Phenoms 9600 unlocked Black Edition and it failed to impress us, at least when it comes to overclocking. Back in November, yours truly managed to overclock engineering sample 9900 from 2.4GHz to 2.8 GHZ stable and 2.915GH...

Today, you can actually go out and buy . As noted in his earlier , AMD is shipping its Phenom 9500 (2.2Ghz) and Phenom 9600 (2.3GHz) CPUs. A Phenom 9600 will set you back about $275—not too shabby for a quad-core CPU. In fact, that $275 puts it in...
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...

Phenom is here. Today, you can actually go out and buy AMD "true quad core" Phenom CPUs. As Jason Cross noted in his earlier Phenom preview, AMD is shipping its Phenom 9500 (2.2Ghz) and Phenom 9600 (2.3GHz) CPUs. A Phenom 9600 will set you back about...
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...

Phenom 9600: Good for Upgrades, but is it worth it for new systems? Finally we are able to bring you some Phenom benchmarks! After Phenom launched a few weeks ago, we were able to get our hands on a Phenom 9600 2.3GHz Quad Core processor and I did ext...
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...

If youre reading this article, chances are you already know at thing or two about Phenom processors. After all, theyve been in development for years, and AMD has been talking about them publicly for quite some time. In fact, weve even reviewed the e...
The Phenom quite obviously isnt a bad CPU design, given the way it performs on a per-clock basis and how its performance scales from one to four threads. In many cases, its enhanced execution cores crank out some solid gains in instructions per clock...
