During our evaluation of the Phenom II X4 we couldn't help but have mixed feelings about these new AMD processors. Comparing the Phenom II X4 series to the latest Intel Core i7 processors just cannot be done, as they are intended to serve two...

Phenom II X4 processors didn’t bring the desktop performance to any revolutionary heights. Unfortunately, even new manufacturing process doesn’t let AMD design CPUs that could successfully compete against Intel solutions in all price...

Une bonne alternative aux séries Core 2 Quad 9000 d'Intel. Attention toutefois à la consommation plus élevée, et aux performances dans certains cas précis (Photoshop CS3 par exemple). C'est néanmoins un bon...

Dank AMD sind Prozessoren mit vier Kernen kein Luxus mehr. Seit Ende August stehen die neuen CPUs mit Propus-Kern in den Läden und der mit 2,6 GHz getaktete Athlon II X4 620 wird für weniger als 90 Euro verkauft. Zugleich stellt AMD mit dem Athlon II...

Der Markt für Prozessoren boomt seit Wochen. Seitdem auch AMD zu Beginn des Jahres 2009 eine serienreife 45-nm-Fertigung anbietet, wirft das Unternehmen fast jeden Monat mehrere neue Modelle auf den Markt. Diese Frische kommt dem vorher etwas...
