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...
If you use programs that take advantage of multiple processor cores, or if you often run many applications at once, you can buy four cores and gulp less juice with AMDs new e-series Phenoms. Jon L Jacobi, PC World Lowest online price: £N/A...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
AMD has finally delivered the 2.6GHz Phenom X4 that they promised back in November. Add two somewhat unexpected energy efficient processors and you’ve got a more differentiated and more interesting Phenom lineup. Not only do we get some new chips...
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...
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...
