Abstract: When testing the Gigabyte MA790FX-DS5 with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor we were pleased with the results. This AMD 790FX motherboard had no Linux compatibility problems, an acceptable level of performance, and a smooth BIOS upgrading process even for ...
The bottom line is that AMD's Phenom processors are currently too expensive and don't perform well enough to offer serious competition for Intel's quad-core processors. With the low clock speeds, AMD needs applications that make use of multiple cores t...
"True" quad-core design handles data efficiently; cheaper than competing Intel quad-core chips.
Not fast enough to justify the price savings compared to 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...
So the BIOS-based workaround for the TLB erratum can have quite an effect on performance. How close were the estimates weve heard of a 10% performance drop? Lets summarize our results and consider the percentage differences. No TLB patchTLB patchDiff...

Abstract: With its first desktop quad-core processor – arriving after delays of more than a year – AMD has finally abandoned the Athlon brand. The new Phenom range follows the initial launch of the Opteron-branded Barcelona server parts last month....
Very noticeable performance boost compared to the older Athlon X2.Great price, cheapest quad core processor on the market.Easy upgrade for existing AM2 users.
Gets trounced by Intels quad core offering.Limited overclocking potential.
Abstract: To see the results table, click . To see the benchmarks, click . AMD recently launched its first desktop quad-core processor, Phenom. The company has been keen to stress that Phenom is the first true quad-core design on the market, as Intels Core...
AMD has clearly priced the Phenom at the same level as the Q6600 and in that respect it misses the mark as the Intel option delivers better performance at standard clock speeds and will overclock like a dream. To add to AMD’s woes, Intel is already...
