Advantages: Highly overclockable, will eat, chew and spit out anything! PRICE!!!! Disadvantages: its milli seconds slower than the I7! so no disadvantages at all!!!
On for my 7th review!!
I bought this remarkable peice of kit approximately 3 months ago, and i have to say it certainly does NOT disappoint!
With masses and masses of power it will spit out anything with grace and style and is the equivelant to using a nuclear device to knock off a door! full on over kill but done with pure style and less mushrooming and carnage!
so the basic standard is 3Ghzx4 when it comes out of the box... ok, so for many times as much you can have Pentiums I7 with more oomph and quicker! but the AMD comes into its own when you decide to overclock the already beastly device! i have read in bench tests it has peaked at 5Ghz! but definitely not recommended! i think 3.5-4Ghz is a safe bet, for standard cooling and pre-set voltages..... but that is still a whopping 14Ghz of combined power! BEASTLY is an understatement ...
Advantages: Low Price, High Performance, High overlock capability Disadvantages: None
One month ago I decided to bought this AMD Black Edition AMDPhenomIIX4 940 processor to upgrade my old one. I choose it because I need more powerful performance to operate my favorite games and some design graphics activity which need high end peripherals requirement to run smooth.
I combined this processor with my existing peripheral such TA790GX motherboard, 8Gb Ram and 512Mb DDR3 GeForce 9600GT PCI-X Graphic card. Since the first time I booting up using this PhenomIIX4 940, I found my computer run absolutely faster when loading my Windows, more than 2 times using my old processor.
When I try to run my favorite games PES2009 and NFS Carbon, I can run both games so smooth at highest detail setting. I have also overlock it up to 3,4Ghz and run for a day and I found still stable performance and just a little heat, but I think it is ...
Advantages: Price, multitasking, AM2 and AM2+ compatibility, 65 nm energy save technology. Disadvantages: When overclocked the temperatures are high but stable.
AMDPhenom 9500 quad core processor reviewed.
I?m not the biggest PC hardware master, but I have some knowledge about it, and I need to say that this processor surprised me with it?s great power.
It uses socket AM2+, but I?ve heard it works on AM2 socket unfortunately on AM2 socket you can?t use it?s full potential due to changes in processor architecture. The 65 nm technology does not only save energy but as well it keeps the CPU cooler, it does not produce so much heat. The 4 cores make it a great choice for people who use many applications at the same time, like a busy office worker. The multitasking of this processor is at really high standards, I own this processor and at the same time, I surf the internet with many tabs opened, I have many documents opened, few applications and communicators and it still won?t get stuck even ...
