Heute bringt AMD mit dem Phenom II X4 965 den schnellsten Prozessor der Firmengeschichte auf den Markt. Ob AMD damit zur Spitze aufschließen kann?
Today, AMD is announcing a new flagship processor, the Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition. This is nothing more than a speed bump for the Dragon platform, but all of these speed bumps are starting to add up and the Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition processor runs at an impressive 3.4GHz. The performance should scale predictably and the price of the Phenom II X4 965 BE will be $245, which is what the Phenom II X4 955 was back in May 2009 when it first launched.
AMD first launched the 955 Black Edition and 945 CPUs back in April both based on the 45nm Phenom II technology. With Intel seemingly forging ahead in terms of performance with its i7 series, AMD’s new products aim to compete more with Intel’s quad-core range and should offer a cheaper upgrade for users with an AM2+ platform as the AM3 CPUs are backwards compatible with AM2+ sockets.
The 955 BE, of which we are taking a look at today, is a Black Edition product, which in effect means that the CPU features a unlocked multiplier; a huge plus for the overclockers. A dual DDR2 and DRR3 memory controller is also crammed into the chip.
The 900 series of AMD processors are all quad-core CPUs with a 6MB L3 cache, 2MB larger than the 800 series and the stock speed of the 955 BE was the fastest until it was superseded very recently by the 965 BE which clocks in at a whopping 3.4GHz. However, today we focus on the 955, let's check it out
Back in June 2009, AMD silently launched a pair of energy efficient 65W TDP processors that didn't get that much attention from the press for some reason. Those two socket AM3 processors are called the AMD Phenom II X3 705e and Phenom II X4 905e. Read on to see how they perform!
AMD's Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition processor represents a speed boost over the previous forerunner, the 955 Black Edition. The 3.4GHz quad-core Black Edition socket AM3 chip and is intended to compete against Intel's existing LGA775 quad-core processors, but the real question on everyone's mind is how it fare against Intel's upcoming Core i5 CPUs!?
This article adds to the previous tests of the AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition. We wanted to compare different CPU coolers, try the new AMD Overdrive 3.0.2 and AMD Fusion For Gaming, and run a number of popular benchmarks from HwBot.org. Besides, out of curiosity and in order to obtain higher results, we also overclocked the AMD RADEON 4890 graphics card.
Enter the socket AM3, AMD Athlon II X2 250 microprocessor - a new 3.0GHz mainstream dual-core chip based on the Phenom 'Deneb' architecture, but crucially stripped of all L3 cache. Like all the chips emerging from AMD's stables this year, the Athlon II X2 250 is manufactured on the 45nm SOI process at Global Foundries Fab-1 in Germany. The chip has a modest 65W TDP, and looking over specs we find a transistor count of 234 Million, 256KB of L1 and 2MB of L2 cache. Of course, the Athlon II has no L3 cache.
Wenn Nepomuk Kraxelhuber auf seiner Almhütte ins Schwärmen gerät und von den Bergen erzählt, dann leuchten die Augen des alten Mannes und man hat das Gefühl, dass er gleich morgen noch einmal die inzwischen verrosteten Steigeisen auspackt, um seiner geliebten Vronie wieder ein Edelweiß zu pflücken..., aber das ist eine ganz andere Geschichte. Bleiben wir im hier und jetzt, die Firma EKL/Alpenföhn hat einen neuen CPU-Kühler ins Leben gerufen, der erneut den Alpinismus als Metapher nutzt, insofern paßt die Namensgebung Nordwand schon perfekt zur Corporate Identity von Alpenföhn.
It is time to review Kabuto CPU cooler from Japan-based Scythe. This cooler has six heatpipes and three independent heatsinks, with a 120 mm fan placed horizontally. Will it perform well in our tests?
