Another day, another minor variation on a familiar theme from AMD. By now you'll know our equally familiar refrain regarding the circa-2003 origins of AMD's performance PC processors, up to and including the latest Thuban sixcore models. But if AMD's u...

Almost two years ago, AMD began to push its successful Dragon Platform for desktop systems. The fastest chip in the line-up was the Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition. Today, AMD releases the latest in a long line of Black Edition CPUs, in the shape of...
There is just one factor here which AMD can (and probably will) affect. That is price. AMD’s quad core processor could find a place in the market if AMD can get the price much closer to £99. It’s a mental milestone which might appeal to overclockers...

AMD have been focussing on their new products with the likes of Bulldozer and the whole Fusion range as of late but haven't forgotten about the users wanting more from an already current system.AMD recently released a new flagship processor into their pro...

In that respect, the 975 BE and the 840 do a pretty good job. They do have to address the memory performance issue, though. That is what is killing them. I am hoping for something exciting from AMD as we have been rehashing the same things for far too long now. I know that Fusion is right around the...
I have to say that I was a little disappointed with these two new CPUs. I guess I was hoping for a little more than was presented. After talking with a few people I was reminded that these are not new microarchitecture, but are revisions of an exist...

We will be running each through a selection of real world tests to establish how they compare to the latest offerings from AMD, and finding out how well they overclock using the unlocked multiplier.

With the turn of the year, AMD is working hard to keep updating its current processor line. As with most manufacturers, tweaks to current designs lead to new speed boosts or even new chips based on how well the tweaking process works. AMD is a big run...

There is no denying the fact that AMD has been hell-bent on providing the CPU market with some much-needed value options as of late. While this approach hasn’t led to any direct competitors against Intel’s high-end products, there are several Phenom a...

First of all, I would like to thank AMD for providing the tested Phenom II X4 975 BE processor sample, MSI for providing the 890FXA-GD70 motherboard and Links for providing the rest of the test setup.Like an old Japanese swordsmith, driven by perfectio...

Although AMD's Deneb core is by now tuned to perfection, its blade had became dull over time, and looking back, AMD has relied on its Deneb core for quite some time now. Introduction of a faster SKU than 3.50 GHz Phenom II X4, based on old Deneb core m...

It has been three months since we reviewed the latest Phenom II quad-core processor from AMD, the 970 Black Edition. With the start of a new year comes the latest quad-core from AMD, the Phenom II X4 975 Black Edition. The 975 is essentially a higher...

Follwing up the Fall release of the 3.5GHz Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition with a Winter release of the Phenom II X4 975 Black Edition seems like the logical thing for AMD to do. While the 100MHz provides a slight increase in performance over the previ...

With all the fuss over six-core CPUs like AMD’s Phenom II X6 1100T and Intel’s Core i7-980X Extreme Edition, four-core CPUs just don’t get the attention they used to. But with most mainstream software still only written to take advantage o...

To be honest, I think Phenom II X4 975 was a weird release from AMD. Priced around the same as cheapest X6 processors, I can’t really see much point buying this product. It is true, however, that 975 is the fastest X4 processor from AMD – but the perf...
