Review of the up and coming Phenom II CPU
By John Turnbul of City PC Repairs
With the up coming launch of the Phenom II processor from AMD we thought we would take a quick look at the chip shortly before it hits the local computer stores. The new chip supersedes the older Phenom which seemed to have a heat problem in that they ran very hot. The new chip is based on 45nm technology so should run a fair bit faster and alot cooler and as a bonus use less power. This chip will fit any AMD 7 series motherboard although a BIOS update may have to be completed first. The processor is designed for a AMD+2 socket and should also work on the new socker AM+3 boards which will use DDR 2 Or DDR 3 memory. The AMD+3 processors will also be backwards compatible with the AMD+2 boards however they will run slightly slower. At launch there will be 2 products 2.8GHZ and 3GHZ, the latter is a black edition meaning the multiplier has been unlocked. Claims as much as 5.8GHZ have been acheived. Pricing at the moment is around £185.00. at launch, join us next month when we will have the processor and can give you an independent benchmark score. |
