Overclocking AMD PhenomTM II Processors to the Limit
PC speed-freaks from across Europe will be pushing their processors to the limit in a series of extreme overclocking trials over the next month. The trials, which have been organised by AMD (NYSE:AMD), will see forum users from 19 leading technology forums from across the continent compete in [...]
Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Coming Soon

3.0GHz and 3.1GHz
Phenom II X2 550 will be the 3.1GHz dual core Phenom II. This is a harvested version of Deneb quad-core, that will have two cores disabled and we’ve learned that it should launch in June, and Computex might be a good time.
This dual-core can achieve very high performance as it [...]
AMD is advising its customers and partners that its CPUs are great stuff for the price and we can back up such a claim. The Phenom II X4 955 is selling for $245, which is a great price for quad core at 3.2GHz. On top of it, this CPU overclocks to over 4GHz on air [...]
AMD was planning to launch 3.1GHz Phenom II X4 950 in Q2 according to our previous source, but Phenom II X4 955 is said to replace it as the fastest AMD CPU.
Phenom II X4 955 has employed 45nm processing and Socket AM3. Clocked at 3.2GHz (16*200MHz), it’s coming with 2MB (4*512KB) L2 Cache and [...]
With estimated dollar-to-pound pricing hovering between £100-£150, knowing what etailers will be charging, on pre-order, can enhance or detract away from the attractiveness of the DDR2/DDR3-compatible CPUs. Priced, say, 15 per cent too much and they become pointless. Priced 15 per cent lower than what we reckoned in the review and they become intrinsically attractive.
Let’s [...]
Following fourth core unlock reports
Demand for AMD three-core Phenom II chips is on the rise, following reports that the fourth core on many units can be activated after fiddling with some bios settings.
Of course, the hack doesn’t work on all CPUs, but only certain batches, so consumers can’t really expect a 100 percent success rate, [...]
AMDs Phenom II processors are truly mean overclockers under extreme cold, but with more conventional cooling the processors are yet to really impress. They are still much better than the last series of Phenoms, but compared to Intels Core architecture they are still several MHz short. AMD overclockers have started looking for The Golden One [...]
2.8GHz for businessmen
AMD is still on track to launch its new Phenom II generation for business people and these CPUs should find their place to the corporate hearts. Business class Phenoms based on the Deneb 45nm quad-core will launch in early Q3 2009.
The best is called Phenom II X4 B93 and this [...]
