AMD Phenom X2 to launch at 2.3Ghz

@ 2007/07/03
AMD’s Phenom X2 GE-6600 clocks in at 2.3 GHz, coincidentally, the Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 clocks in at 2.4 GHz. The middle of the Phenom X2 GE-series consists of the 2.1 GHz Phenom X2 GE-6500 while the 1.9 GHz Phenom X2 GE-6400 occupies the bottom of the lineup.

Heres to hoping these can actually outperform C2D.

yes, but if they can only get it as fast as the 6600 it would be terrible

Why did AMD use XP rating?

The naming really puzzles me, why would they name it nearly the same as the Intel CPU?


To establish that AMD is faster? Because they are the same speed?
