| AMD's Phenom Unveiled: A Somber Farewell to K8 It's tough to believe that what we're looking at here is a farewell to the K8. When AMD first released the Athlon 64, its performance was absolutely mind blowing. It kept us from recommending Intel processors for at least 3 years; Phenom's arrival, however, is far more somber. Phenom has a difficult job to do, it needs to keep AMD afloat for the next year. Phenom is much like the solemn relative, visiting during a time of great sorrow within the family; let's hope for AMD's sake that it can lift spirits in the New Year. http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets...spx?i=3153&p=1 Last edited by jmke : 19th November 2007 at 09:47. |

To be honest, much will depend on how this achitecture will scale. If one can OC it to 4Ghz on air within a year's time we're talking a very different story, as theoretically the memory/chipset subsystem should scale better than penryn. | |
