45nm Phenom II Matches Core 2 Quad, Trails Core i7

Posted by kdawson on from the still-in-the-game dept.

An anonymous reader writes "AMD recently debuted its 45nm Phenom II processors, and The Tech Report has already run them through a complete suite of benchmarks to see how they perform compared to Intel's latest and greatest. The new 2.8GHz and 3GHz Phenom IIs are in a dead heat with like-priced Core 2 Quads, but they generally fall well behind Intel's new Core i7 chips. TR concludes that AMD's future doesn't look as bleak as some say, and future Phenom IIs could compete favorably with more affordable Core i7 derivatives."

    You're right, they're most likely dying for one, however...

    No that was a typo. He meant to say: "Most people realy are not dieting for a faster PC.[/sarcasm]
