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

Posted by kdawson on Friday January 9, 2009 @03:24AM 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."

Never mind about the memory vs. the lights ... the important question is: did you get any that night?
