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."

    How you can't spell osAMa bin laDen without A M D ? I think this says something. Is your desktop safe from extremo-terror on a chip? GOD BLESS AMERICA! Down with the Islamo-Communist AMD and its "linux" fronts!

      This would be funny, except that there are innocent civilians who are dying by the hundreds. 760 deaths since Dec 27,, one third of them children, over half civilians. 3100 injured, once again a third of them children.

      Re: "firewall", kudos for knowing that Israel made the Gaza Strip a gentler version of a concentration camp.

      Good point. Nowhere near enough people are willing to see the laughter and the funny side of collective punishment.

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