As a new year begins, the seemingly age-old processor war moves on.
On Thursday, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) launched its first line of CPUs built with 45 nm technology. Dubbed the Phenom II, the pair of quad-core processors are the 3.0GHz X4 940 Black Edition and the 2.8GHz X4 920. The Test Center got a pre-release unit of the X4 940 and ran it through our standard tests to see how it stands up.
The Phenom II is considered the heart of AMD's newly announced Dragon platform, which also consists of ATI Radeon HD 4800 series graphics (AMD acquired ATI in 2006), AMD 7-series chipsets and AMD software. The goal of Dragon is to enable computers for high-definition gaming, video processing and entertainment at an affordable price.
