Whats AMDs up to? Youd assume it would use a high-end chip to launch its new AM3 socket. But here we are with this 2.6GHz quad-core model. AM3 is actually physically identical to the AM2 socket, which means this CPU will also slot into many existing...

The first two models of AMD’s Phenom II processor showed that the move from 65nm to 45nm was thoroughly good news. It reduced power draw and waste heat while allowing AMD to increase clock speeds, which is very jubbly indeed. Now it’s time for the othe...
The introduction of DDR 3 doesn’t make a fundamental difference to Phenom II, but the new Socket AM3 processors deliver plenty of bangs for your buck and put AMD right back in the game. ®...

The original Phenom was launched in 2007 and while reasonably priced, it didn’t have the innards to make it an alternative to Intel’s Core line. Flash forward to 2009 and AMD has launched its new Phenom II CPUs. The X4 810 is a quad-core chip and runs...
Though the Phenom II can’t win a performance fight with the identically clocked Core i7 920, it offers almost as much grunt for a far lower price...

We tested the Phenom II X4 810 back in February and wanted a bit more performance out of it. AMDs baffling decision to release an entry-level CPU supporting DDR3 seemed rushed, coming on the heels of the Phenom II X4 940. Were still scratching our he...

Whenever is new generation of CPUs presented, either by Intel or by AMD, besides high-end models always are presented models for users that don’t demand top-performance levels. There are various ways to “slow down” existing high-end core. One of those...
Compared to 940 Black Edition, performances at same clock for Phenom II 840 don’t have significantly lower results. Phenom II X4 940 was 6MB L3 cache but at 1.8GHz. On the contrary X4 810 has 4MB L3 cache but at 2.0GHz. Both CPUs has similar overcl...

We have two new components in play here. First are AMDs new triple- and quad-core Phenom II processors. Second is Asus Socket AM3-based M4A79T. If you take Socket AM3 out of the picture, the new Phenom IIs mainly serve to fill in and update AMDs pr...

You have to sometimes wonder whats really going on at AMD. AMD shipped its first 45nm quad core CPU, the Phenom II X4 model 940 Black Edition, along with model 920 in early January. Both were 45nm CPUs whose memory controllers only supported DDR2 memo...
Reasonably priced; true quad core; well integrated with AMDs platform technology.
Entry level performance; poor performance on digital photography benchmarks.
AMDs long anticipated move to socket AM3 is finally hear, but it disappoints somewhat with reduced cache sizes, clock rates and entry level performance. The price is right, though...

Recently AMD sent us two new Phenom IIs to review: the Phenom II X4 810 (that we are reviewing now), and the Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition (the review of which will be ready tomorrow.) AMD suggested that we could compare the Phenom II X4 810 against...
By my count, the Phenom II X4 810 won 28 of the tests, and the Core 2 Quad Q8200 won 21 of the tests - and there were five tied results. What does that mean? Some of these results were so often, so damned close...In the end this means that as long as...

AMD completes the Phenom II series with five new middle-class CPUs which have one important feature: socket AM3 for DDR3-RAM. PC Games Hardware tests the new processors. Two of the five new CPUs: Phenom II X3 720 BE (left) and Phenom II X4 810 (right...
The new middle-class devices are a welcome addition to AMDs rather poor Phenom II array. The new X3 is beating Intels Core 2 Duo in many benchmarks while the X4 - even at lower clock speeds - can keep the old Phenom models and Intels entry-level qua...

Today begins the era of DDR3 for AMD. Unfortunately, not all boards are ready yet, so we had no choice but to test it with a DDR2 board. The good news is that the new Phenom II X4 810s memory controller can handle both DDR2 and DDR3. The major differ...
We were interested in how the CPU will do with DDR3, but due to the fact that the boards are not yet available, we had to perform our tests with a DDR2 board. We suspect that the gain will only be marginal, and since DDR2 is still cheaper, it does not...

This latest release does shore up some questions about Socket AM3, and gets the core back on a full 2.0 GHz HT link, but it still doesn't...

If your head isn't spinning from looking at all the graphs, let me bottom-line it for you. The new Phenom II X4 810 could be considered the next step past a classic Phenom 9950, both run the same core clock, but the additional L3 cache (4MB vs 2MB) an...
