AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 940 Black Edition Review
|
Posted on Tuesday, February 10 2009 @ 13:39:26 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck |
The Phenom II X4 Quad Core 940 Black Edition is undoubtedly AMD’s fastest and most overclockable Phenom yet, but it’s still a million miles away from competing with Intel. While AMD can’t keep up with Intel on raw performance, the company is at least keeping high-end computing within reach of mass market. As an added bonus, AMD-based 790GX motherboards are cheaper than those using Intel's X58 chipset, so you can build a quad-core system much more cheaper than an Intel-based solution. While that’s true, X58 boards generally offer more robust overclocking features, including BIOS setup programs which make life easier for seasoned tweakers. With the Phenom II X4 Quad Core 940 Black Edition you get what you pay for. If you want maximum performance and cost isn’t an issue, you’ll want Intel’s Core i7.
