The very first article that we published this year, on the 1st of January, was titled “Clock for Clock: Phenom vs. Core 2 Performance” and that particular article told us a great deal about the Phenom’s performance. In fact, the data that we recorded in that article shows very similar performance trends to that seen between the Core 2 Quad Q6600 and Phenom X4 9850. In that original article we took the Core 2 Quad Q6600 and Core 2 Duo E6850 processors and compared them to the Phenom X4 9500.
