• Hampir sebagian besar media mengulas procesor AMD terbaru. Performa menempel ketat Quad Core Intel

Intel boleh berbangga mengeluarkan Core i7. AMD tetap mempertahankan procesor AMD Phenom II X4 940 & 920 dengan harga lebih terjangkau. Konon untuk Phenom II X4 mampu dioverclock sampai 4Ghz. Performa Phenom II belum mmapu mengejar Core i7. Tetapi untuk aplikasi sangat ketat bersaing dengan Core Quad. Sayang dari artikel Anandtech, kemampuan aplikasi 3D Game memang tidak berbeda banyak dengan Core 2 Duo.
