news 28 Posted July 24, 2008 Hi all, We have just published a review of *AMD's Phenom X4 9350e* quad-core processor - if you could post a link on your site that would be very much appreciated. *Link:* http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2008/07/24/amd-phenom-x4-9350e/1 *Picture:* http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2008/07/amd-phenom-x4-9350e/fp_img.jpg *Quote: */"There doesn't seem to be too much special with this particular silicon. For the same price there are too many other processor choices that offer better performance in every other area - an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 is virtually the same price (and probably less following the recent price cuts) and offers oodles more performance, and many of our readers can testify to building a very quiet PCs based on this CPU. We're struggling to think of situations where you'd absolutely need this CPU - the only one we can come up with is if you wanted a quad-core mini-ITX board that's limited to 65W. This would be the only option that would fit, so it wins by default. But then again we fail to understand why you'd buy this over a Phenom X4 9550 Essentially, unless it fills a specific application you require, then this CPU is not for you. Even if you / which is cheaper and you can simply underclock and undervolt it a touch. /do decide you need it, you'll need to //find a Phenom X4 9350e (it's been a month since launch and they're still not available anywhere UK or State-side)." /* *Cheers guys!
