news 28 Posted January 8, 2009 Hi, We just released our article about the new AMD Dragon platform which includes the new AMD Phenom II X4 940 CPU. 'In 2007 AMD launched their Spider platform which included the Phenom CPU. That launch did not go well and the Phenom CPU's have long had to fight the bad reputation it got there. Today AMD is introducing their next platform, the Dragon platform. As before the platform consists of 3 parts: Motherboard chipset, CPU’s and GPU’s. While we already are familiar with the chipset (7-series) and the GPU’s (HD4800), the CPU’s are new. With the Dragon-platform AMD is introducing the new Phenom II CPU’s. It is easy to think that this is AMD’s answer to Intel’s Core i7 AMD has chosen not to go after Intel’s high-end products and instead attack the market where they think the money is. In today’s article we will go through the various parts of the Dragon-platform as well as run a bunch of benchmarks on it and competing platforms.'
