*AMD Phenom II X4 940 & 920 review*

Today we are covering the official launch of the new AMD Phenom II X4

processors. The flagship model in this new series is the Phenom II X4 940

which works at 3.0GHz, while the 920 is just slightly slower at 2.80GHz.

Both processors should be available from retailers anytime soon and are

meant to be compatible with all current AM2+ motherboards provided they are

supported with an updated BIOS.

Based on the AMD 45nm Deneb core, the new Phenom II CPUs have been eagerly

anticipated in hope that they could rival the dominant Core 2 Quad and most

recently the devastating Core i7 series that Intel used to up the ante and

most likely put its closest competitor in further trouble.
