news 28 Posted January 8, 2009 AMD is unleashing its first 45 nm processor, and while it is a large step in the right direction, AMD still has a tough mountain to climb to compete with Intel and their Core 2 Quad and i7 processors. While the Phenom II is not a world beater, it certainly puts AMD in a much more competitive position.

That's not entirely bad though, as some people prefer light beer (though I still question why). That AMD is able to at least poke their head into the party is probably the most important part of this entire exercise. The Phenom II is a big upgrade from the previous Phenom parts, in terms of both IPC and the ability to clock to higher speeds." Thanks for a post!
