Phenom (processor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

AMD goes quad-core with Phenom | CNET News.com

and there is even a triple core processor to be released !

I'm holding off purchasing till I can get a quad-core alienware notebook. And have been waiting for quite some time.

how great is that going too be

Ah good ol' Alienware.

I bought a desktop from them. Ran great even under the constant abuse from people saying I overpaid for junk. I loved the case too. Their laptops are absolutely sick.

i think alien ware is a little over priced... but then again i have the know how to build my own pc from the ground up and have been doing it for almost 15 years ...

but they are really nice price aside

As I said, i'm waiting on the notbook w/ quad core. They don't have to look great to work great. The big advantage is that Alienware will build a notebook with a desktop mobo/processor. I don't plan on using a battery anyway, so it doesn't matter as much. So getting the AMD quad core will be very nice. I build my own desktops.

New phenom lineup and release dates released!

i'm getting my new computer in November, so I will read reviews on ones released around that time and may go with AMD (hopefully they'll overclock better than the Athlons!)

i know the Athlon X2's especally the windsor core models overclock amazing even better than most Core 2Duos When it comes to speed increase/heat increase

My Athlon 64 doesn't like overclocking what-so-ever, I've tried, it either becomes unstable or it won't enter windows

when you tried to overclock how Much did you increase each time?

tried large amounts at first, then tried going 10Mhz at a time and it didn't like that, then tried changing voltages and that didn't work, it maybe my motherboard, also my computer runs quite hot anyway, CPU is 55 degrees C when it's not doing anything, I'm well ventilated but just no give, performance is great neways and hardware is outdated, so time for a new one

Read comments on my CPU and other people struggle to overclock aswell, the Phenom will be out when I buy a new computer, so it'll all come down to peoples opinions and suggestions!
