On the next few pages we'll show you some photos. The images were taken at 4272 x 2848 pixels and then scaled down. The camera used was a Canon 450D - 12 MegaPixel.

Right, here are a couple of close-ups before we head on over to the tests and benchmarks. Above, the Phenom II X6 1075T. Clocked at 3000 MHz and with the ability to turbo to 3500 MHz it's quite an acceleratable processor. Phenom II X6 1075T is going to be the second fastest six-core AMD desktop microprocessor. It is not a BE processor. The 1090T was released as the only (currently) unlocked six-core "Black Edition" CPU, i.e. it has an unlocked clock multiplier.

Here we have the new X4 970 BE. The package looks similar to the million other Phenom processors we've tested (from the outside). This new SKU is located under product code HDZ970FBK4DGM - this particular version comes unlocked meaning we have an open multiplier to play around with, which greatly helps for more flexible and easier overclocking.

The third processor subject to our test today is the Athlon II X4 645 processor. Four cores at 3.1 GHz, even though it does not have any L3 cache, the performance versus value versus wattage is sincerely interesting. You'll purchase a lot of processor for the money.

Socket AM3 -- I got bored and counted them... 938 pins. Socket AM3 is a CPU socket for AMD processors. It follows directly from Socket AM2+. AM3 was launched on February 9, 2009, alongside the initial grouping of Phenom II processors designed for it. The sole principal change from AM2+ to AM3 is support for the AM3 processors' integrated memory controller, which supports DDR3 in addition to DDR2.

A lot of AMD 700 series chipset based products will work with this processor as well after a System BIOS update. Obviously the new 800 series works straight out of the box.

And sheer beauty; this is the ASUS Crosshair IV Formula motherboard. It's AMD 890 FX based and is an overclocker's dream. We'll review this motherboard and chipset in a separate article though.

AMD Phenom II X6 1075T, X4 970BE and Athlon II X4 645 processor review
We test three AMD processors today, the Phenom II X6 1075T, Phenom II X4 970BE and Athlon II X4 645. They are part of the AMD Q4 processor product line update, arming their processor lineup with more value and higher performing CPUs.

AMD Phenom X4 945 and 955BE processor review|test
Today AMD is releasing two processors in the Phenom II line-up, the Phenom II 955BE and the Phenom II X4 945 processor. Both processors can be considered and positioned in AMDs high-end segment, yet will be priced friendly. Yields are good, clock frequencies go up, performance goes up. And that's nice as the Phenom II series processors offer great performance for the money you have to lay down on the table. AMD Phenom series processors are slowly ripening, and are aging like fine wine (they get even better over time). Guru3D brings you an in-depth performance review and architectural overview on both these processors. Oh yea .. and we'll overclock the living daylights out of it as well.

AMD Phenom II X4 810 and X3 720BE review (AM3)
A test on AMD Phenom II X4 810 and X3 720BE review socket AM3 processors. Socket AM3 Phenom II processors. Processors that are pretty much the same as the Socket AM2+ processors yet now with a DDR3 memory controller. DDR3 memory will allow the overall performance of the platform (your PC) to gain again a little in speed. Over the next few pages we'll tell you all about these new processors, their specifications and of course will check out performance.

AMD Phenom II X4 920 and 940 review test
AMD Phenom II 940 and 920 test. AMD releases the new Phenom II processors. Now manufactured at a much smaller fabrication processes, 45 nanometer, and has different amounts of cache. The result... their processors can now run at 3.0 GHz fairly easy, run cool and still have enough headroom for a nice tweak or two. Pretty significant, pretty interesting.
