Like the superheroes of old, the AMD Phenom II streaks out of the night to lay waste to your enemies with 3.0GHz quad cores, each of which has L1 and L2 caches. An additional 6MB of L3 cache is available to handle really heavy loads or large data sets.
Memory transfers get faster than ever. HyperTransport Generation 3.0 mode allows up to 16.0GB/s of bandwidth. Up to 17.1GB/s memory bandwidth for DDR2 delivers an amazing 37GB/s of processor-to-system bandwidth. This unprecedented bandwidth is needed to feed the data hungry AMD64 with Direct Connect Architecture cores.
You'd think that all of this power would be too hot to handle. Think again. AMD's Cool'n'Quiet 3.0 technology works with CoolCore Technology to minimize heat while keeping power and efficiency up. Now the cores can shut down unused parts of the processor when not in use. This saves power and helps to reduce the amount of heat generated. This function is built in so there's no need for drivers or BIOS updates.

AMD is Back!
- Pros: 45nm, overclocks great, makes AMD respectable again.
- Cons: Read Below.
- Other Thoughts: Everyone keeps trying to compare these AM2+ chip benchmark's to the i7's. That is not fair at all, you have to remember that these first batches of PII's are running on dual channel DDR2 memory, whereas most benchmarks have the i7's running on triple channel DDR3 memory. Even being behind them, these chips still produce very respectable numbers, especially when OC'd. This is AMD getting back on track.
Writing review to actually review a product unlike some.
- Pros: New AMD process with great overclocking potential. starts at 3 Ghz, but doesn't end there. Cheapest performance out there for a tight budget (depends on needs).
- Cons: The price is fair for the performance. Other sites have higher prices then Newegg since it is NEW.
- Other Thoughts: Most of the reviews on newegg are pretty useless. Why does one write a review telling others to go buy another product, but does not give a good reason to do so. Ok it performs a little slower, but also cost a lot less. So who wins? Consumers...

Powerhouse
- Pros: Upgraded a dual core 4800 with this chip, noticable improvement, especially when ripping movies.
- Cons: none
- Other Thoughts: none
AMD Is Not Bad At All
- Pros: Great CPU even if your building a new system and want to save some money over the DDR3 based AM3 or i7 systems. Thats what I did. Ya sure someone with an i7 or whatever is going to have better performace but its not that much of a considerable amout for me to really care. DDR2 builds are more prevalent and will still be around for years to come.
- Cons: NONE
- Other Thoughts: I have always had Intel CPUs in the past great company. I think from now on I will be considering AMD as my first choice when builing systems in the future. I really like the performance I get out of this CPU. AMD knows what there doing.
great CPU for professional use
- Pros: With the 790FX chipset and the OCZ AM2 Special memory this is simply the fastest cpu available to the general public for ultra high performance use. By that I mean Catia, Unigraphics NX, Solidworks, Autocad, Premiere, Phototshop not tiddle winks games like Crysis, Call of Duty, Unreal, or WOW. Games are written with 4k page files in mind. This is set up for 16k page files and 2048 entries per page. It can stay in page twice as long as most other processors available. Games don't take advantage of those capabilities. Good example of why AMD dominates the top 100 of the Top 500 list and very similar to the CPU's used on Kraken at the U of Tenn. #3 on Top 500.
- Cons: Probably not the best gaming CPU where cpu speed counts more than good design.
- Other Thoughts: There is no reason to use the AM3 motherboard or DDR3 with this cpu. They will not enhance performance.
