AMD Phenom 9600 Black Edition Quad Core CPU

**MIG-31** · Mar 10, 2008, 02:33 AM

AMD have been playing catch-up with Intel ever since Intel's Core architecture reared it's not so ugly head. With the X2 range of processors lagging behind their Core2 counterparts and Intel releasing a Quad Core, AMD had to get a chip out and fast.

Unfortunately, they didn't manage fast, but they did manage to get one out. Phenom is a native Quad Core chip which is fantastic, but it's launch was marred by reactively low clock-speeds. The Phenom 9600 we have here today kicks us off at 2.3GHz and there is a 2.4GHz Phenom 9700, a 2.6GHz par - Phenom 9900 as well as a 2.22GHz Phenom 9300.
