The Quad Core Party...

Is About to Begin

VR-Zone : Technology Beats - Quad-Core Phenom Models & Clocks Revealed

I wonder what will be the price/performance levels of AMD's new Phenom and Intel's new Penryn quad core CPUs...

But quad core is definitely going to become mainstream soon...

oh yeah baby! finally phenom is arriving!but i have a feeling phenom will get owned when penryn is released.but again, as the pricing has been AMD's selling factor, its gonna be interesting.

*drool* intel's 45nm penryn info starting to come out Intel's 45nm Penryn/Yorkfield architecture packs serious punch

add that with amd's phenom expected anytime this year and nvidia's 8800gt, these will make juicy components for a new desktop pc

Could not upgrade my PC so far.. (too much work), but looks like thats a good thing. With these CPS coming in market, CPUs I am looking at can only get cheaper

AMD Phenom released!

Performance/price doesn't bode well for AMD's financial situation tho

Another grim report at AMD's Phenom staggers out of the gate to a lukewarm reception

Looks like it's an Intel quad core CPU for me early next year....
