Phenom II X4 940
I was torn between this and an intel 8400. I was building a budget high performance gaming pc and so AMD was always going to be cheaper than Intel. Anyways I bought a cheap foxconn AM2+ mobo and dropped this cpu into it and at stock its 3.0 ghz. However I easilly O'C it to 3.6ghz by upping the voltage a tiny bit and used the stock cooler. With this cpu, 4gb of OCZ DDR2 800 ram and a XFX 4850 512mb gpu I get 16000 on 3d Mark and play everything (crysis, far cry 2, COD MW2) on max :)

| Reviewed By | Scott Bartley |
| Summary | Almost a year to the day after Intel made the move from a 65nm manufacturing process to 45nm - allowing it to pack more transistors into a piece of silicon and thus ramp up clock speeds - AMD finally joins in the fun. For AMD it's the same old story ... |
| Pros | |
| Cons | |
| Verdict | testing reveals that Core i7 remain the chips for gamers and enthusiasts lusting after superior performance (but hampered somewhat by a costly upgrade path) |

| Reviewed By | |
| Summary | In March 2008, AMD released the Phenom X4, as "the world's first true quad-core processor". Despite pre-release problems, the Phenom X4 Agena core, with a 64Kb + 64Kb L1 Cache, 512Kb L2 Cache, and 2MB L3 Cache, on die memory controller, and 65nm ... |
| Pros | Definite upgrade for all earlier AM2/AM2+ processors ; Top choice for building a new AMD DDR2 rig ; Overclocked well ; Priced right |
| Cons | With the release of AM3, it's a hard decision whether to build AM2+ or AM3 |
| Verdict | Again, the testing results were expected, with good results from the Phenom 9950, better results from the Phenom 940 at stock clock, and the best from the 940 at overclock. |

| Summary | AMD's original quad-core Phenom processors weren't very well receiving. Unfashionably late to the party and unable to keep up with even low-end Intel quad-core processors, Phenom was a brand looking for a quick death. A lot can happen in a year. AMD ... |
| Pros | |
| Cons | |
| Verdict | No AMD CPU below Socket AM3 is compatible with DDR3. If you attempt to use an AM2/AM2+ processor, you will fry something, if not everything |
