It ’s destitute of theperformance - sap bugthat plague thefirstbatch of Phenoms , and AMD hopes it ’ll claw back someground from Intel .

The Penryn - establish Q9300 “ owned the night , ” with the Q6600 trailing , and Phenom in back of both . It was n’t “ so far behind as to be dead in the water ” but “ it does n’t quite go head - to - head with the Penryn lite . ” ( They call the Q9300 Penryn - lite because it has half the cache of the high - end Penryn quad - cores . )
The 9850 X4 is the fastest AM2 Saratoga chip around , however , so if you ’re mystify with that board “ it ’s a pretty good upgrade . ” The enceinte job is that AMD still has nothing to touch Intel ’s top quad cores , and wo n’t for month , at least . [ Maximum microcomputer ]
