Thread: AMD Phenom II XIV 980BE CPU.

AMD has had mastery of the budget final of the processor market for few time just for concludes adding cost/functioning, low CPU Board costs and platform longevity. The only low side has been the sacrificing of the high functioning market to Intel. Last year Intel established its VI-core processor the iVII-980X at the common "Extreme Edition" placing it out of contact of full but a some enthusiasts and professionals in specialized field such as video editing.

A few months before AMD established its self 6-core processors code known Thuban. This week they freed the Phenom II XIV 980BE (3.7GHz stock and up to 4.1GHz with Turbo Core). This is a Black Edition unlocked processor proposed at enthusiasts and is the quickest AMD cpu to date. Not only are these establishing at an aggressive clock voltage and



with a promoting technology to rival Intel's Turbo Mode, the estimated street price for the Phenom 2 X4 975BE. We have tried the 980BE and it hope to actually shake up the recent status quo with functioning that in some matters beats the excellent Intel CPUs present.

AMD are not just noticing time till the freed of their Bulldozer architecture but are aggressively storming up clock voltages and pulling down costs to hold market share out of the hands of Intel.
Of more universal concern is equating the efficiencies of the recent Intel and AMD architecture to compare recent and next efficiencies and predict how future next and architectures will affect functioning.

With the actual Thuban establish we arrived a novel chipset, the 890FX, which hopes excellent functioning and greater headroom for overclocking. The board we tried with was the ASUS Crosshair IV Formula.
