Higher Clock Speeds, No TLB Issues and Better Pricing: The New Phenom

CDsDontBurn · Mar 30, 2008, 08:14 AM

When Phenom launched it was slow, later plagued by a performance-hindering TLB bug and priced entirely out of the realm of rational thought. It's a new year and while I'd like to say that AMD has learned from all of its mistakes and will be back to a fully competitive state, that's only mostly true. There are still significant struggles within the company but at least this launch is a step in the right direction.
