6:07 PM - AMD Phenom: A review
I purchased an AMD Phenom last week. It's a quad core first generation chip with 2.3Ghz cores (9600). The chip works great with Vista and I think it will rock in MidnightBSD once I get some of the stuff on the AMD 7700 chipset fixed. The best part though is the power consumption. The only thing different is the cpu and motherbard, yet i'm seeing much better power use over a core 2 duo 6000 series (2.13ghz). THe new box uses 125-150watts most of the time.
