“While the Phenom II processors are not entirely competitive with the i7 cores, AMD has certainly been executing at a very high level as of late. Considering that the Phenom II is actually a larger chip in terms of die size and transistor count than the i7, we catch a glimpse of how really impressive the i7 is.”Here are some more Processor articles from around the web:

AMD’s plans for today
It will be a long 8 month wait for the next generation of processors from AMD; not long at all for the current generation. The AMD Phenom II X4 955 is here, with a core clock of 3.2 GHz and an uncore of 2.0GHz. The slower speeds on the uncore in previous models have been bothering Josh as he feels a bump in speed there will give some serious boosts in speed across the board. Was he right? Find out in his full review of the X4 955.
