Intro
It's a long while since we last had our last CPU-review, so it's about time we caught up with what's new
on the processor front. Last time we had CPUs around, they were the new Athlons and a dual-core Phenom from
AMD, but this time we aim a bit higher, and take a look at the latest quad-core Phenom - the X4 970 Black
Editions. We also take a dive in the 6-core Phenom family in the form of the original 1090T as well as the
newer 1075T and brand new top of the range 1100T processor.

The quad core Phenom 2's are all based on the Deneb-core, while the 6-cores are Thubans. Inside these
chips are very similar, except ofcourse for the different number of cores. All the Phenom chips have 512 kB
of L2 cache per core and a shared L3 cache of 6 MB. The clock speeds vary from 1075's 3 GHz to 970's pretty
impressive 3,5 GHz. The TDP of all Phenom CPUs is specified at 125 watts.
For good measure we also ran the performance tests on a fast quad core Athlon. Compared to the Phenoms
the difference with the Athlon CPUs is the lacking L3 cache, and in this case also lower TDP of 95 W.
