The AMD Phenom processor is already available!

how does an overclocked phenom compared to an overclocked yorkfield?

I suppose you would need insane cooling with a phenom?

We should know the answer to this in a few weeks I'm sure.

Smart money is on the chip we have already seen overclocked, however.

yorkfield can easily hit 4Ghz on air according to the several reviews I've seen. I somehow doubt phenom can reach that far. isn't it built on 90nm fabrication?

same clock speeds, the benchmarks might be close. but this is XS we are talking about. most people wouldn't be running at stock

lol, no 65nm

thanks for the correction

but the question still is: can an overclocked phenom achieve the same performance (or even close) as an overclocked yorkfield.

We should cross our fingers for yes (but somehow I feel like if that were the case, AMD would have been showing off a LOT more benchmarks that what we have seen).
