AMD Phenom II 920 & 940 Full Review

[savantu]

I've made a summary with benches run till now (jumping crappy Everest and Sandra):

Taking into account the 5.7% frequency difference , it seems Yorkfield is faster than Phenom 2 by 9.5% clock/clock.

This review was interesting and hints at the Phenom II's performance levels, but I am anxiously awaiting to see if reviews from The Tech Report and Anandtech make things any clearer or not.

I also thought the i7 results were bizarre and whilst I want to see what happens when The Tech Report and Anandtech compare i7 to PhII, it does support my theory that the i7 is an unbalanced CPU at this stage, reminiscent of the first generation Pentiums for mine.

How exactly is it unbalanced? Where does it lack ? And don't point to gaming at low vs. high resolution , the jury is still out until we get optimized drivers.
