Been using the Phenom x4 9950 CPU sent to me by AMD for over a month now and I have been doing some simple benchmarks with it. The Phenom X4 9950 is the latest and fastest among AMD's quad core series. You will notice the ones from AMD and Intel are already capable of supporting DDR3 RAMs. On the other hand, the newer ones by AMD offers single-core and dual-core CPUs with higher cache memory. Notice thought that TDP of the AMD chips are still way higher at 12watts; that's almost twice that of the ones from Intel so they should be some noticeable battery life differences between the two. Yesterday, while scouting around for that elusive Phenom II X4, I chanced upon this new processor SKU from AMD -- the Athlon 64 X2 7750 BE @ 2.7GHz. As it turns out, the Athlon X2 7750 is a fairly new processor that AMD quietly released last December and codenamed Kuma. A little digging around also revealed that it belongs to the newer Stars (K10) microarchitecture, the same one as the Phenom X3 and the Phenom X4.
