I've been on the look-out for the new AMD Phenom II since it was first announced last January. Over the week-end I saw them listed over at Rising Sun Computers: AMD Phenom II X4 920 2.8GHz Quad Core Price: Php 10,100 AMD Phenom II X4 940 3.0GHz Quad Core Price: Php 11,600 They're still on an order basis though. This line will be AMD's direct competitor for Intel's Core i7 (they even had the SKUs similar to each other) but the price points are much lower. Would be interesting how the Phenom 2 will stack against Intel's. 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.
