AMD Phenom X4 9500

MSRP $175.00 Released November, 2007

The AMD Phenom X4 9500 was the slowest of the two AMD first-generation quad core processors initially released. Due to the TLB bug found within the first B2 stepping release, however, the release of the chip was met with lackluster fanfare. While still a considerable powerhouse CPU, the 9500 was replaced with a later...

AMD Phenom X4 9750

MSRP $215.00 Released March, 2008

Introduced with the rest of the 2008 Phenom line-up, the AMD Phenom X4 9750 brought with it the first step up in clock speed the series had seen. With the last top-of-the-line 9600 set at only 2.3GHz, this step was considered AMD's number one obstacle to become competitive against Intel's offerings. Sadly, hurtling this...

AMD Phenom X4 9850

MSRP $205.00 Released July, 2008

Introduced after the rest of the 2008 Phenom line-up, the AMD Phenom X4 9850 represents the top-of-the-line non-BE AMD processor. Based on the pre-existing 9850 Black Edition there is little difference, except for the locked multiplier, a non-issue for those who have no interest in over clocking their computer hardware.

AMD Phenom X4 9950 Black Edition

MSRP $235.00 Released July, 2008

Pros

125W version available
fastest AMD CPU available
is fast enough for the majority of non-professionals

Cons

extremely high TDP means this chip puts off a lot of heat and uses a lot of power
requires a compatible board that can provide enough juice (not just AM2 socket)
only approaches the Q6600 in terms of performance (a 90W chip)
