AMD is introducing three new quad-core Phenom processors today: a 2.6GHz 9950 Black Edition, a 2.0GHz 9350e and a 1.8GHz 9150e. AMD has also dropped its prices, making the Phenom competitive with mainstream Intel CPUs while also obsoleting two of the CPUs it just introduced today. We also finally discovered the source of some strange behavior with our Phenom test beds.

Two years ago we previewed Intel's Conroe core and to our surprise it blew away its closest competitor by 20 - 30% easily. Today, Intel is without competition at the high end but that hasn't stopped it from topping its performance by 20 - 50% with its brand new architecture. Intel's Nehalem processor is due out at the end of this year but we previewed its performance today and were very impressed; if you thought Penryn was fast, just wait until you see Nehalem.

AMD is introducing the first triple-core x86 processors as a part of its quick and dirty strategy to remain competitive with Intel's dual-core CPUs. Despite having more cores than the competition at the same price point, AMD's clock speeds aren't high enough to make the Phenom X3 a serious threat to Intel. The real threat these days actually comes from ATI...

Last year Phenom brought AMD a terrible end to a terrible year. While AMD continues to try to resurrect itself we find ourselves in the midst of a second Phenom launch. With better chips, better clock speeds and better pricing see how AMD went from a complete dud to actually competitive with the Phenom X4 9850. It looks like we may just get competition in the CPU industry once again.
