AMD three-core Phenom X3 CPUs announced

AMD just announced its tri-core Phenom X3s, a new CPU line targeted at those unable to afford quad-core processors… really.

Looking to satisfy the budget core junkie, AMD's new Phenom X3s seek to bring affordable but powerful computing to the average computer. "The value proposition is simple. Three cores versus two cores. You make the choice," said Pat Moorehead, VP of Advanced Marketing at AMD. This, of course, occurs right before Intel's developer's conference

AMD is behind in the CPU market. They may have something great up their sleaves but this isn't it. I build my own systems and the price of a Intel QuadCore is extremely affordable.

Trust me, go with intel on this.

My quadcore intel system rocks!

Addition: I think it is funny how AMD says, three cores VS two. Make up your own mind. haha That is funny. Namely because there are very few programs and games at the moment that even use two cores. You might as well spend an extra $50 bucks and get a quad!

That is like having a V5 in a truck. What the heck? Go with at least a V6!

It'll depend on pricing and performance, but it's actually a smart move. If for example during the fabrication process, one of the cores has errors, they can now just disable it instead of just throwing it away and sell it as a tri-core. It helps improves their yields and gives them more offerings at very little additional overhead.

of course it will depend on pricing and performence may be it can stand out against intel

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit22d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing22d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9222d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
