AMD, a company not exactly known for
meeting its own deadlines, seemed to be trying to avoid news of painful delays for the Phenom II by simply
not letting anyone say when the thing would be available. Now the chip is apparently in the hands of one lucky gamer at the
HardOCP forums, Table21, who was kind enough to run it through its paces. The Phenom II 940 running at 3GHz scored a 4,091 on 3DMark06 and, once OC'd up to 3.85GHz, delivered a score of 5,086. It's rather too early to draw any conclusions from these numbers, and we don't know what he paid for the thing, but that performance does fall well behind Intel's Core i7 Extreme that was
similarly benchmarked last month, scoring 6,608 at the same clock speed. That's quite a gap -- but nothing a little
liquid nitrogen won't fix.
