Finally after a lot of hide and seek, AMD Phenom triple core makes it to the market. All though as an individual you may not be able to buy a Phenom triple core and build your system around it, however AMD just has confirmed that it has started shipping Triple core Phenom chips to some major PC manufactures.

Currently Dell, HP, and UK based mesh computer, are offering AMDs triple core solutions to the desktop end users.

  • Dell Optiplex 740 promises to come with AMD Phenom 8400 Triple Core AM2+ with 2.1 GHz @ 3600 MHz FSB hyper transport and 1.5 MB of L2 and 2 MB of L3 cache memory.
  • HP already have listed one of their business desktop model, HP AL195AW running AMD Phenomâ„¢ Triple Core 8600B (2.3 GHz, 1.5 MB L2 cache, 2 MB L3 cache 3600 MHz front side bus).

Hi
All of them has 3600FSB which is enormously high as compared to what we use. So how much performance improvement can we expect?

when running Avira(gmbh) antivirus on a single core it took at least 90 minuits now when running said antivirus on the AMD Phenom it only takes 30 minuits also alough I dont use Avira any more because I use AVG 8.0.1.
