4 Cores for the Energy Conscious - The AMD Phenom 9350e

[primesuspect]

Mike D has run AMD's newest high efficiency quad core, the 9350e, through its paces (http://icrontic.com/articles/phenom_9350e).

While still not close to unseating Intel's Q6600, the 9350e puts out some impressive numbers, especially for those eco-minded buyers who want a cool and quiet HTPC or corporate desktop. Read on!

This is a pretty nice chip that'll do well in niche environments. Great review Mike!

Nice, Mike.

I think the 9350 would be an excellent choice for someone who wants acceptable quad core performance but is not interested in overclocking. This time, when AMD claimed power efficient, they were standing on solid ground.
