AMD Guru's. I need your assistance.

[Emphacy]

As some of you already know, I've been writing a guide for beginners to selecting desktop components for different computer systems, wether this is an office, gaming, high performance or server based system
I've finished the Intel CPU comparison chart with the help of the people here at OcUK, but I've now moved on to the AMD comparisons -Yes I know, it's been a while, I've had a lot of work going on.

Below are three tables, the low end, mid range and high end based AMD processors with their relevant information added. I've tried to make them as accurate as possible using benchmarks from other websites.

These tables are huge compared to my Intel tables and I would like to, if necessary to shorten them down somehow.
What if anything, do you think needs to be changed, added or removed from these tables, are there any CPU's that should be included or excluded?

All opinions are important. Thanks for your help!

If the guide is only based on new components then you can remove all those no longer available.

If you're including using second hand components then you need as full a list as possible.

 

[Jokester]

Heh, I was just looking at this a couple of days ago. AMD have a ridiculous amount of processors available.

 

[Hagar]

Surely FSB is a dead term.
Are you saying memory clock support?
All AMD current processors (except sempron probably) use a busclock of 200MHz. This controls the core, HT, NB and memory frequencies in the system with differing multipliers.
Intel used to use quad pumped clocks and call it FSB now using a bus clock of 100 similarly AMD have dropped FSB which used to be dual pumped 133, 166 or 200MHz in their 64bit processors

Phenom II X4 940 should be 125 W

 

[gari]

missing processors

why don't you have any of the phenom II x2's listed?

 

[Jayster]

If you want to shorten the list I would remove the zosma chips considering they are not available at retail.

Thanks for that, I do often make the odd mistake.

Are they AM3 or AM2? I can't remember, but there must have been a good reason why I didn't include them.

I'll do that then, cheers.

Am I being thick or is there no Llano chips on there?

 

[d_brennen]

There were 2 types of 1055T, the mainstream retail one was 125w while the rarer 95w oem version was only available as part of a bundle (tho I sweet talked one on its own )

the phenom 2 x2 550 is am3, but all am3 chips to my knowledge are backwards with am2 anyway.

Hmm, they are a Phenom II based architecture, I don't know how I missed these, I'm not up to speed with AMD. I'll add them ASAP. As for the Phenom II X4 940, it was originally 125W but they later released a 95W version.

 

[TheMorningStar]

Correct me if I am wrong here but the 940 is AM2+ and can't be AM3 as it has no DDR3 memory controller, that would also make the quoted "FSB" wrong, the 945 is the AM3 equivalent of this chip running the same clock speed, just with the DDR3 controller added. The 940 is also not listed as a BE, I'm not sure if they made both a BE and locked version?

I'd love to be wrong mind, would make it a hell of a lot easier to upgrade my mobo and RAM and keep this CPU for a bit

My computer uses an AMD Zacate E-350 processor, dual core 1.6Ghz with built in HD6310 gpu and 18w tdp
