HP Begins Selling PC With AMD Quad-Core Phenom Chip

malware · Jan 2, 2008

Hewlett-Packard (HP) has begun selling systems based on the AMD quad-core Phenom processor at Wal-Mart, according to the retailer's website. HP becomes the first top-tier U.S. computer vendor to offer systems using the Phenom processor. Smaller vendors, such as Falcon Northwest and iBuypower, have been offering systems for a number of weeks. The HP M8330F Pavilion Desktop comes with the Phenom 9500 Quad-Core Processor (2.2GHz), a 640GB (2x 320GB) 7200-rpm Serial ATA hard drive, 3072MB of PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM memory, and Windows Vista Home Premium. The system is priced at $959.99. Other large retailers, such as Sears, are also offering the system. The Phenom 9500 and 9600 processors, generally available now, contain a bug that can cause system instability in certain rare overload situations. The bug can be fixed with a workaround. AMD is also in preparation of a new "B3" revision processors that should fix the TLB bug.

just get the 64-bit vista iso from microsoft, and your on you way to 4GB, you dont need ultimate or buy another version, all vista versions support 64-bit, same for retail and oem

i think it cost like 5 usd for shipping

Hey in the link Malware gave doesn't it show as Athlon64 X2 6000+ (under the Specs tab)? Typo from HP

hacker111 · Jan 2, 2008

Walmart?

mdm-adph · Jan 2, 2008

Link only shows the specs as having a 2000Mhz HT link, though, as far as I can see. Kind of a letdown.

WhiteLotus · Jan 2, 2008

what does this compare to the Intel offering? i mean price of a similar Intel system?

and this is good news - come on AMD get your products out there!

MAybe AMD can get some good profits out of this.

WarEagleAU · Jan 2, 2008

HP and Compaq use Enermax CPUs and a few others (antec, etc)

hat · Jan 2, 2008

Hm, Enermax and Antec... good brands

You can trick vista x86 into using 4 gigs of ram. It understands the x64 extensions.

I don't know if there's a perf. hit, though
