Phenom/fɪˈnɒm/ is the 64-bitAMD desktop processor line based on the K10 microarchitecture,[1] in what AMD calls family 10h (10 hex, i.e. 16 in normal decimal numbers) processors, sometimes incorrectly called 'K10h'. Triple-core versions (codenamed Toliman) belong to the Phenom 8000 series and quad cores (codenamed Agena) to the AMD Phenom X4 9000 series. The first processor in the family was released in 2007.
Background[edit]
AMD considers the quad core Phenoms to be the first 'true' quad core design, as these processors are a monolithic multi-core design (all cores on the same silicon die), unlike Intel's Core 2 Quad series which are a multi-chip module (MCM) design. The processors are on the Socket AM2+ platform.[2]
Before Phenom's original release a flaw was discovered in the translation lookaside buffer (TLB) that could cause a system lock-up in rare circumstances; Phenom processors up to and including stepping 'B2' and 'BA' are affected by this bug. BIOS and software workarounds disable the TLB, and typically incur a performance penalty of at least 10%.[3] This penalty was not accounted for in pre-release previews of Phenom, hence the performance of early Phenoms delivered to customers may have been less than the preview benchmarks. 'B3' stepping Phenom processors were released March 27, 2008 without the TLB bug and with 'xx50' model numbers.[4]
An AMD subsidiary released a patch for the Linux kernel,[5] to overcome this bug by software emulation of accessed- and dirty-bits. This method causes less performance loss than previous workarounds. The program was said in December 2007 to have received 'minimal functional testing.'[6][7]
AMD launched several models of the Phenom processor in 2007 and 2008 and an upgraded Phenom II in late 2008.[8][9][10][11] Ecm tools iso.

Features[edit]
Model naming methodology[edit]
The model numbers of the Phenom line of processors were changed from the PR system used in its predecessors, the AMD Athlon 64 processor family. The Phenom model numbering scheme, for-later released Athlon X2 processors, is a four-digit model number whose first digit is a family indicator.[12] Energy Efficient products end with an “e” suffix (for example, 'Phenom 9350e'). Some Sempron processors use the prefix LE (for example, 'Sempron LE-1200')
| Series number [13] | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Processor series | Family Indicator | |||
| Phenom X4 quad-core (Agena) | X4 9xxx | |||
| Phenom X3 triple-core (Toliman) | X3 8xxx | |||
| Athlon dual-core (Kuma) | X2 7xxx /6xxx | |||
| Athlon single-core (Lima) | 1 | |||
| Sempron single-core (Sparta) | 1 | |||

Some more details of AMD A6-3420M
The AMD A6-3420M bumps up the clock frequency of A6-3400 by 100 MHz. This should make it better performing than many of the Core i3 Sandy Bridge processor and brings it closer to some of the Core i5 Sandy Bridge processors. The Integrated Graphics in the A6-3420M is much better than the Intel’s HD Graphics 3000 and supports DirectX11. A great graphics at low power could be the best reason for you to consider A6-3420M
Some more details of Core i3-2330M
The Core i3-2330M marginally improves upon the core i3-2310M and should therefore offer a performance improvement of the order of 4%. The turbo boost is not available with core i3-2330M which will reduce its performance as compared to the core i5 processors. The graphics performance is decent with Intel’s integrated graphics 3000 but not great.
