940 Black for €249, 920 for €220

 

AMD's new 45nm Phenom II CPUs are available in the EU and the prices, as expected, are €220 and €249 for the 920 and 940 iterations respectively.

The pricier 3.0GHz Phenom II X4 940 is a Black Edition CPU with an unlocked multiplier and you can get it here, while the 2.80GHz 920 has a locked multiplier and you can get it  here.

For the first time since God knows when, AMD finally has some competitive parts in the desktop quad core market segment. The new Phenoms can overclock quite nicely, yet they're relatively affordable, especially if you consider the cost of the whole platform rather than the cost of the CPU itself.

We will post our Phenom II 940 review soon, so stay tuned.
