Hi all,

We have just published a review of *AMD's Phenom X4 9350e* quad-core
processor - if you could post a link on your site that would be very
much appreciated.

*/"There doesn't seem to be too much special with this particular
silicon. For the same price there are too many other processor choices
that offer better performance in every other area - an Intel Core 2 Quad
Q6600 is virtually the same price (and probably less following the
recent price cuts) and offers oodles more performance, and many of our
readers can testify to building a very quiet PCs based on this CPU.

We're struggling to think of situations where you'd absolutely need this
CPU - the only one we can come up with is if you wanted a quad-core
mini-ITX board that's limited to 65W. This would be the only option that
would fit, so it wins by default. But then again we fail to understand
why you'd buy this over a Phenom X4 9550

Essentially, unless it fills a specific application you require, then
this CPU is not for you. Even if you / which is cheaper and you can
simply underclock and undervolt it a touch. /do decide you need it,
you'll need to //find a Phenom X4 9350e (it's been a month since launch
and they're still not available anywhere UK or State-side)."
