Title: AMD Phenom II X3 On Linux ( -at -) Phoronix

Summary: "Earlier this year AMD launched the Phenom II series to succeed

the original quad-core Phenom processors, with these newer desktop CPUs

being built upon a 45nm process, tripling the amount of Level 3 cache to

6MB, and offering support for both DDR2 and DDR3 system memory. Prior to

the launch of the Phenom II we had tested the AMD Shanghai Opterons on

Linux and benchmarked these CPUs on OpenSolaris too, which were the

server/workstation version of this new AMD 45nm core. With the Phenom II

series there is the X3 and X4 line-up for triple-core and quad-core

processors, respectively. In this article we are looking at how well the

AMD Phenom II X3 710 performs under Ubuntu Linux."
