Our test platform for the AMD Phenom II is going to have two facets. For the AM2+ Phenom IIs we will be using the Phenom II X4 940 which is the top of the line Phenom II CPU on that platform. As the AM2+ CPUs do not work on the AM3 platform, we will be using a different 4 core CPU once it's available to purchase.
