A new AMD platform has been put together with the launch of the 45 nanometer Phenom II processors. The video card has been changed to reflect the times as a GeForce 8800GTS 320MB is hardly current in the scheme of things. The CPU is a retail boxed AMD Phenom II X4 940 that we purchased off the Internet. The tests are the same as our Core i7 platform.
