AMD Phenom X4 9350e
With the release of the Phenom X4 9350e (and its little sibling, the 9150e), AMD has produced a set of CPUs to complement its 780G chipset. Together, they complete an energy-efficient, low-power, low-noise platform for home-theater or SFF PCs.
Clocked at 2GHz and with a TDP of only 65W, the 9350e is designed for energy efficiency, not performance, yet it did well in benchmark tests. For instance, I was a bit surprised to see that the 9350e scored playable frame rates on Crysis, even at a high-quality setting.
This processor is powerful enough to satisfy any home-theater needs, and it can handle DX10 gaming,too. Yet it stays cool enough to keep the case fans inactive most of the time. Pair the 9350e with the 780 chipset's impressive integrated graphics and low power draw, and you've got yourself a "cool" 'n' quiet" and solidly performing HTPC rig for very little dough.
Nice one,AMD.
