Do you remember the year 1999 when AMD released the first ever Athlon-branded processor? No offense to the older K6-2 models but in the minds of a lot of people, the Athlon which was part of the AMD K7 family, was the processor that launched AMD to the next level. The Athlon displayed a level of performance that matched the power of its competitors.
Now, thanks to Athlon’s combination of reliability, speed and affordability, AMD is able to steal some of its competitor’s thunder once again. The company that has earned the trust of millions of users has released another great CPU. The AMD Phenom 9600 Processor is exactly as its name implies: it is a phenomenal processor that can provide your PC with the power it needs to run programs effectively.
