Chip maker Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD), the world’s No.2 microprocessor maker, has released its latest microprocessor; Phenom which is the company’s first quad-core processor for desktop PC market, a year after Intel’s first quad-core chips were released.

In addition to that, AMD also unveiled an all-in-one bundle of silicon components for desktop PCs, dubbed Spider.

It envelopes an all-AMD processor Phenom chip, graphic cards, and chipset for the most complete computing platform. The two Phenom processors are essentially desktop versions of AMD’s Barcelona quad-core processors. They’re designed for the upper half of the desktop market: gamers who don’t have thousands of dollars to spend on the ultra high-end equipment and families who want a powerful home PC without breaking the bank. When combined with the Radeon HD 3850 and 3870 unveiled last Wednesday, you get a pretty decent system for around $900 to $1,200, said Leslie Sobon, director of desktop product marketing for AMD.

This really sounds nice, but not in my plan to go for one just yet. Maybe anybody whose gotten one of these can share the feel and experience
