4550 image incorrect

At least according to AT's review of the 4350/4550, only the 4350 comes with a fan and in the half-height reference design.

AT's review was horrible overall though. It was geared toward HTPC users, but failed to do PQ tests and used a quad-core monster PC for the testing...

They use a quadcore monster to rule out CPU bottlenecks. Still though if it was meant to be used in an HTPC I would rather have a cheap Phenom or Quad core to tell. Preferably a cheap Phenom since no one wants to spend more than what's needed.

Phenom review

Very nice review on the 8750BE. As I predicted when the phenoms were released they have matured over the last several months just as the original athlon64 did when first released. Nice to see them making some nice advancements now that Ruiz is gone.

True, but they need to go ahead and release 45nm architecture. My 5600 X2 OC'd to 3.2ghz can only last so long.. I need more cores man...

Phenom 8750 Review

Did anyone else find the review choppy in terms of grammar? Is InsideHW translated into English from another website? Even though the review was good, I found that it was very broken in certain instances.
