To be "Phenomenal" at something, or to be a person of certain great qualities that just can't be described. Not necessarily a prodigy, but certainly special. They posses a certain "it factor" about themselves, something that goes beyond the exterior but comes from their core and radiates out.
True phenoms exude qualities such as ambition, caring, respect, honor, integrity, and all around character. They are the people you look at and although others may not see it, you know that they are going to be big one day.
A person who says they are a "Phenom" or have "Phenom" abilities are not. This includes saying your middle name is Phenom on Myspace or Facebook. You cannot be a self-proclaimed Phenom, that would be a paradox.
Guy 1: "Hey man check this out on the news. Soldier died sacraficing himself for his fellow comrades. He was said by his peers to have those special qualities that made him stand out among the rest. Looks like they're giving him the Medal of Honor, that guy is phenom."
Guy 2: "Yeah (begins deleting "Phenom" as his middle name on Facebook)

A four CPU processor released by AMD Inc. in the year 2007, in the Agena core variant, and in the year 2009, with the Deneb core variant.
The Agena variant of the Phenom processor had a defect (errata) which made all of these chips somewhat slower than AMD's high range dual core chips and substantially slower than its competition's quad core chips. This hurt AMD's reputation and caused it to lose prestige and footing in the market.
The Deneb variant has no errata issues and is fairly competitive with other quad core processors by competing manufacturers.
The benchmarks published on most computer enthusiast websites confirm that the Phenom 9500 is actually slower in most applications than the Athlon X2 6000.

When something simple and good goes horrendously or stupefyingly bad. Usually pertains to MMO games. Origination of this word is derived from the browser-based MMORTS game 'Lord of Ultima'. Developed by Phenomic, an EA studio. The game had attracted many players with it's straightforward and addictive gameplay, but through numerous patches and "improvements", Phenomic has ruined it by dramatically changing gameplay mechanics, or not completely testing functionality in updates, thus chasing away countless players and destroying months-long experiences for many others.
The new MMO game intrigued players during beta and so word of mouth spread, attracting many new players. But then as updates were released, most players /quit with a parting message of "this game is phenomically bad".
