Difference between Black Edition and Non BE

Randomletters · May 28, 2010, 05:44 PM

Still debating processors, Probibly going with an Athlon IIx4 but theres a phenom II x4 non Be for 140, Where as the BE is 160. Why the $20 difference?

Never Mind! BE = Unlocked Multiplier.

Nothing to see here

Phenom II's has more cache than the Athlon II's so they're quite a bit faster at the same clock...

I think that for Random's puropses, since in another thread he said:

that the A II would do everything that he needs, and any difference in speed between it and a similar clocked PH II wouldn't be enough to notice in REAL WORLD use.
