Review: Techware Labs
__________
With the release of the Phenom Processor AMD has introduced the first native quad core consumer level processor. Unfortunately as has been shown in reviews around the net the Phenom is still not the performance king despite being one of the newest processors released to the market. Thus AMD follows true to tradition and has released an unlocked or "Black Edition" of their processor. AMD intends these Black Edition processors to invigorate interest in AMD products by catering toward the enthusiast desires to overclock. Initially the Black Edition was introduced in the AMD 64 X2 6400+ and later went mainstream with the 5000+ as a method of competition against the Extreme Edition processors from Intel. as you are probably aware the Black Edition processors are totally unlocked to allow full CPU multiplier manipulation which attracts serious overclockers and enthusiasts looking to get a bit more out of their machine.

If you need cheap quad core system with oki performance and doesn't want to change motherboard for the many next years, I guess this is the way to go.
