So much BS, the old Phenom II X4 and X6 BE are still really competitive after all these years. Yet, if they bother to update the instruction set, and just shrink the thing, then change it to AM3+ socket, that would be great...
K10 has so much more potential...
Yep, well that's why an unavailable 965BE is lauded on the last page.
If it was an nVidia product, it would have been declared dead and out of production, but with AMD the endless tokus smooching must go on forever.
One line about $100 "availability" is all we get for detraction...
So of course, the OTHER massive amd advantage, the REAL ONE,is missing.... it's like the braindead amd fanboy can't keep things straight with all the liesand frauds and half truths and exaggerations and special test tweakings needed to make the turd shine...
JUST BUY A 500 SERIES BLACK EDITION DUALCORE AMD PHENOM 2 AND UNLOCK AND OVERCLOCK IT - IT HAS THE 6 MB L3 CACHE SO YOU'VE GOT A PHENOM2 4X 980 ON YOUR HANDS !
DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess amd fanboys even have an ee-pinprick teensy weensy budget shame issue, even though it's all they ever whine about....
Yep, ph2 555be (550 560 565) cored to 4 and oc'ed STILL IS NEAR THE KING OF THE AMD PILES OF CRAP.
So for $33 on ebay YOU CAN HAVE THE TOP AMD GAMING PROCESSOR.
There's reality for the penny pinching amd fanboy.
You're welcome.
I just did it myself for a 6th screw around gaming system with striped raid 0 ssd's... I wasn't impressed at all but then again I detest the dark cloud of constant lies surrounding amd... so maybe there's a bit of denial.. I doubt it after the 21 sec superpi but ya never know...
So just take your am2/am3/am3+ board and unlock any of the numerous 500/600 series BE phenom 2's for dirt cheap and then OC...
stock amd boxed heatsink 4 cores 3,800mhz not a voltage touched...
