What is the Phenom II B93?

samuelspark · May 3, 2012

Someone please explain which CPU this is. Wasn't the BXX from dual cores/triple cores unlocked into quad cores?

It's just a business rename for OEM parts it seems, B93 is basically a PHII X4 830.

Here take a look

I would say its more like a Phenom II 925, it has the full 6MB L3 cache. Im curious to know whether they're multiplier unlocked though. Microcenter is selling them for 59.99 right now, and the B73 is for 39.99, and thats like a Phenom II 720 on the AM3 socket. Definitely killer deals as far as im concerned.
