The Phenom X4 9850 Black Edition Processor

It's now April 2008 and AMD released their Phenom X4 50-series processors, with an all new fixed B3 core, hopefully they can now leave the past behind them and move forward with a processor that can actually start competing with the competition. The leading 'flagship' processor is the Phenom X4 9850 BE runs at a 2.5 GHz clock frequency at a full 2.0 GHz HT 3.0 speed at a 1.2-1.3V voltage and 125W TDP.

Mind you that this "Black Edition" release, the newest Phenom X4 has an unlocked multiplier that is more interesting for overclocking. We took the CPU to 3200 MHz on just the stock air-cooler.
