Interesting, details on a Phenom II TWKR series processors surfaced yesterday. As it seems, AMD is preparing something 'special' for the overclocking community out there. This new release would be a new processor that is going to provide you guys with clock speeds higher than that of the Phenom II X4 955 BE model.

The special edition processor will be tagged under Phenom II Black Edition TWKR (READ tweaker). It already has been handed out to the folks from Maingear, a custom PC builder. AMD is yet to officially announce the product, which will apparently be available in a cool-looking black box, to distinguish itself from the other Phenom II Black Edition processors on the market. There's still some uncertainty regarding AMD's plans with said CPU, as to whether it will be released as a standalone part or sold with select computer systems.
