#amd athlon x2 7750 BE

Yesterday, while scouting around for that elusive Phenom II X4, I chanced upon this new processor SKU from AMD -- the Athlon 64 X2 7750 BE @ 2.7GHz. As it turns out, the Athlon X2 7750 is a fairly new processor that AMD quietly released last December and codenamed Kuma. Following the logic above, AMD should ahve actually named the X2 7750 as the Phenom X2. As to why they did not follow that naming convention and went back as far as calling it an Athlon 64 X2 7750, I don't really know. The 7750 BE (Black Edition) also runs at 2.7GHz but has an  unlocked clock frequency multiplier which means this CPU is ready for overclocking out of the box (as all other Black Edition AMD CPUs have been). Here's a screenshot of the CPUZ report: With a price point of Php4,000, the X2 7750 is lodged in the middle of older AMD CPUs like the X2 5200 (@2.7GHz), the X2 5600 (@2.9GHz) and the X2 6000 (@3.0).
