AMD: Another quad-core is dressed in black

Like the Phenom 9600, the Phenom 9850 will be a Black Edition.

The quad-core black edition comes in the box at 2,5 GHz as well as its ordinary counterpart, with the difference that the multiplier lock has been removed this time as well. Although the 125 W TDP does not promise much, the 3 GHz limit can be easily crossed with proper air cooling.

The central unit that encourages overcrowding is already available in some online stores, with CompSource.com wasting $ 294.
