Product Information
Another incredibly fast Black Edition processor from AMD, the AMD Phenom II X4 975 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor offers unbeatable multi-core processing power sure to delight demanding consumers. Engineered to meet the needs of advanced systems and multi-threaded applications, this CPU is powerful enough for even the most demanding applications. Whether you need that power for gaming, video editing, or multitasking, you can be assured that there's nothing the Phenom II X4 975 can't handle. A base clock speed of 3.6 GHz offers industry-leading multitasking performance. Each core has the power to handle an advanced single-threaded program, allowing you to utilize up to four highly demanding applications at once. These CPUs are compatible with any AMD motherboard sporting an AM3 socket. A massive 6 GB L3 cache and four 512 KB L2 caches enhance performance by storing critical data closer to the CPU, decreasing latency. Each cache is enhanced with Direct Connect architecture. This architecture employs HyperTransport technology to further reduce latency and increase performance. An integrated memory controller directly connects each processor core to system components for enhanced speed and high throughput. This unit is designed with a 4000 MHz bus, allowing all of the various system components to communicate very quickly. By utilizing all of these advanced technologies, the AMD Phenom II X4 975 3.6 GHz CPU can power even the most demanding software applications.The unlocked multiplier allows the user to overclock the CPU and push it even further with effective aftermarket cooling. Each core comes fully equipped with a fan and heat-sink. It can be enhanced significantly with new fans or liquid cooling if you want to see how overclocking can enhance your computer's performance. The Phenom II Black series of processors come equipped with PowerNow! and CoolCore technologies that effectively regulate the power usage of each core without incurring any cost to operational speed. Combined with AMD's Dual Dynamic Power Management, this core will last longer while using less energy over the course of its lifespan. A TDP of only 125W means this unit already limits its power consumption, making the AMD Phenom II X4 975 3.6 GHz Black Edition CPU an excellent choice for green computing.If you work in a virtual environment or use virtualization for testing, the AMD-V Technology with rapid virtual indexing will greatly enhance your virtual environment. These enhancements improve security and reliability by allowing virtual environments to directly access system hardware, increasing speeds for memory access and allocation. The end result is a significantly more efficient and secure virtual experience, and all independent benchmarks have demonstrated this result.Whether you're into hardcore gaming, advanced video editing, or system virtualization, these black edition processors are capable of handling whatever you throw at them. With an incredible capacity for overclocking, smart caching technology and high bus speeds, and technologies designed for easy virtualization and power management, this is a unit worth looking into.Product Identifiers
