AMD Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition Processor

With quad-core performance, the AMD Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition Processor has a clock speed rated at 3.5 GHz, with even higher speeds available by overclocking.

AMD's Black Edition processors feature unlocked clock multipliers to allow easy overclocking with compatible motherboards, which makes them a great choice for gaming or other high-performance requirements. The AMD Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition Processor also has a generous 6 MB of L3 cache and a 2000 MHz HyperTransport link to further boost capability in multi-tasking environments.

The AMD Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition Processor is able to run at such a high speed because it's built on AMD's advanced 45 nm SOI manufacturing process, ensuring low current leakage and therefore low heat output - all the more important for serious overclockers. That said, it goes without saying that you'll need a hefty heatsink and cooling system - whether air or liquid-based - to get the most out of this highly tuned chip.

Enjoy powerful performance with the AMD Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition Processor!
