AMD always manages to impress with products that offers great value for money. The processor we've tested today does not change that fact, despite it being another (of many) smaller speed bump refreshes.The Phenom II X4 975 BE processor falls in the top s...
Overclocks netted 650MHz, Affordable, Works in current AM2and AM3 motherboards
Small increase in performance over previous model
Follwing up the Fall release of the 3.5GHz Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition with a Winter release of the Phenom II X4 975 Black Edition seems like the logical thing for AMD to do. While the 100MHz provides a slight increase in performance over the previ...

Good value for upgrading an aging AMD-based system, Compatible with older AM2+ motherboards, DDR2 memory
Outclassed by Intel's latest similarly priced CPU, Only slight speed bump over its predecessor
