AMD has been ashamed by the poor core performance of their now still popular Phenom processors and the release of the X3 variants of their Phenom series, with a much lower clock speed than their Intel core 2 counterparts, really hurt the performance stakes for AM, in both gaming benchmarks and real world applications. Also being plagued by bugs and memory hags and misses, for the Phenom being also diseased by the plague drastically need a cure and added a few patches and updates to cover it up. K* architecture which they based everything in the Athlon and the Phenom processors is going to be replaced with the newer K10 architecture, also having a better reception than the previous K series, this can be a break for a long time that AMD is looking for and also looking at the new Athlon 7750 black edition from AMD.
The AMD Athlon series, is another branch of the Athlon series that go with the newer K10 architecture, plus the 7750 is a high end choice for the AMD fans out there, with the processors are in a stock clock speed at 2.7GHz with the accommodation of up to L3 caching in the 7750, with the L2 cache being 512K in each of the core and a L3 shared 8MB memory to give it a better memory bandwidth. With the new AMD socket AM3 socket going with the 7750, supports DDR2 1066Mhz fsb and also a HTT4.0 for the onboard memory in the CPU. With the power wattage of the CPU is in the range of 120W, this can be an over-clockable and also unlockable performance, being a black edition, the multiplier is unlocked to give further head room for increase clock speed. We can’t over-clock the 7750 yet, because we were planning to test it in DDR3 interface, for the over clocking potential in over a much favoured and expensive DDR3 memory. But who the hell, it can only go far with a DDR2 memory with just 3.4GHz in the chip, plus being susceptible to large amounts of heat but pretty stable for a whole burn in test.
While the performance of the new and improved Athlon 7750 Black edition with the rest of its pack of Phenom and triple and quad cores. With the test bed showing that the Black edition 7750 has just being better than the previous Athlon series, with raw speed and memory read and write. But against Intel they cannot compete with the much higher clocked E8500, but beats it with read and memory write, for encoding is 1/3 slower from the Intel E8500 and even with the multi threading enabled Intel beat it with 1000 more scores over AMD. This is definitely a worst case scenario for AMD, being not that particularly fast in raw calculations, but to compensate it with lower latencies and timing, this could be great for a multi media purposes but for a Intel dual core alternative, Just does not have the potential.

    Why im just can got 3.2ghz clock?i was used biostar T series 790Gx128m + venomRx boomslang 700w + Ocz reaper 2Gb kit + vga onboard..what i supposhed to do to get 3.5Ghz clock?i need the answer.please

  2. well, to be straight is your cooler an OEm based cooler you bought bundled into your CPU this probaly not adequate to cool a newer dual core processors expesically the black editions, so heat can be a factor. so you better buy high performance coolers like Zalman or thermaright and a little bit of themral paste to bring the temps down. also if you want to acquire higher clock yields, be prepare to increase the Vcore, to operate in such high frequency, it can vary form board to board I can acquire in the nwer ASUS motherboards almost 3.7GHz but still struggling to have stable tests, so it really is up to you and your board capabilites. then you can go to the BOIS menus and fiddle with the frequency timer and the BE edition has an unlock core multplier, so you can increase the basic clock to say 230MHz and 15x multipler to acquire in maths 3.5GHz, but you have to increase the Vcore to make it stable.
