AMD Phenom II 42 TWKR Black Edition Processor
In this article you find a quick look at the CPU-Z v1.52.0 performance off the essential stats of our TWKR processor. The processor is your run of the mill Phenom II X4 and features 6 MB shared of L3 cache. Each individual core also features 64 KB of L1 Data cache, 64 KB of L1 Instruction cache, and 512 KB of L2 cache. The TWKR CPU has the same review and stepping of the CPU we used in our Phenom II X4 955 CPU reviews, so it's just elite and binned processor.
AMD has started the launch of the Phenom II TWKR Black Edition processors. It is a special version which is capable of extremely high clock rates. TWKR is a stylized abbreviation for Tweaked. The processor will only be distributed to selected PC manufacturers indicating that TWKR processors will not be available on the retail market. AMD has not revealed many details yet. But it seems to be clear that those Phenom IIs will have the free multiplier of the Black Edition and very good overclocking capabilities.
The AMD Phenom II 42 TWKR Black Edition processors will probably be available only in complete systems which are cooled with dry ice or liquid nitrogen. So high clock rates can be guaranteed. First samples are said to be already delivered to high-end system manufacturers.
AMD launch its new processor that pesky NDA that we agreed to has been lifted and we can freely talk about the TKWR processors that AMD sent out to key press and over lockers. Let’s take a look at the basic AMD Phenom II TWKR CPU Details:
•AMD created a small number of limited edition “TWKR” processors explicitly for the extreme overclocking community in approval for their record performance feats with technology and AMD Phenom II processors. These processors are designed to reach the extreme performance barriers of the AMD Phenom II processor and operate beyond the stipulation of typical production level processors.
•Called the AMD Phenom II X4 42 Black Edition TWKR processor, it is not for sale, and not covered by AMD’s product warranty. This processor is provided “as is” and AMD is not responsible for any damages, of any type or character caused as a result of using this processor. The processor will be distributed at this time exclusively through AMD promotional means.
•Under tremendous low temperatures (liquid nitrogen and liquid helium cooling), TWKR processors can reach clock frequencies and near absolute zero temperatures previously unheard of for x86 quad-core processors.
•These processors exhibit the sound engineering and superior process technology that
is in each AMD Phenom II processor.
Opening up the box that garnered the nickname 'Pandora's box' around our test lab, we discovered the handpicked AMD Phenom II 42 Black Edition TWKR processor. It's not every day you get a processor delivered to your door step that was exclusive to be an overclocking winner and will never be for sale to the public. This is every overclocker's dream and we are more than willing to overclock this little guy to the max.
Captivating a closer look at the AMD Phenom II TWKR Black Edition Processor we see that the processor has a part number of 42. We contacted AMD and they said that they had to give the part a model number and picked 42 as it means 4 cores at 2 GHz.
We weren't too sure about the whole '42' part number, but once we fired up the processor it started to click as the processor defaults to a 2GHz clock frequency. Now the whole 4 cores at 2 GHz makes some sense. Since this is a fully unlocked Black Edition processor it will never be run with these settings other than the very first time the system is fired up.
