It may come as a surprise, but the AMD Phenom X4 9850 processor has been released. The X4 9850 is a great processor for its segment when comparing to the still available B2 and B3 which were a bit disappointing when comparing to anything Intel had in their top-of-the-line Core 2 series.
It runs at 2.5 GHz, a 200 MHz increase over the previous B2 stepping top frequency of 2.3 GHz. It is also a fully unlocked processor. The added performance and efficiency of the 2000 MHz memory controller and system bus add to the benefits of the 2.50 GHz clock rate producing the best fastest stock speed AMD quad-core CPU to date.
The estimated price for an AMD Phenom X4 9850 processor is $235.
