It’ll be an AM2+ part and will require a whole lot of cooling but AMD is promising 4GHz on air, upwards on liquids. The multiplier-locked Phenom II X4 920 will also launch, but clocking in at 2.8GHz.These will be the first - and only - AM2+ 900-series Phenom II parts, according to the data. |
The Phenom II will get you up to 4Ghz+, but the price tag is probably a bit higher, so the $500-$600 budget would probably be out of the question.
