    AMD launches Athlon X2 7850 Black Edition

    Athlon X2 7850 will launch tomorrow, together with Radeon HD 4770 graphics card, and once again, AMD will have a great price, tailored for the current economy.


    At 2.8GHz, the Athlon X2 7850 BE inches ahead of the 2.7 GHz Athlon X2 7750 launched in December of last year. Beyond the 100 MHz bump in clock speed, however, these chips are essentially the same. That's not necessary a bad thing, though. Clock-for-clock, the new Kuma based dual cores from AMD are much faster than the outgoing Brisbane core, thanks in part to the improved architecture, level 3 cache, and the addition of new instruction sets.

    With a price tag of only $69, the Athlon X2 7850 will compete directly with Intel's Pentium Dual Core line-up. However, its excellent price/performance ratio could pose a threat to the Core 2 Duo family as well. That said, today's review will focus not only on performance, but also on value. Even in good economic times this is a top concern of most consumers, and in today's market it's even more important, particularly when you consider the steep prices of high-end quad core systems.

    Thank you for the constructive remark. I have always been happy with AMD, despite the ups and downs, the price / quality ratio is very good at home, the evidence with this processor that will delight fans who seek to make an X4 7850 to 69 around 50th or $ . one who is lucky and has no core will make a super bad case.
