AMD launched the CPU (processor) Quad-core they are the fastest in May 2011 precisely, dated 3 Mei2011. AMD's focus on the mainstream echoes to a certain extent its GPU strategyAMD focus on the mainstream Echoes to a GPU to perform certain extent its strategy: AMD Phenom II X4 980 is designed with 6MB L3 cache for all cores and personal L2s 512KB per core. This chip is built on 45nm process with Global Foundries die size of 258mm2, and approximately 758M transistors. To remain in the 125W TDP and the chip should work on all types of motherboards Socket AM3.
Phenom X4 II 980 has a 3.7GHz clock, which is the default clock speed of AMD fastest today, and as fast as AMD flagship hexa-core Phenom II X6 1100T with Triple-core Turbo mode. Closest competitor is Intel Core processor i5 2400 that offers four core 3.1GHz default clock with 3.4GHz max turbo.

Typically, AMD Phenom II processors are downward unlocked CPU multiplier, with a choice of voltage is limited by mainboard BIOS and configuration of VRM. Thanks to Black Edition CPU multiplier unlocked, which allows adjustments to increase the clock speed increases, making the Phenom X4 II Overclocking simple 980.

Initially AMD introduced the Phenom architecture II to compete with Intel's Core 2 line, at about two years ago. Since then Intel has gone through a major revision microarchitecture (Sandy Bridge). According to our most competitive AMD on the edge of his lineup.
So a little review about AMD Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition that we can explain. Hope can be a reference and a bit of our collective knowledge.
