AMD's upcoming wave of K10 quads will see the release of the Phenom 9550, 9650, 9750 and 9850 but apparently AMD is also set to update its Black Edition line-up. The Phenom 9850 Black Edition will be clocked at 2.5 Ghz and basically be identical to the 'regular' 9850, with the only difference being the unlocked multiplier.
Already appearing in stores, the Phenom 9850 Black Edition is priced at just under $300. Unfortunately, the 125W TDP of the CPU doesn't seem too overclocking-friendly but with the right cooling it might even reach the magical 3GHz mark. Though we're not betting on it
