Pros: Great mix of performance, reasonable tdp, Black edition, unlocked multiplier with great overclocking headroom, at a very reasonable price. DDR3 ready. Also compatable with current AM2+ chip sets with a bios flash, and inexpensive DDR2. Increased L3 cache and improved overall archatecture.
Stock Cooler is actualy fairly good with copper heat pipes. Idles around 42C when overclocked to 3.5 per core, runs stable overclocked on the stock heatsink with a small voltage bump.
Third core adds multitasking stability, can actualy run anti virus now without a noticeable performance hit. Defrag your hard drive, while playing Unreal Tournament III, thats pretty awesome.
95 Watt TDP reasonable for this much processing power.
Cons: Only that other Phenom II's are offering a free game in a bundle, that might make those a better value for you.
Other Thoughts: AMD realy has pulled through. Has this much overclocking and performance ever been available for this little? Competition is good.
