Test: AMD Phenom II 42 TWKR

Summary

From an overclockers point of view it is great that AMD has started to aid overclockers around the world with special handpicked CPUs, and the TWKR'er really squeeze out the last power Phenom II C2 stepping has to offer. But let us now summarize how I feel about the product in the form of some points.

Innovation & Technology - 5
Special handpicked CPUs which pushes the current stepping and architecture of the Phenom II to the extreme! It just doesn’t get better than that!

Design / Layout - 5
The box alone, which pictures were leaked prior to the release, caused the speculation on the CPUs specification to go berserk on the world's IT Forum. The box radiates exactly the exclusivity you find in the CPU inside it.

Performance - 5
There can be no doubt here. This CPU is the best of the best and it reveals the full capability the C2 stepping has to offer and it is inconceivable that other Phenom II CPUs can match the performance, as long as they use the same stepping. A large 5 here, as Etta Cameron would have said.
