(More customer reviews)This has to be the best known secret from AMD, it is an awesome cpu. You can look at it from two points of view:
First: If you are only interested in running it at stock clock speed then you have a really great price/performance ratio and this cpu will be good enough for most of modern duties.
Two: But if you are as me and are interested in pushing the envelope, then this cpu is a dream came true. As it is a Black Edition it is overclockable as hell, reported reviews show speeds up to 3.7 Ghz on air cooling (with after market cpu coolers of course) and some claim that it can be pushed a little bit farther. And the beauty is that this cpu runs very cool.
And if you are lucky enough and have the proper motherboard, you might get to unlock a fully functional fourth core. Yep, that is right you get a Phenom II 920 performance for a lot less money. And you can still overclock as hell!
I was lucky enough because I bough two of this cpus to upgrade my two computers, one of the 720 did not unlock the fourth core but the other one did! By the way I pair it with a Biostar TA790GX 128M motherboard, which is from what I have researched, one of the best matches to unlock the fourth core, just take into account that you must use the 2009-01-13 bios and not the newer ones because it is been said that they are patching new bios to avoid unlocking the fourth core in the 720's.
