*/Finally, AMD is mostly lacking stock - right now, even a few days

after release you still can't buy any of these CPUs - that's a mirroring

of the Athlon X2 7750 and Phenom II X4 940/920 launches where actual

product was unavailable for several weeks. We seriously hope AMD

rectifies this soon, because it only gives Intel more chance to fill the

gap.

 

At the end of the day, the Phenom II X3 710 is a superb price at a shade

over £100 for a pretty high performance multi-core CPU (certainly better

than the original "cheap" triple-cores) and dropped into an AM2+

motherboard the Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition affords some much needed

consumer choice for inexpensive, multi-core overclocking fun./
