04.01.2006AMD Launches "Black Edition" Athlon 64 X2 5000+
To complement the Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Black Edition, AMD has silently launched its Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Black Edition. All technical aspects of the
processor are identical to its non-Black Edition counterpart; the only new feature is an unlocked multiplier - allowing overclockers to increase the
frequency of the processor without the need to adjust the HyperTransport clock. In other words, the chipmaker is hoping the processor's overclocking
performance will make it a worthy new product. According sources familiar with the new CPUs launch schedule, retail availability of the processors
should come later this month, but as of right now no major supplier is selling the new processor. AMD guidance sets the MSRP of the Athlon 64 X2
5000+ Black Edition at $136 in quantities of 1,000.

24.09.2005AMD Unleashes Black Edition Phenom for Overclockers
Advanced Micro Devices on Wednesday announced its new AMD Phenom 9600 Black Edition microprocessor designed specifically for gamers and overclockers
and which performance can be customized using AMDs OverDrive utility directly from Microsoft Windows operating system.
Quad-core
AMD Phenom processor 9600 Black Edition will operate at 2.30GHz clock-speed, 2MB shared L3 cache and 512KB dedicated L2 cache per core and will have
support for dual-channel PC2-8500 (DDR2 1066MHz), just like the typical AMD Phenom 9600 chip. However, the Black Edition processor has unlocked clock
multiplier, which allows enthusiasts to clock the new chip higher than 2.30GHz without any issues that are associated with overclocking.

20.12.2007AMD launches second "Black Edition" processor
Following the Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Black Edition flagship processor, AMD has introduced a 5000+ mainstream version.
Compared to the
regular 5000+ chip, the Black Edition comes with the same 2.6 GHz clock speed, 1 MB L2 cache and 65 watt power envelope, but includes a customizable
clock multiplier that allows users to adjust the performance of the processor.
The processor is aims to attract the eyeballs of
mainstream end-users, according to AMD.
The added feature comes at a slight premium: The 5000+ Black Edition has a tray price of
$136, while the regular version lists for $125. Actual retail pricing of the new Black Edition CPU processor should follow recent AMD processor
pricing trends and should be near the tray price: The 6400+, with a tray price of $251, hit the market for an average of $272 in the week of August
21, but recently fell to an average of $249, according to Pricegrabber.com. The regular 5000+ processor currently sells for an average of $113.

processor will operate at a 2.3GHz frequency, 2MB shared L3 cache and 512KB dedicated L2 cache per core and 128KB L1 cache per core. Using
65-nanometer silicon-on-insulator technology, the CPU will be identical to its non-Black Edition counterpart (integrated DDR2 memory controller and so
on) except for the unlocked clock multiplier, which allows enthusiasts to easily clock the new chip. AMD notes the processor is priced the same as the
recently launched AMD Phenom™ 9600 quad-core pocessor, or $283 in 1000 unit quantities.

20.12.2007AMD Phenom 9600 Black Edition Overclocking
With a little help from our friends overseas, we were able to get our hands on one of the first retail Phenom 9600 Black Edition Processors available.
For those of you that are not in the know, the śBlack Editionť processors for AMD have unlocked CPU clock multipliers. Our Phenom 9600 runs at a stock
clock of 2.3GHz which is 11.5X200MHz. Being "unlocked," we can change that 11.5 to almost any number we want. We heavily petitioned AMD to deliver a
Black Edition Phenom CPU to enthusiasts because we think this is the only way to somewhat satiate brand loyal fans, considering the Phenoms
somewhat disappointing performance out of the gate.

20.12.2007Force3D Radeon HD 4870 Black Edition review
When we compared the Radeon HD 4870 and GeForce GTX 260 graphics cards a couple of months ago, the Radeon came up on top with one major exception,
heat generation.
While the 80C+ load temperatures of the the Radeon HD 4870 were a little concerning, it was the 70C+ idle temps that had
us really worried. This meant that even when sitting at the Windows desktop the Radeon HD 4870 was cranking out more than 70 degrees of heat, much of
which escaped into the case.
And finally we have a Radeon HD 4870 card that has dealt with this issue. The new Force3D Radeon HD 4870 Black
Edition slightly overclocks the standard core and memory clocks, but most importantly replaces the reference cooler with one of the best VGA air
coolers money can buy, the Arctic-Cooling Accelero Twin Turbo.

Without any challenge to present at the Core i7 performance level, AMD is trying to pressure Intel in the value segment before their Core i5 CPUs make
it to market. The new Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition that we are reviewing today operates at 3.4GHz with a 17x clock multiplier (200Mhz faster than
the 955). This new Phenom is based on the same "Deneb" architecture and therefore features 6MB L3 cache, with each core receiving its own dedicated
512KB of L2 cache (2MB total L2 cache). The Phenom II X4 965 also continues AM3 support and remains backwards compatible with AM2/AM2+ motherboards,
meaning that users can pick between DDR2 or DDR3 memory.

04.01.2006Microsoft tweaks anti-piracy check for Windows XP
Microsoft has updated software that verifies whether a copy of Windows is genuine in its Windows XP Professional edition, making it similar to the
notification in Windows Vista and thus more persistently visible to users. In a blog posting attributed to Alex Kochis, a Microsoft director of
product marketing and management, the company said it made the changes to the Windows Genuine Notification (WGA) alerts for XP Pro because it is
"the product edition that is most often stolen."
Now when a version of Windows XP Pro is found to be pirated or counterfeit, the next
time a user logs on to the system, the desktop screen background will be black, replacing whatever custom desktop may have been set by the user. This
will reappear every 60 minutes, even if a user resets the screen's background. Previously, this was not a part of the WGA notification for Windows
XP Pro.

Edition To Egypt, Turkey
Microsoft added two

Windows XP Starter Edition
Tuesday, one in Arabic for the
Egyptian market, the other
targeted at
Turkey.
St
arter Edition is a pared-down
operating system that
Microsoft introduced last year
aimed at countries where
piracy is rampant and incomes
are low. Counting the new
editions released Tuesday,
Starter Edition is now
available in nine languages
and 32
countries.
The
Arabic and Turkish versions
will be distributed in
partnership with the
governments of Egypt and
Turkey, respectively.
"Building on our joint
success in the Affordable PC
Initiative 'PC for Every
Home' that has delivered more
than a quarter of a million
PCs to Egyptian homes, we
anticipate the new Windows XP
Starter Edition will provide
wider and more affordable
technology access to the
masses," said Dr. Tare Kamel,
minister of communications for
the Arab Republic of Egypt, in
a
statement.

16.11.2005AMD Phenom X4 9850 Black Edition review
Although the release of the AMD Phenom processor series took place back in November of last year, roughly four months ago now, the highly touted
quad-core processor has received limited action so far in the computer world and a lot of negative press coverage for reasons we have documented well
enough during all this time.
In our hands-on experience with the first wave of Phenoms, we didn't think the situation was as dire as
many made it out to be. But regardless, it was a combination of a poor product launch with corporate financial trouble that raised the company to the
spotlight.
In terms of performance, AMD has stated that the new B3 processors will be no faster than the original Phenom X4 CPUs without
the TLB erratum fix enabled on a clock-for-clock basis. Therefore the Phenom X4 9600 and the new Phenom X4 9650, for example, should be no different
in terms of performance. Just as well that should mean that today’s flagship Phenom, the X4 9850, should sit somewhere between the Phenom 9700
and 9900 processors that we reviewed earlier this year.
It will be interesting to see how the 9850 stacks up against the rest of the Phenom
family and of course, Intel's Q6600.
