A Detailed look at the Black edition
The Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Black Edition is manufactured on a 65nm process using the new G2 stepping and runs at a stock speed of 2.6 GHz. Each of the two cores contains 512KB of L2 cache.
The current version of CPU-Z does not recognize the Black Edition by name, only by model number and frequency. When it runs at its default frequency of 2.6 GHz, the CPU uses a memory divider of 7, which results in a memory speed of DDR2-743.
The following table points out the differences between the two “Black Edition” processors.
| Name | 6400+ | 5000+ |
| Frequency | 3,20 GHz | 2,60 GHz |
| Cache | 2x 1 MB | 2x 512 KB |
| Process | 90 nm | 65 nm |
| Stepping | F3 | G2 |
| TDP | 125 W | 65 W |
| Multiplier | up to 16x | unlocked |
Everest recognizes the CPU correctly, identifying the G2 stepping as well as the open multiplier.

I usually don't make accounts like this. But for this review I really had to.
TERRIBLE REVIEW, just awful. Very poorly written (several numerical mistakes) and very misleading.
Who compares a stock E6550 to a X2 5000+ with a 1.0Ghz OC advantage?
Worst of all, do you ever mention the E6550 is at stock? No...
