The CEO of Maingear, a company that likes to produce overclocked PCs has leaked what seems to be the first picture of AMD’s new CPU simply called TWKR. You can check them here.
Since he didn’t said that much about it, we ask around and
managed to get a few information, including the one that TWKR stands for
Tweaker.
Tweaker is an overclocker part that can stand much more
voltage and it gets cherry picked. This is supposed to be the best chip in the
wafer, so if there are 200 K10.5 on a single wafer, this one is the best one out of the 200.
It should be able to take much more voltage than any
standard Phenom II X4 CPU and therefore is has every chance to be good
overclocker.
It is still not officially launched and once that happens we
still don’t know if AMD will decide to sell these parts as they would most
likely end up expensive and ship in very limited quantities.
