The Bottom Line

The X3 720 Black Edition looks to be a great enthusiast CPU for those on a budget that are looking for some very solid performance in the gaming arena. Match it up with some inexpensive DDR3-1333, which should be fairly easy to do since AMD’s internal memory controlling is not as restricting as Intel’s in terms of voltage, and you can have yourself a scorching 3.5GHz barebones gaming system easily around $400 sans the video card.

Kudos to AMD for bringing “value” and “black edition” together like should have been done a long time ago.

Besides that, Phenom II was already affordable. Hell their flagship product is $65 more expensive than my e8400.
