Like the superheroes of old, the AMD Phenom II streaks out of the night to lay waste to your enemies with three 2.6GHz cores that have L1 and L2 caches for each core and 6MB of L3 cache to be shared to handle really heavy loads or large data sets.
Memory transfers get faster than ever. HyperTransport Generation 3.0 mode allows up to 16.0GB/s of bandwidth. Up to 17.1GB/s memory bandwidth for DDR2 and up to 21GB/s memory bandwidth for DDR3 memory controller delivers an amazing 37GB/s of processor-to-system bandwidth. This unprecedented bandwidth is needed to feed the data hungry AMD64 with Direct Connect Architecture cores.
You'd think that all of this power would be too hot to handle. Think again. AMD's Cool'n'Quiet 3.0 technology works with CoolCore Technology to minimize heat while keeping power and efficiency up. Now the cores can shut down unused parts of the processor when not in use. This saves power and helps to reduce the amount of heat generated. This function is built in so there's no need for drivers or BIOS updates.

Love it!
- Pros: This is the best drop in upgrade for the AM2(+) platform. Period. It runs as cool as my 45 watt BE-2400 did (20c-mid twenties with a scythe ninja mini), the performance difference is very noticeable between this and even an overclocked Phenom based 7750 @ 3.0ghz at stock clocks. It's overclocking capability is yet to be fully realized, right now, holding steady at 3.12ghz with just a quick FSB bump.
All three cores are very responsive to my heavy multitasking, gaming experience is also much better now (especially with cpu intensive GTA4).
- Cons: The stock heatsink is what some might consider dinky (although it is better than the original stock AMD aluminum heatsink), I feel it is only adequate, especially for the price of this processor.
Three cores will (almost) always lose out to four in multithreaded benchmarks, three will (almost) always lose to two in clock frequency benchmarks.
- Other Thoughts: No regrets about getting it.
Bottom line; for real world performance, the odd one out is the best value in.
To the guys who rated this 1 egg!
- Pros: Great CPU, relatively inexpensive
- Cons: Non that I can think off
- Other Thoughts: Do your research before giving the CPU/Newegg a bad rep! This is indeed an AM3 CPU. The only difference between Phenom II X3 and Phenom II X4 are the number of cores. The X3's have one core disabled. The Phenom II X3's are AM3 CPU's, meaning they support both DDR2 and DDR3. The AM3 CPU's can work in an AM2+ motherboard with proper bios updates. So its up to the motherboard manufacturer to release the updated bios. Most AM2+ motherboards have DDR2 support which works just fine with an AM3 CPU (Phenom II X3 and X4)!!! ENJOY!!!

- Pros: Well worth the price paid. The processor handles most anything thrown at it. Have not had any slowdowns yet. Using windows 7 with 4 gigs of ram and it runs as if it is windows xp.
- Cons: None
- Other Thoughts: Triple core is definitely and upgrade from a dual core plus with the right motherboard you can unlock the fourth core. I love AMD.
- Pros: Screaming fast. 6.6 on Windows Experience Index. Haven't tried to unlock the 4th core-yet. Picked it up for $109 and free shipping.
- Cons: None.
- Other Thoughts: CPU: AMD Phenom II X3 710 2.6GHz Socket AM3 95W Triple-Core Processor

Power Supply: CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V
OS: Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium (Student Upgrade)
Love it
- Pros: Helps wonderfully with gaming and muti-tasking.
- Cons: None so far
- Other Thoughts: Haven't tried OCing yet, but don't really need to. Forth core isn't really needed for anything just yet. So 3 will do me for quite awhile. For the price, you cannot pass this little guy up.
