AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Black Edition
This CPU is a very good choice for the mainstream market users who cannot aford to pay too much for their hardware. The 5000+ Black Edition has its multiplier unlocked and so this means that anyone with some hardware knowledge will definitely try the overclocking capabilities - since it does not require any aditional special cooling system (it handles the processing with the cooler from the retail box). The specs are 2,600GHz, HT2000, L1-128KB x2, L2-512KB x2 and it was built under the 65nm (65W) design which shows why this CPU will not generate so much heat. This CPU is capable of leaving behind other CPUs which have bigger frequencies by default and have bigger prices - and that is possible if the X2 5000+ Black Edition is clocked at 3.3 GHz. The video encoding processing power is truly amasing once that frequency core is achieved, without having to raise either the FSB or the memory frequency, making it a safe choice for any AM2 motherboard. Yes, it is capable to beat the Intel Core 2 Duo E6400in video encoding matches and it does all that at "only" $99.
