A Detailed Look At The Black Edition
The Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Black Edition is manufactured on a 65 nm process using the new G2 stepping, and runs at a stock speed of 2.6 GHz. Each of the two cores contains 512 kB 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.
| Comparison of the Black Editions | |
|---|---|
| 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.
