The Phenom IIx4 however has 6mb L3 cache. What is the advantage of the Phenom IIx4 over the Athlon IIx4? Thank You

jessterman21 Splendid Dec 14, 2010 2,928 2 21,465 Apr 23, 2014 #9 Here's the link for the non-Black Edition (95w) part they were selling. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113007 Out of stock permanently, most likely - but that is your best option. You may find a 945 or 925 much easier though. Upvote 0 Downvote
