Strongest phenom cpu?

Solution
For gaming, the Phenom II 980. Although you may not find those available anymore. The Phenom II 965s from Newegg are basically the same, they just have a lower clock speed. You can overclock the 965 to match the settings of the 980 easily enough.

For productivity work, and, well, to an extent gaming too, the 1075T/1090T/1100Ts are 6 core CPUs also "Black Editions". But they're pretty much gone everywhere unless you pay ridiculous prices on ebay to get one (and I wouldn't)
