Like all Phenom CPUs, the 9100e is also produced via a 65 nm process. In terms of technical features, it is completely identical to the conventional Phenom X4 CPU; the only differences are clock rates and the supply voltage. On the low-power Phenom, the speed of the memory controller and Hypertransport protocol has been set to 1600 MHz. The standard Phenom X4 runs these components at 1800 MHz, while the Phenom X4 9850 Black Edition has a clock rate of 2000 MHz.
