Let's take a look at the chip itself before we really get into the tests. First of all it runs at 65nm. The other Black Edition, the 6400+, runs a 90nm, making it a bit hotter and using more power when you overclock it.

Second of all this chip runs at a stock 2.5ghz. After placing it on my board, without any tweaks or overclocks on my part, this thing came out running at a nice 2.8 ghz. This gives me great hopes for the overclocking potential of this chip. You'll also want to take note this is a Socket AM2 chip, so make sure your board supports it.

Another nice point about this processor is the price. The AMD 6400+ prices in at about $180, which can be a bit high for some user's budgets. Some people want speed and value, and the 5000+ Black Edition is exactly where their look needs to stop. At $130, this processor gives great power at a great price. Overclocking is where this processor is at, so let's take a look at what we have here.
