found yale's review unhelpful
new pro/con: This processor is based off the k10 phenoms. It is actual a x4 with two cores turned off. You can there for OVERCLOCK this proc. faster than a quad core.
agreed: "fast speed"
agreed: "affordable price"
agreed: "dual core is all you generally need these days - very few applications are written to take full advantage of any more"
disagreed: "cannot be overclocked as high as AMD's top-of-the-line quadcore options"
disagreed: "requires an AM2+ motherboard, regular AM2 users might not be able to take full advantage of this chip"
disagreed: "high TDP - although fair, matches last generation while outperforming"

"Your review of the AMD 7750 is wrong. The TDP is 95 watts for the x4, x3, and x2.... HMMMMMM lets think about this for a second... They all have the same architecture, but different number of cores. Gee, maybe when you get the dual core you will realize that it doesn't come close to 95 watts because it is actually and x4 processor, but it has half it's cores shut off. And now for your ignorant over clocking comment.... The dual core will put out less head than the quad running at the same speed, thus you can increase the voltage and therefore the clock speed. This is why the dual cores run at 2.7 GHz while the top quad core is at 2.6 GHz."
