This baby was born by applying all the tweaks that the Phenom series received to the existing Athlon dual-core architecture. However, compared to the Athlon Kuma, it does not feature L3 cache but has a full 1MB of L2 cache per core instead of 512kB on current Phenom IIs, for a total of 2MB. The other big difference is that it does not features an unlocked multiplier. From now on, the Black Edition versions will be reserved to the Phenom II series. This means there will be no unlocked Athlon II.
