Introducing the Phenom II 42 TWKR Black Edition
While I thought we would not see another processor launch from AMD very soon, this information appears on the Internet. Apparently, an early sample has been provided to Wallace Santos, Maingear PC founder and CEO.
But what do TWKR stands for? For now, the most probable guess would be "Tweaker". Let's hope Mr. Santos will soon post some results so we can know what it is all about!

Im assuming that theyll just be very highly binned versions of already available phenom IIs so that they will give the best overclocking potential.
