The AMD Phenom II X4 TWKR edition CPU was one of the most rare CPUs ever made. Only 100 were commisioned. Neoseeker was one of the few websites in the world lucky enough to relieve one for analysis -- Carl Poirier took a look at the rare chip, you can check out the article over here. The CPU is hand-picked to heaven-sent mana for professional overclockers, who using L2N and other exotic cooling, should be able to push the clock frequency as high as around the 7 GHz mark.  

One went up for auction a little while ago, on eBay. It didn't take much time at all for the price to sky-rocket.

Finally, the auction has come to a close. If the bidder is legitimate, the final price tag for this rare piece of silicon will be a whopping $11,600 USD. This could be an all-time record price for a single desktop CPU. 

The money isn't going into the pockets of some lucky hardware reviewer though. The proceeds from the sale are for a good cause: Family Eldercare, an organization that assists the elderly with disabilities, and the people who look after them.
