x3 720 is phenom II 920 BE

[kevnarok]

i just downloaded cpuid hardware monitor, after checked my new x3 720 processor . under cpu it stated " AMD phenom II 920 BE" ya should check it out.

every other software recognized it as x4 20 processor. but what cpuid hardware software stated is rather new.

Not to difficult to figure out - if you've enabled the 4th core, the CPU looks like a "9"-series cpu instead of a "7"-series. Though family/model/stepping should dictate otherwise along with the CPU string.

could it possibly be that the 720be 4core = x4 920 BE phototype ? i got my 4th core unlock and test it at 3.5ghz and do many individual core test and it work just fine. system even rocognize it as a workable core, the only thing is when i used AMD overdrive. after it boost up the multiplier above 16 + over 220 bus the #2 core got black number. #0 work #1 work #2 = 100000 mulitplier #3 work. funny .

i dont think it's a 920 BE with disbaled core. since 920 is only an AM2+ and the 720 is AM3. not so sure on this though. lolz
