AMD Phenom II TWKR Black Edition CPU up for auction, sure to fetch a bundle

Remember that AMD Phenom II X4 TWKR processor that we saw overclocked and reviewed just over a fortnight ago? Don’t you recall reading and wondering why you were even wasting your time given the scarcity of said chip? It took awhile, but it seems the justification you’ve been searching for has finally arrived. AMD only manufactured a smattering of these chips in order for select media outlets to showcase the company’s potential, and somehow one has found its way onto eBay. Best of all, 100 percent of the proceeds will benefit a charity (Family Eldercare), so you can feel good about spending way, way too much on a slab of silicon. Tap the read link if you care to drive the price up even further (and you know you do).

[Thanks, Alex]
