Along with the better energy efficiency, the new AMD processors all had some decent overclocking headroom. We were mainly pushing the multipliers up for the 'Black Edition' processors, with barely any increase in CPU voltage. Yet we could get up to 700MHz increase over the base frequency. Of course, this was done by turning off Turbo Core, so don't expect to get up to 4.5GHz for example without a more thorough overclocking run.

The Phenom II X6 1100T reached 4.0GHz from its default 3.3GHz, the X6 1075T hit 3.9GHz from its 3.0GHz default, the Phenom II X4 970 hit 4.04GHz from its 3.5GHz default and the Athlon II X4 645 had the lowest amount, going from 3.1GHz to 3.5GHz.
