AMD Phenom is high-end processor family from Advanced Micro Devices Inc. It includes the Phenom X4 quad-core series, Phenom X3 triple-core series and Phenom X2 dual-core series. The Phenom family is also related to the Athlon 7xxx and Athlon II processors. The first Phenoms were released in November 2007.

Black Edition Phenom processors have unlocked multiplier, which easy to overclock. Some processors also have extra cores which disabled by default but can be unlocked using right motherboard chipset, such as Phenom II X2 550 BE “Callisto” can be unlocked to Phenom II X4 B50 “Deneb”.

This is the list of processors built with Phenom architecture.
