X3 - 3 Cores.

X4 - 4 Cores.]]>May 4th 2010 7:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/acer-aspire-5551g-5553g-and-7551g-keep-the-phenom-ii-x3-and-x4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/acer-aspire-5551g-5553g-and-7551g-keep-the-phenom-ii-x3-and-x4/May 4th 2010 7:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/acer-aspire-5551g-5553g-and-7551g-keep-the-phenom-ii-x3-and-x4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/acer-aspire-5551g-5553g-and-7551g-keep-the-phenom-ii-x3-and-x4/
The x3s are just X4s that aren't fully functional, usually they're on the edge of the wafer, or one core can't quite handle the voltage or whatnot. Then they disable it, and sell it for cheaper]]>May 4th 2010 7:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/acer-aspire-5551g-5553g-and-7551g-keep-the-phenom-ii-x3-and-x4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/acer-aspire-5551g-5553g-and-7551g-keep-the-phenom-ii-x3-and-x4/May 4th 2010 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/acer-aspire-5551g-5553g-and-7551g-keep-the-phenom-ii-x3-and-x4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/acer-aspire-5551g-5553g-and-7551g-keep-the-phenom-ii-x3-and-x4/May 4th 2010 9:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/acer-aspire-5551g-5553g-and-7551g-keep-the-phenom-ii-x3-and-x4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/acer-aspire-5551g-5553g-and-7551g-keep-the-phenom-ii-x3-and-x4/May 5th 2010 1:38AM
