because its a black edition. And you dont buy a black edition unless your going to play with the multi... otherwise, buy the cheaper locked dual cores. and With a 2.3ghz phenom dual, matching pretty much a 3.0ghz brizbane, its safe to say that the 6500+ will easily outstrip the 6400+ once the multi is upped a bit.

Its like buying a qx9650 and leaving it at stock multi..and upping the FSB... it makes no sense! a black edition is meant to be OC'd hence the huge tDp.
