4Gamers has done up some quick tests on the Athlon 64 X2 5000+ "Black Edition" released just over last weekend in Japan. It is based on 65nm Brisbane core, clocked in at 2.6Ghz at 13x multiplier, 2x512KB L2 cache and 65W TDP. The good thing is that the multiplier is unlocked so overclocking is made easy. The tests revealed that the multiplier can be increased to 15x using CrystalCPUID and the 3DMark06 performance is close to a Athlon 64 X2 6000+ running at 3GHz. Pricing is at US$ 136.
