From the reviews I've been seeing lately, those tri-core phenoms offer some serious performance.

And of course, credit goes to the ones who found and posted those reviews in the first place.

Depends what your doing really... gaming stick with the faster dual, if you want a overall faster desktop/application experience go with the tri-core.

Also there's this black edition tri core that doesn't cost that much over the 8450:

with a decent cooler people overclock it to 2.6ghz+
its comes with no hsf btw, but you should be able to use your old hsf.

I've heard so much talk about the SB750, but I have yet to see any results that back up the rumors.


I know some guy in another thread couldn't get his 9950BE over 2.8GHz on the SB750.



Has anybody seen any reviews on this chipset yet?
I check the hardware news section often, but maybe I missed something.
