Default [AMD/TR] Phenom II 965BE C3 Revision Review
Here are some fresh results/benchies from the new C3 revision of the 965BE. The testing was done by chew*. These look like they have a higher clock potential on all forms of cooling than the current chips. Check it out!

Quote:
The last time I did a major review, it was entitled "955 Unleashed".

This time I would like to introduce AMD's latest flagship processor, the C3 Revision 965 BE.

I made a few changes to the review method. Last time if you recall, I worked strictly in Windows XP, but this time I ran a multitude of benches in both XP and Vista.

I would like to take this time to thank AMD for giving me the oppurtunity once again to review and sample one of their latest and greatest CPU's.

Special thanks also goes out to EnJoY and MSIMAX for taking time out of their schedules to come and bench with me.

That said let me cut the chit chat short and get to the results.


AIR bench configuration
AMD phenom II 965BE C3 ( review sample )
Gigabyte 790 FXT-UD5P
Corsair dominator GT 1866 7-8-7
PC power & cooling 860 + 1200W
Air heatsinks used Xigamtek 1284, True 120, megahalems
2x 4870x2 for 3d, some 2d with a 2600 pro
