AMD Phenom II X4 B55 3,291
AMD Phenom II X4 B60 3,991
AMD Phenom II X4 B65 4,205
As far as I know, the CPU with higher Bxx number would have the faster stock frequency. But the passmark rating doesn't seem to follow it, especially B55 (3.2Ghz if unlocked from Phenom II X2) has the lowest mark, and B35 has a higher mark than B40, B45 and B55.
Can anyone explain this?

Could this have anything to do with possible L3 Cache?















i had looked at unlocking it previously however the board that i previously used didn't acknowledge the existence of ACC so i couldnt
OC'd from 3.0 to 3.6GHz @ 1.4v and all is well
