AMD - Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition

amd vs intel!!!!!! isnt crazyyyyyy!!!. The Intel Core i7 processor may be priced high enough to be beyond the reach of most PC users, but the platform has helped to bring down the price of DDR3 memory from ludicrous levels to a cost-per-gigabyte that's on par with good quality DDR2.

now look This also makes AMD's socket AM3 platform a far more tempting buy, since for the price of an Intel i7 920 with a motherboard you can buy the fastest quad-core Phenom II, plus a top-notch board as well as the necessary RAM.

and thats all Here we are looking at AMD's new flagship, the Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition. Built with the same manufacturing process as its 955 predecessor, the chip is architecturally identical to other 45nm Phenom II X4 chips but its clock frequency has been upped to 3.4GHz. This means it has 2MB of L2 cache, 6MB of unified L3 cache and a memory controller compatible with both AM3 (DDR3) and AM2+ (DDR2) motherboards.
