TweakTown posted a review on the AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4GHz AM3 Processor



While it’s not the runaway success, K10 really is a great value product. It’s a quad core processor with an on-die memory controller that not only supports DDR2, but also DDR3. It’s a perfect bridge processor for AM2+ users who want to keep their current boards and memory, but get a new processor. Phenom II gives you the option of a dual channel DD2 memory controller now with the ability to go to a dual channel DDR3 memory controller by simply putting the processor into an AM3 board with DDR3 memory support, something Intel hasn't bothered to do. It’s DDR3 all the way with them.

Just recently we had a look at the Black Edition 955 Phenom II processor with unlocked multipliers. Today we have been sent AMD's latest addition to its speed bin. Clocking in at 3.4GHz, this processor is the fastest clocked model to come from AMD, even when including the Athlon X2 line. Let's see how well it does.
