AMD has officially launched its Phenom X4 II 965 Black Edition August 13 last. The biggest concern for this processor was undoubtedly consumption, much too high. Recall that it is clocked at 3.4 GHz with a voltage of 1.4 volts, which ultimately gives a TDP of 140 watts. At the time, this processor was produced was proposed revision C2.

As time passes, the manufacturing process with 45 nanometer SOI GlobalFoundries continues to improve, and today introduced AMD Phenom X4 965 II Black Edition review C3. The tension is reduced, as the TDP, which runs at 125 watts! It should logically allow for greater overclocking than its predecessor.
