TechREACTION.net Blogger and community member, pcc|2iminal, has ran that tests on an engineering sample Phenom II X4 965 BE CPU.  His results are rather surprising given the mild bump in speed and .05 increase in VCore over the similar 955 series chip. You can read his full results in his thread in the TechREACTION forums, [...]

I wish I knew. Don’t we all? These are supposed to be Phenom II X4 chips that have overclocking capabilities that exceed any retail Phenom II part.  Pretty cool, but there are still many unknowns that need to be answered before we can truly start to speculate on the potential of these new chips.  Let’s [...]

It was almost exactly a month ago that I took the Classified and its 965 occupant over the 5GHz mark and under seven minutes in 32M SuperPi. Well today, I took the baby nephew of the 965 – an Intel Core i7 920 – well over 5GHz and even further below seven minutes in 32M [...]

We received our first retail Core i7 920 D0 stepping from our supplier and we have been testing it thoroughly on Asus Rampage2 Gene. Our 1st Core i7 D0 ES sample was really good but not as good as the new retail wich resulted in a final CPU speed of 4.802MHz with only 1.576v and [...]

Just wanted to give you readers a heads up of some of the products I have lined up for review.  This is the Acard ANS-9010 ram drive.  This unit fits in your 5.25 inch CD-Rom bay and requires one only one SATA power cable.   So far the speeds have met and even exceeded Solid [...]

This is a Phenom II 945 from Japan.  The sample I have was sent directly from AMD as a review sample. I had it up to 4090MHz at around 1.44 volts, all done with air.  It seems to be on par with what is achievable with the 955.  Check out the two shots below to [...]
