So, i'm very interested in the "AMD Athlon II X4 651". It's the a8 3850 (or) a8 3870k with the IGP deactivated. (not sure which one, since the a8 3870k is 3gz, same as the 651).
Being the 960t as the same price of 651, here are the stats.
both priced at 111usd
Athlon II X4 651
3ghz
32 nm
1866 memory controller
fm1 socket
100w
huge l2 cache at 1mb per core, 4mb of l2 cache in total. Though, it has no l3 cache
Phenom ii x4 960t
3ghz
45nm
1333 memory controller
AM3+ socket
95w
only 512kb l2 cache per core but has 6mb l3 of shared cache
So, i'm just wondering if anyone has the 651, i'm REALLY interested in the benchmarks and how far people have OCd it.
I've also heard rumors of the 651 OCing at around 4.3-4.5 on air, seeing as it's 32nm, lower heat because the IGP is deactivated, so that leaves more room for OCing etc.
