Experience a new world of quad-core computing with the AMD Phenom II X4 965. Every aspect of this processor was designed with speed and energy efficiency in mind. Using the AMD64 Direct Connect Architecture, application performance is dramatically increased while reducing memory latency. The HyperTransport Technology can provide up to 16.0GB/s bandwidth to reduce system bottlenecks and the Balanced Smart Cache ensures quick access times to highly used data.
Energy efficiency is important to AMD, allowing you to enjoy a cool, quiet PC while saving energy and reducing heat, noise and the effect of your computer on the environment. Energy efficiency innovations include Cool’n’Quiet and AMD CoolCore. These technologies reduce power consumption and processor activity.
AMD Phenom II processors also offer support for Virtualization Technology. You can run virtual environments on one system with ease, allowing you to use legacy programs on a separate operating system. Add the convenience and power of multi-core processing and enjoy the benefits of energy efficiency with an AMD Phenom II X4 965 today!

Scott has it almost right
- Pros: As stated earlier this processor is an amazing bang for your buck. Unlocked multiplier, hyper transport 3.0, 45nm design easily over clock able to 4ghz.
- Cons: Scott, you may know a lot but apparently you do not know much about how system bandwidth works, a graphics card will not bottleneck your system. Yeah no duh, a low end graphics will perform horribly. However a processor WILL bottleneck the more powerful cards. Say for instance you put a 4870X2 paired with a Pentium dual core at 3.2 ghz. guess what? You aren't gonna see AS good of quality as you would from a Core 2 Quad or an AMD phenom. The graphics cards these days NEED the processing power to feed your cards that data when running at these high 1920x1080 resolutions and to handle the physics and enemy AI. So please do not go giving advice like that to people, all you are gonna do is make someone who does not know better go out and waste their money on a part that their system can not even take full advantage of. It is more than just gimmicks its decreased die size, its coming up with technologies that reduce data leakage. Giant graphics cards solve nothing without a good cpu.
- Other Thoughts: AMD is so convenient, just think all of you people who bought an AM3 motherboard with this like I did will be able to pop it out in about a year for a six core, Can not just do that on most intel boards since Intel changes their stupid sockets every time someone goes to the bathroom at their company. Another thing to Intel, Real men use REAL cores, no hyper threading here!
Blown Away
- Pros: Wow, I am totally blown away by the performance of this chip. I cannot seem to find ANYTHING that will slow it down. Run the Sims 2, Photoshop, Disk Defrag and surf the internet at the same time (don't ask) - no problem! Multi-tasking is very important to me and the processor handles multiple intense processes very well. I had high-hopes going into this and it has exceeded all my expectations.
It is an EXCELLENT value too! Good job, AMD - I highly recommend this chip to anyone who wants high-performance.
- Cons: Nothing, this chip has been fantastic.

Wow
- Pros: AMD never fails me. I will probably never use an intel chipset after using this power house. Ive tried everything I could to slow it up and it just doesn't happen on Win 7 64bit with 8 gigs ram. Im very impressed and for all you intel fans wisen up and quit throwing away money.
- Cons: None what so ever!
- Other Thoughts: Im blown away by the performance and as stated with a better cooling solution 4Ghz is very possible and stable.
Best AMD Processor at the time
- Pros: Fast: Noticeable upgrade from first-generation AMD dual-core.
Reliable: Working since Novemeber 2009 without a hitch.
- Cons: Price: Expensive when it comes to AMD, a sweet deal compared to Intel. If you want the best, you better be able to pay for it.
- Other Thoughts: System Specs:
-ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AM3 Motherboard
-AMD Phenom II X4 965 AM3 140W
-OCZ Obsidian Series 3x2GB DDR3 1600 RAM
-MSI N250GTS TwinFrozr OC GeForce GTS 250 1 GB 256-bit GDDR3 Video Card
-OCZ Fatal1ty 550W PSU
-2005 Seagate 250 GB HDD (from last system)
-Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
facts only
- Pros: 140 watt processor 3.4Ghz as compared to the new 125 watt processor 3.4Ghz well dono about the 125 watt but for this 140 watt i changed clock to 212x17 to get a clock of 3.604Ghz with out adding any extra voltage and runs stable with stock cooler 8 hours of testing running prime 95 only got up to 54 degrees celcus durning this 8 hours i surffed the web watched a movie and downloaded some huge files for 200 peers never got it to go over 54 degrees Celcus on stock cooler
no fancy case extra fans just standard front 120mm fan and rear 120mm fan inlet back out lit front 100percent all the time for inlit rear controled by mobo along with cpu fan. and 1100 watt PSU fan blowing into the case from top down
- Cons: well i was sure i was going to be able to say power hog but that's not true at system idel any thing besides gaming it auto clocks the multyplyer to 4x and runs cores at 848Mhz drawing only 10-15 watts so DO NOT let the 140 Watt thing make you not get this CPU
- Other Thoughts: outher note when i was downloading 9 1GB plust files from over 300 hosts total and playing my rail road tycoon 3 game it only got up to 2.6Ghz per core dono the wattage use as with it over clocked i cant run the EPU software but i know for a fact it's till under 100 watts. just downloading thoes files and surfing the web it stay's clocked at 848MHz a core drawing 10-15 watts. So for my rating if there were 6 EGGS i would give it 7.
Side note i do have an after market cooler ordered and plan on over clocking to 4GHz as 3.7GHz is as high as i can go before it hit's 60 degrees Celcius and auto Hard Reboots (My over clocking is software provided with my asus motherboard from windows nice thing is that it does not stay over clocked on reboot you haf to set it up every time how ever you can save profiles nice for when it does that so you dont haf to start in safe mode)
