On October 19th, a new revision of the 3.4GHz Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition will become available. The new revision will not have major changes. Most specifications and raw performance will remain the same; however, there are 3 noteworthy improvements.
· TDP = 125W (down from 140W)
· Hardware C1E implemented (faster switching of power states means virtually no impact to performance by power management when BIOS support is properly implemented)
· “Heavy” load support for DDR3-1333 (with proper BIOS implementation, memory controller will now support up to 4x DDR3 DIMMs at 1333MHz)
