The number in the name may be the same as the i7 965, but the performance is different. Check it out: http://www.overclock...s/phenomii_965/

Very nice review ajamatson!
Its cheaper than the i7 920 and performs pretty much the same as the i7 965 (in gaming)...
I like it 
But still i think the X4 955 is a better choice (if your on a budget).
The Phenom II X4 955 tied the X4 955 and...

There are many other reviews to look at here.
As for 955 vs. 965, I would grab the 965 anytime. It overclocks much better. I could run some benchmarks at up to 4.2GHz on air, which I could never have done with my 955. (Now do you believe me, IVI ?)
Overall, it will be my CPU of choice for Forum Wars! Let's see up to where I can get it under dry ice!

Yeah but I need the container to bring it back home. That's the problem. Maybe this fall when I get to University I will be able to borrow a dewar from the labs. That's my only hope for now.

Well the local company has free home delivery if u order atleast 25L... I have some big aluminum and stainless steel containers too. Don't have any use of them atm tho. If i get my Phenom II and a LN2 pot then i might try it.

So your sooo rich? I highly doubt it as I see you have Phenom II rig in ur sig. Dont u think saying cheap about a person is a bit offensive and rude?
Idk about Darkfuneral but i defiently do not hate i7 and i do admit that i can't afford it. So what about it?

You may want to consider that you lost something in translation.
Any ideas/predictions what the price will be when the i5 comes out? Does me no good just curious. Cost of being an early adopter.
