Opteron 165 Toledo Core Overclocking With High End Air

Sidney · 10th November 2005, 14:35

During the Summer the Athlon 64 Venice and San Diego cores were the overclocking rage, and we tested several with excellent results. Now Fall is upon us, and something strange has happened. An Opteron has started taking all the overclocking limelight. This is no normal Opteron after all however. This is a Socket 939 Opteron meant for workstations, but of course compatible with Socket 939 motherboards, and sporting a full 1MB of L2 cache whether single or dual core. Eager to see what these CPUs could do performance wise and overclocking we picked up the Opteron 165 you see pictured above, and quickly got to overclocking.

It will only make sense that X2 3800+ will be priced lower than Opteron 165.

May be we will see $240 X2 3800+ soon enough??

Who wants a 512KB CPU?

I just hat that the DC Opterons supply is short worldwide.
