    Is it just me or I thought all Phenom II x4 945 has been 95W (at least based on the roadmap)?

    it's always been 125w, but i'm glad to see that there is no price difference. yet.

    so i guess the people saying those highend p2 chips running notably cooler than specced were right and the 125W specced parts were more like 105W or so and they managed to bring down tdp for at least some parts...

    945 3.0 95W
    955 3.2 125W
    965 3.4 140W

    mhhh seems like tdp goes way up above 3ghz though...
    maybe they are trying to get tdp down to have a 125W 965?

    965 never was and never will be 140W TDP.

    As far as the 945 goes, i would take a guess and say in real world it consumes about 10W less at load then a "125W equivailent" :p

    This looks interesting.

    965BE
    http://www.shopblt.com/cgi-bin/shop/...er_id=!ORDERID!

    945 95w
    http://www.shopblt.com/cgi-bin/shop/...er_id=!ORDERID!

    it shows a crap load of 965BE coming on the July 24. amd 945 95w on the 29th.

    This site has been wrong a lot of times as far as ETA goes but you never know. Probably crap?

    Besides, they claim 140 W for the 965?

    I thought 965 was 140w?? What's is supposed to be? 125w?
    I thought AMD ditched that idea>>>

    It's not a BE with unlocked multipliers? If not, meh. Still a very good power rating though. Leaps and bounds better than my Phenom II 940 hehe.

    As far as I know it's 125w, and I don't know the Guru3D doesn't list any sources.

    well since the HW inventory list says 140w and guru says 140w. I think its safe to say its 140w.

    Is this cpu a new stepping or just a better bin? I see this new chip on newegg but not the 965, when is the 965 supposed to be available?

    so many people seem to have forgotten this.

    As far as I know it's a 125 TDP part, that's what is said by most sites I just Googled through in about 5 minutes. Including this one: http://www.salland.eu/?pid=188500&ref=2

    I dont know about you but I dont give a crap if its 140 or 125 or 95w as long as it overclocks well, who gives a crap!!?? Energy efficiency is the last thing I'm concerned with when I'm overclocking.
    is this xtremesystems or energyefficientsystems?

    I'd say you should give a crap is you only care about overclocking, since a lower TDP rating also means you have to cool less and this may give you some extra headroom. Though in this case the lower TDP rating is more of an indication that AMD's manufacturing process in improving.

    Yeah maybe at stock voltage. all that goes right out the window when you start bumping vcore.
    have to Cool less? in my experience these low wattage chips get so much hotter when you add voltage. It seems they get more efficient and run cool at stock volts but the slightest bump in vcore and they sizzle.

    The TDP ratings of 965 is still 125W TDP I promise

    This is probably just CTI and/or STT at work.

    Exclamation

    Here's my experience with 95W X4 945:

    Default voltage (VID) and temps @ idle (inside case, under Xigmatek 1284 LowRPM with ~28 C ambient)

    Required voltage for primable 3.6GHz under 64-bitnom Vista Ultimate

    Yeah you need to O'Ced this baby via HTT, but that doesn't matter even if you forget to lower HyperTransport multi


    all this on ASUS M3A79-T and BallistiX DDR2-800... maybe some good AM3 mobo can pull out even more from this CPU under these voltages, but I'm happy with "975-alike" clocks @ 1.35V
