I still dont believe in a L3. It simply makes no sense when looking on the size and past history. Itanium only got a L3 due to the massive sizes of up to 24MB and soon 30MB. And I dont think anyone here on the board got access to a nehalem system, nor will have it for the next 3-6 months.
L3 is a step backwards for mainstream, not upwards.
edit: i want this model to buy (x4 945 or x4 955, 945 will be too BE??)

niw only Phenom X4 965 C3 coming soon -next week!(16.11.-21.11.)
1) Normal ES: Available to partners and press before the product actually launches. These are usually close to retail parts, maybe one stepping/node before retails. From my experience (I've had access to AMD & Intel ES CPUs before the official launch around 8 years) normal ES CPUs are actually usually worse than retails because manufacturing process develops all the time and retails keep getting better. Every Phenom II press sample (not even marked as ES but couple weeks earlier than retail parts) I've tested so far have been worse than normal retails.
Now that I see this, isnt the 720 also recognized as 1.25 on the Gigabyte mobo at least? Mine is, in fact I can go up to 3.2 or 3.4, dont recall now, at 1.25v.
I thought that was the stock voltage...

An ES chip huh which is 3.2 Ghz at birth may bear a FX logo on the box.
What ever the case the fact that it can reach almost 4Ghz with a TT Big Typhoon is quite impressive to say the least and we need something like this to counter the new stepping of the i7 920. "Ya ya i know PhII= C2Q & != i7"

It has an unlocked multi......It can be set at any speed....preety sure it defaults at 2.4 not 3.2

I think I even tossed that on some 754 chips at one point......before that was 462 and my thermalright and alpha pal......alpha pal was better at not chipping cores. That and the home made waterchiller.

Well the fact that its total cache is 8MB on top of that it is DDR3 on top of that its AM3 and if it was 2.4Ghz "Really" it would have already launched as a part of the PhII 8xx range.
Also the voltage seems to be very good for a low end 2.4Ghz part.

Lifes more fun at -190C
