Athlon 64 3500+ Venice Core Overclocking Review @ AMD Zone

“While the hottest CPU on the planet is the Athlon 64 X2 dual core it is not the only new CPU from AMD. The Athlon 64 has hit another revision with the Venice core at 90nm. It adds SSE3 support, acts better with mismatched memory, and overclocking on it looks to be promising. Today we look at the Athlon 64 3500+ Venice core, and compare it against the 3800+ Venice core, and the Athlon 64 X2 4800+ dual core in performance. Then we run it through the overclocking wringer to see how far we can push it past the default 2.2GHz.”

This proves to be a great overclocking CPU, hitting 2.75GHz without extreme effort, and it keeps very decent temps! Read all about it at AMD Zone.
