AMD Phenom II X4 965 in the pipeline

This actually is not a new rumor as we talked about a Phenom II X4 965 processor in the past already. But it seems that AMD's yields on Phenom II are really good, very soon they will be launching a 3.4 GHz model of the AMD Phenom II X4 965 processor. This might actually happen within the next two weeks.

The processor would get a multiplier of 17. At 3.4 GHz it would be a good chunk faster, well 200 MHz, faster than the current flagship, the Phenom II 955.

If the new processor will be a black edition (unlocked multiplier) remains to be seen, but logic dictates it will be the case. You can again expect a 2MB L2 cache, 6MB shared L3 cache and a very likely TDP at 125 Watt.

Rumored is that the Phenom II X4 965 will be launched along with the 785 chipset with Socket AM3. We expect this new processor to be priced fair again, at 249 USD.
