With 8MB cache? I wonder how much faster this could be compared to the 940BE with 6MB cache. Maybe the uncore will be faster andnot just larger too?

6MB L3 + 2MB L2...its a 940 plus a speed bin with the AM3 socket/DDR3 controller.

I see. Same cache amount then. Just faster GHz.

Probably won't be much better than a 940.

The only thing most people here will care about is if this has a higher OC ceiling compared to the other PhIIs; this remains to be seen. If this is the case, might be a good chip for high-end air or water cooling setups. I am definitely looking forward to either a good review or some experiences here from owners...

That'd be my guess, that it's just set with a higher speed coming out the door from AMD. My chip is pretty happy up to ~3.4GHz on stock voltage.

Those Phenom X2s look... interesting. I wonder how they perform with all of that L3 cache.

That's pretty nice. How high can you go if you push the voltage?
