p35 vs p965

I've been looking around to see if I could find a site that has compared the newer chipset with the older p965 one but haven't found one yet. Curious to see what the difference in performance and features between the two is. Can anyone help?
 
Would recommend the P35:

Some will say this is the result of the fact that P35 is just a mild upgrade of P965, fixing what is wrong with that chipset. We don't agree, since features like 1333 processor bus and support for DDR3 memory to 1333 speed and beyond are significant additions that definitely impact performance. Also significant is full support for the upcoming 45nm Penryn processors. As you have seen in the P35 benchmarks these are not just minor "fixes" - they are features that have a significant impact in improving system performance. No doubt Intel did tweak the base P965 code in the process, and we are grateful for that, but P35 introduces too much new that improves performance to just be considered a respin.
