San Diego OC as good as Venice?

Maybe not as good?

Since San has 1 MB cache......then.....will it affect the OC ability?

I only have seen Venice review (it OC good but not sure about San Diego)

it's supposed to be good. Initial reports are showing mediocrity on the venice cores.

~2.7 GHz is the lowest SD OC I've seen reported so far. Venice so far seems to be good for a 2.5-ish minimum OC expectancy. You might get more, you might not.

quite the opposite, SD seems to be clocking better. Mine comes in next week, cant wait.

I have heard lots of ppl said Venice can reach 3.0 ghz stable but San Diego can't do that. Is that true?

Iv heard San Diego was a better OC cpu...

People haven't been getting 3.0ghz with Venice on air. You need some special cooling for 3.0

Don't base it on reviewed samples since they're hand picked. Look how many review sites got LBBLE and ABBLE Venice chips that hit 2.8 easily. Seems like the majority of us who bought a Venice got a CBBLE which struggles to hit 2.6 GHz.

I have no complaints with mine. (I might be the first in Sonoma County to get the 3700+ - none of the shops have anything yet). I just :heart: this thing. OK, I'm not getting 2.8 GHz on air, but 2.7 rock-solid is still a pretty nice neighborhood. It takes a little work.
