Venice REVE4 vs E3

[firewolfsm]

I expected some threads about this to come up.

People say this will limit OCs, but now the venice and sandiego are the same except for the cache, shouldn't this mean that the venices should hit higher clocks (FX-57)? also, these chips seem more expensive at current vendors (15-20 +), is this just because they are new, or will they stablize at higher prices than the E3s?

anyone?

I'd think if they were the same steppings used as Sandies or Opties, then they'd overclock better.

My Opteron is a E4

they're also going to be speed-binned a lot tighter, which is the primary reason people are not expecting them to OC well

That stinks if that's the case.
