Athlon 64 3500+ Venice Core Overclocking Review

Asmoday · May 15, 2005, 12:53 PM

"While the hottest CPU on the planet is the Athlon 64 X2 dual core it is not the only new CPU from AMD. The Athlon 64 has hit another revision with the Venice core at 90nm. It adds SSE3 support, acts better with mismatched memory, and overclocking on it looks to be promising. Today we look at the Athlon 64 3500+ Venice core, and compare it against the 3800+ Venice core, and the Athlon 64 X2 4800+ dual core in performance. Then we run it through the overclocking wringer to see how far we can push it past the default 2.2GHz."

2.7 from 2.2 on stock cooling! very impressive. i had this cpu in mind for my next upgrade, and this article almost made my mind up for me.

I'm just selling off my FX55 and Winchesters (3500 and 3000) while I still can and I'll try out one of these. Heard that the San Diego's are even more impressive though I'm still watching the results on these.
