  In multi-threaded video encoding scenarios, the Pentium Extreme Edition 965 trades blows with the Athlon 64 FX-60, but the FX-60 remains the faster of the two on aggregate. In single threaded tests, it performs similarly to the Prescott based Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.73GHz. It's no slough, in that respect, but it's not as fast as AMD's single or dual core processors that have a much higher instruction per clock count.

  Our Intel 955 overclocked to 4.76GHz, while the Intle 965 made it to 4.80GHz. Is it worth the extra money for a 965 when the overclocking results are so close to the same? That is a call our readers have to make, but to us the answer is clear. With these processors overclocking so well I wouldn't be suprised if Intel released the Intel 975 clocked at 4GHz. Intel once said they would hit 4GHz in 04, but it looks like 2006 is going to be the that they can do it and hit good yields.
