Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition

AMD is launching a brand new flagship desktop processor today, dubbed the Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition. As you can probably surmise from its name--if you're familiar with AMD's naming convention--the Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition is virtually identical to the 955 it supplants at the top of AMD's desktop processor line-up, save for the 965's higher default clock speed. Whereas the 955 clocked in at a speedy 3.2GHz, the new 965 arrives at a lofty 3.4GHz, making it the highest clocked CPU to come from AMD to date.

The Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition is based on the same core as all current socket AM3, quad-core Phenom II processors and it as the same cache configuration and overall feature set. There are some slight differences to its specifications, however, which we have listed for you below. The 965 BE's differentiating features are, as we've mentioned, it's higher frequency of 3.4GHz and also its higher maximum TDP of 140W. Please take note of the higher TDP, as not all socket AM2+/AM3 motherboards will support it.

Once you're done taking a gander at the specifications below, check out some related articles and hunker down for some testing and benchmarks as we find out what AMD's new Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition is made of...

The new Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition is an update to AMD's Dragon Platform. The Dragon Platform itself is not new, however. In fact, most of its core components have already been available for quite some time now. As such, we have already covered them in-depth here on HotHardware in previous articles, so we won't do the same again here. We will, however, recommend that you take a look at a few recent articles to get familiar with the underlying technology and components that comprise AMD's Dragon platform.

ASUS N 50Vn-B1B Laptop

Summary – The dream of computer and laptop designers all over the world to design laptop replacing the home desktop pc has come thru with the ASUS N 50Vn-B1B laptop.  The lap top provides something for every one in the family and may well become the trend for the future.  While it lacks in a few areas in comparison to compatriots, it more than makes up the deficiencies with superiority in other spheres.

Manufacturers and designers were having a vision of a complete all purpose replacement for your desktop PC for quite some times.  However it has been ASUS N 50Vn-B1B laptop that has fulfilled the dream.  No wonder that the new lap top has all the ingredients and characteristics to replace your old desktop family PC and fill out the slot.

Whatever might be the purpose for your use of the PC, family photos, videos, or for any other purpose like managing various software applications, the lap top is suitable for all your purpose.  It can even be the manager of your home budget.  Multitasking operators will find the ASUS N 50Vn-B1B laptop especially suitable for their purposes.

The lap top also provides something for every member of your family.  Kids can play the latest video games whereas your spouse can enjoy latest video and music.  You can enjoy very high quality movies or graphics with the superb Nvidia graphics card. The best news for you is that the price is quite affordable despite all these features at around $1,250.  ASUS N 50Vn-B1B laptop is meant to be affordable and user friendly.  It won’t bleed you white financially.

When it comes to attractive appearance, ASUS has taken adequate care of the product.  The glossy brown finish does not glow with bright colors.  Yet the simple and homely design has something that is the current trend.  It may not be the first thing that you will notice in either someone’s living or office room.  Yet it has its own appeal for the customer who does no prefer trade off between glamour and quality.  The ASUS N 50Vn-B1B laptop has close proximity to HP HDX16t and embeds suitable patterns under hard lamination.

Have a close look at the lap top and you will discover raining-dot patterns.  These are something that will remind you of the data streams in movies such as “The Matrix”. Of course many would like the aluminum Apple MacBook Pro 15 inches with Dual Graphics or that of the metal and leather mounted Dell Studio XPS 16 for their appearances.  The ASUS N 50Vn-B1B laptop at 6.7 pounds is not as light as the Sony VAIO VGN-FW198UH which comes to 6.4 pounds.  It is lighter than the HDX16t that comes to 6.9 pounds. The lap top is a balance between ideal light travel and heavy burdensome luggage.

ASUS N 50Vn-B1B laptop provides you with a 15.4 inch screen following the traditional format of the 16.10 inch widescreen.  It may not be as facile as the 16.9 is format now becoming popular and found in the widescreen HDTV or found in most of the new lap top models.  They are quite prominent in the Dell Studio XPS 16, HP HDX16t, as well as the Acer 6930G-6723.

However the N50Vn-B1B screen is no way less competent in comparison to others.  Watching the images on the screen is a pleasant experience. The reason is that departing from the tradition it uses 1,440 X 900 pixels resolution standards. Such resolution is sufficient for even the professional and most avid multitasking operators. Of course the ASUS N 50Vn-B1B laptop still falls short of the HP HDX16t with 1,920 X 1080 resolutions.

The full size keyboard with numeric keypad is great for all those number crunchers that require them for upcoming tax seasons mostly. ASUS N 50Vn-B1B laptop has a numeric keypad half the normal size.  However it gives you better comfort and the responsive capabilities of the keypad is really great.  Mouse buttons are large and they are also raised.  They are not flush with the touchpad.  Overall the structure is highly ergonomic for you.  They are efficient and the only slight irritation you might have is due to the loud clicks caused by keystrokes.

Family PC is meant to satisfy all members of the family and should contain something for everyone.  Features of the ASUS N 50Vn-B1B laptop do fulfill all these requirements effectively.  You have three USB ports that are spread from right to left of the machine.  A FireWire port helps compatibility of storage devices. MiniDV camcorder also can be attached to it.  At his price range, the 320GB Hard Disk is a bonus.  Yet those who require still more space, the eSATA port is provided so that you can add external storage. It is located conveniently on the front bezel.

HDMI port is another welcome feature in this laptop just as in the HP HDX16t, Dell Studio XPS 16 and the Acer 6930G-6723.  It helps the steaming of videos for larger displays. You can use the LCD TV for convenience.  Standard Webcam and the Fingerprint reader are all there.  The fingerprint reader is wedged between the mouse buttons of the ASUS N 50Vn-B1B laptop.

2.4-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 that is used in the ASUS N 50Vn-B1B laptop is fast and at the same time energy efficient.  The designers perhaps did not think of anything faster considering the adverse affects that could have on the battery life. One of the shortcomings of this laptop is that its 6-cell 51Wh battery is just the average in the market without much accelerating capacities.  It completed 3 hours on the MobileMark 2007.  However it was not much behind the HP HDX16t, Acer 6930G or the XPS 16.  The only difference in battery life was when XPS 16 used its feature of adding a second battery with 85 Wh capacities.  The score was four hours and twenty minutes and higher by an hour and twenty minutes to the scores registered by the ASUS N 50Vn-B1B laptop.

In terms of the memory powers the ASUS N 50Vn-B1B laptop faired better in comparison to Dell Studio XPS 16 by nearly 5 seconds when put to the video encoding test.  This however is not a significant difference.  The performance of the HP HDX16t was far better.  But the reason is that it uses the fastest of the Intel Core 2 Duo processors.

On the other hand the performance of ASUS N 50Vn-B1B laptop in graphics was far superior to others with the Nvidia GeForce 9650M GT graphics card.  Very few cards have such huge 1GB memory like this card.  In result the N 50Vn-B1B beat both Dell XPS 16 and HP HDX16t when put to the 3DMark06 tests. Of course the other two have higher native resolutions especially suitable for frame sites.  Yet on each and every benchmark tests, the ASUS N 50Vn-B1B laptop performed exceptionally well.

Balanced combination of high quality parts, excellent features, and affordable price makes the ASUS N 50Vn-B1B laptop one of the nicest of the family PCs.  In comparison the prices of both Dell Studio XPS16 and the HP HDX16t are considerably higher.  The reasons are that their branding and the trendier designs cost more money.  Despite its down to earth appearance, the high performances and overall suitability of the ASUS N 50Vn-B1B laptop makes it a favorite to become the choicest replacement for the home desktop PCs.
