The AMD Phenom 2 X4 965 black edition is an amazing processor, i m using it with corsair 4gb 1600mhz ram and it gives a satisfactory performance. It is way cheaper than any Intel processor and outperforms its intel counterparts.

There is one issue though.....It requires more wattage and gets heated up........so in case u don't have a good chassis and smps then go for intel.

This processor will generally outperform the intel CPUs sold at this price point. Downside is that the architechture is not as efficient as intels' second generation core i3/i5's and hence this consumes more power which is shown by its TDP of 125 watts. If you want to play the latest games and are wondering if this is right... then yes, this thing can play the games like crysis 2 without a hiccup (obviously you need to pair it with a capable graphics card). I would rate this a better buy than...

If u want to feel like u are listening to F1 racing all the time, then i suggest you get this processor. Guess what, i bought this processor since its cheap and promised great performance. And, i agree its pretty fast, but would you buy a washing machine instead of a processor just because it's fast. Initially i bought a normal mercury SMPS and case, which failed in 2 days. Why? The SMPS could not handle the heat. Then i spent an extra 5K on buying a Cooler Master cabinet and SMPS. But still,...

This is a good CPU..
Rates 7.4/7.9 in computer language on win 7 professional...

and i m agree with yogesh, needs good cooling and power
probably coolermaster is good choice for both case and smps as i did!!

I firstly have to praise Flipkart team for the fast delivery and superb packaging.This processor seems to be a value for money product.Nice performance at its price.

CON: Beware this processor's stock fan is very noisy(mini jet engine). Hope this is just in my case but I have seen a lot of complaints about its noise on the net.

All you people who are recommending this processor, just Shut Up...
960 Be is cheaper than it and has a 95 tdp. Also it can be easily overclocked like this one to 4 ghz so why choose this one when it is costlier and uses more power?????
