The PII 965 BE in my desktop PC certainly agrees with you.


It helps that the Phenom 2 has a 700mhz clock advantage. :)
Otherwise IPC is lower/equivalant to the later model Core 2 Quads.

With that said, overclocking the NB clock can allow a Phenom 2 to switch into another gear, they're so enjoyable to play with.
I still find more joy overclocking and tweaking my AMD rigs over my socket 2011 system which essentially was set-and-forget.
