The Phenom II X4 965 BE is a capable performer able to drop into very affordable Socket AM3 motherboards and deliver exceptional value in almost any discipline. At any other time, that'd be cause for recommendation.
We're less than a month away from Intel's LGA 1156 Core i5/i7 launch, though, and AMD's willingness to discount CPUs and motherboards is perhaps indicative of the potential impact the new platform might have.
