Zosma Vs. Deneb

[adam759]

I can not see a big difference or anything that stands out between these to CPU's. The only difference I can see is that one has a Deneb core and one has a Zosma core. The other is one is "faster". So, which one is better? Thanks!

Zosma is a Thuban(Phenom II X6) with 2 cores disabled, has a possibility of unlocking 2 cores, better memory controller, and turbo core. IPC(Instructions Per Clock) are the same so at stock speeds the 965 will be the faster processor. If your overclocking or want to try your luck at unlocking those 2 disabled cores I would take the 960T.

I am not planning on overclocking, so I will go ahead and get the Deneb 965 then. Thanks!

Deneb is a bit faster than thuban and zosma? Am I correct on this one?
