Amd X2 65w?

[zanatos]

I was searching amd's am2 x2 processors, and found out that theres a x2 3800 (reg) and a x2 3800 (65w). The 65w version is more expensive. What exactly is the difference?

The 65W is the TDP, Thermal Design Power. Basically the 65W version runs cooler than the "default" CPU's.

According to Toms Hardware Guide it benchmarks exactly like the regular X2 3800.

They aren't trying to scam you. They didn't say it would perform better they said it would draw less power and produce less heat.
