Today at Neoseeker we take a look at an Athlon 64 3800+ based on AMD's Venice core revision which features an updated memory controller as well as SSE3 support. Memory tests yielded some interesting results - they are not strictly improvements from the performance stand point per se. We also threw a bit more juice at the 3800+ and pushed it just a little bit. Here's a clip from the review -

With the Venice 3800+, we were able to stay stable at 2.89 Ghz (241 * 12) with the voltage tweaked to 1.57V in the BIOS (CPU-Z reports it to be 1.55V) so we did not quite manage to break the 3.0 Ghz barrier.
