At CeBIT 2008 we had a chance to test a Phenom 8600 with the J&W RS780UVD-AM+ board. We could not do an extensive test, but it should give you some impressions.



Overclocking:

As expected, this B2 stepping CPU is running at the same speed as the 9600. While we have a Black Edition which can change the multiplier, overclocking on this Tri-Core is limited. Also the BIOS was still beta, so we could only do overclock with FSB @ 230MHz.
