Athlon II X2 245 - 2,9 GHz, cache L2 2 MB, socket AM3 Reviews

Today, AMD is announcing not one, but two new exciting 45nm dual-cores! First, they are introducing the first-ever Athlon II processor. To top that off they are releasing a Phenom II X2 550 Processor that runs at 3.1GHz with a massive 6MB of shared L3 ...

The AMD Athlon II X2 250 and Phenom II X2 550 are two 45nm dual-core processors that pack a powerful punch for those looking for a mainstream PC

The latest CPUs from AMD are "cacheless" quad cores. Well, technically they still have the highly important L1 and L2 caches in each core, but instead lose the uniform L3 cache that sits in the CPU "uncore" area, along with the memory controller

We really find it difficult to recommend the Athlon II X4 to anyone because it has very few redeeming features. Its very high power use for the minimal transistor count is strange and confusing: why is there the need to throw at hefty 1.4V through the ...

AMD recently introduced two 45nm dual-core processors, the Athlon II X2 250 and the Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition. Both deliver impressive performance at a great value. The 3.1GHz Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition is positioned as AMD's fastest dual ...

AMD already has similarly-clocked Athlon X2 processors in its line-up, but the current crop of chips use more power and are built using a 65nm process, which makes them more expensive to produce. The Athlon II X2 250's native dual-core design and 45nm ...
