Thread: Latest CPUs Athlon 2X4 635, Athlon2x3 440, Athlon 2X2 255, & Phenom 2X2 555 Black Ed

To kick off the this year, now AMD is extending latest chips for all one of their processor cores. For Deneb AMD extends the Phenom 2 X4 910e. Clocked at 2.6GHz with 4 cores and 6MB of Liii cache, the 910e boasts a TDP of only 65W. This inserts it on adequate footing with less-power Core ii Q8200S and Q8400S central processing units that sell for substantially more than the 910e’s list cost.

For the function-minded gamer or OC’er on a budget, Callisto arrives returns from the dead with the introduction of the Phenom 2 X2 555 Black Version. The 555 function at 3.2GHz, 100MHz quicker than the discontinued 550, with 2 cores and 6MB of L3 cache.

Excellent component of entire is that it is based on AMD’s fresh C3 revision, this is the stepping that permitted us to crank the Phenom 2 X4 965 beyond 4GHz when OC’ing. And of course, as a Black Version central processing unit, the 555 ships with an unlocked clock multiplier.

Need more than 2 cores? Excellent. AMD’s bumped Propus up to 2.9GHz with the Athlon 2 X4 635. The chip deficiency an L3 cache, trusting on 2MB of L2 rather.



Here are the velocities and fulfills of entire the central processing unit AMD is establishing now in a good, handy chart: 100MHz velocity bumps across the board for entire of the central processing unit AMD is establishing now. And as an included bonus, AMD is not charging a premium for these central processing units – list costs are fairly much in line with AMD’s existing costs.

So you are paying the similar amount of money, but acquiring an additional 100MHz.Frankly we were closely surprised through the re-emergence of the Phenom 2 X2 555 Black Version, as AMD discontinued its predecessor, the X2 550, as good as its triple-core cousin, the Phenom 2 X3 720 previous decrease.

The beauty of these central processing units is that they are founded on the similar core AMD utilizes in their flagship Phenom 2 X4 965 central processing unit. As a solution, the 555’s acquire a big L3 cache, increasing its function, and few enthusiasts have been lucky sufficient to reactivate the 2 cores AMD disables at the factory on these chips.

The arrival of quicker Athlon 2 central processing units means you can pick up existing central processing units on the cheap. For example, the Athlon 2 X4 630 drops in cost as a solution of recent central processing unit introductions.
