Thread: The Athlon X4 II will reach the 3 GHz

The Athlon X4 II CPU is a superb entry-level and AMD ought to make it evolve this year, with a passage in excess of the 3 GHz, a frequency that the earliest Phenom never achieved. The Athlon X4 II 640 (3 GHz) as well as 645 (3.1 GHz) should exit at the second as well as third quarter 2010, with the similar design architecture as the present models: not like the Athlon X2 II with a specific core (with 1 MB of L2 cache), the Athlon X4 II are awfully close to the Phenom II, the L3 cache and less. It was therefore an AM3 CPU, memory controller with DDR2 as well as DDR3, including an L2 cache of 512 KB for each core along with four cores. With a TDP of 45W or else 95W, the Athlon X4 II formally makes use of a die that does not actually of L3 cache, but informally, similar models includes a defective cache disabled or who might (sometimes) be reactivated.

Remains to be seen what will these CPU address and other Core Pentium i3 "Nehalem" most likely to go up in frequency.
