Thread: AMD Phenom II and Athlon II operation

AMD is starting a gathering of new CPU today targeted square at budget witting consumers appearing to save a some charges on the their next computer make. The new CPUs differ from previous givings in their several product families in terms of frequency and of course their model names but all are based on living architectures and technology.

We determined to bring the 3.2GHz Phenom II X2 555 and 2.9GHz Athlon II X4 635 for a twist and have their performance effects mailed on the pages ahead. Earlier we acquire to the numbers although take a instant to examine The Phenom II X2 555's and Athlon II X4 635's stipulations in table below.

The expressed AMD fans between you will observe that the two CPUs we've preferred to test here are the quickest of their several product families 3.2GHz for the Phenom II X2 and 2.9GHz for the Athlon II X4. As we've observed although not much else has changed over former offerings than clock speed.

We won't detail the Phenom II and Athlon II structures again here and will rather provide up this functioning immediate accept. If you would like a course however as to what creates the Phenom II and Athlon II tick here are a couple of late articles with all of the apposite details.

We initial recruited their several system BIOS es and arrange all board to its behaved or High performance Defaults. We then saved the positions figure the BIOS and arrange memory timings for DDR3-1333 with 8,8,8,24 timings. The hard drives were then formatted and Windows 7 Ultimate x64 was installed.

When the Windows installation was staring we updated the OS and installed the driver’s requirement for our elements. Auto-Updating and Windows Defender were then disenabled and we installed all of our benchmarking software executed a disk clean-up defragged the hard drives and ran every of the trials.
