Thread: AMD Athlon II X4 620 Processor

Competition as they say brings out the best in people and it surely has as far as AMD is concerned. With the newly launched and refreshed Athlon II X4 620 AMD's budget CPUs are finally making a comeback. With the Athlon X4 620 you can now own a quad core processor that will deliver performance close to Intel's Core 2 Quad Q8200 and that too for a much lesser price. Speaking about price the Athlon II X4 620 is not only the cheapest quad core in the market but it also beats Intel's dual core processors. The Athlon II X4 620 handled most real world tests with ease but the place where it showed absolute performance was in the video encoding test. A mere 27 seconds to encode a 1 minute MPG file to AVI. That's faster than most Phenom's as well as Intel's Q8200. SO if you are planning to build a new rig then the Athlon II X4 620 will not disappoint.
