AMD releases its Athlon II X4 635 processor to the market with some interesting over-clocking capabilities.
Today we are looking at the AMD Athlon II X4 635 AM3 Processor. This processor supports AMD's 45nm technology, whilst operating at 95watts.
The AMD Athlon II X4 640 is the fastest quad-core processor in the Athlon II series with its overall clock frequency of 3.0GHz. With a street price of $122 and just a 100MHz boost over its predecessor is the Athlon II X4 640 worth it? Read on to see how it performs in the benchmarks and to see how it handles being overclocked on our AMD 890GX test system.
Today AMD is announcing six new processors to the existing AMD Athlon II processor lineup. At first glance all these budget processor models look like simple speed bumps over their predecessors, but there is a little more to it than just that. First, AMD is holding the price point on ALL top Athlon II processors. Second, all these new processors are revision C3 silicon.
Today we're going to focus on AMD's Athlon II X4 series that offers some very nice, affordable processors, no matter what kind of graphics you prefer: integrated or discrete.
In an effort to make the CPU part of the decision a bit easier, AMD offers a broad selection of CPUs, most in the sub-$200 range. Clocking in at $119 MSRP, the Athlon II X4 645 promises an improvement on the already solid performance of the X4 640, at a price just over half of Intel's nearest equivalent, the i5 750. Stick with us while we put this pony through its paces.
PCSTATS is testing AMD's latest mainstream quad-core chip, the 3.1GHz Athlon II X4 645 processor. Architecturally speaking the Athlon II X4 645 is identical to the preceding Athlon II X4 635 model, except for a modest clock speed increase. If you're familiar with the preceding few Athlon II X4 6-series CPUs you'll know what to expect so jump ahead to the overclocking results and benchmark tables. Bringing the AII X4's four cores past the 3GHz threshold affords incremental gains of course, and the Athlon II X4 continues to be an ideal CPU for media PCs, particularly when paired an AMD 890GX motherboard.
AMD Phenom II X4 970 needs just a bit more to equalize the Phenom II X4 and Core i5-700 series in rights. Both product lines offer solutions that currently give you most performance for your money. Of the rest, Phenom II X6 1055T may be the least obvious choice. Subjectively, an unlocked Phenom II X6 1075T seems a better variant. Of course, if your tasks are well-parallelized.
There has been a steady stream of processor releases from AMD in recent times. Whether it is revisions of triple and quad core models or the addition of DDR3 parts to the product line there has always been something new to look at regularly. Two weeks ago we took a look at the latest high end Phenom 2, the 955 (Read The Review) and now AMD have another release for us to cover. The Athlon X2 7850 Black Edition.
In addition to this the past week has also seen the release of the Radeon 4770, AMD’s first card to use a 40nm GPU and we have two of these models on our test bench.
Last week's launch of the Phenom II X4 955 was a big win with the enthusiast crowd. This week, however, it looks like AMD has shifted focused to the mainstream market. Not only is the highly anticipated Radeon HD 4770 launching today, but also a new dual core Black Edition processor: the Athlon X2 7850 AD785ZWCGHBOX. Based on the updated K10 Kuma architecture, the 2.8GHz X2 7850 is poised to take over as AMD's flagship dual core processor. At only $69 USD, it's also shaping up to be quite a bargain. Benchmark Reviews has thoroughly tested this new processor, and today we bring you our results.
