TechwareLabs reviews the AMD Athlon II X2 240e, a low power consumption CPU aimed at the budget-minded. See if this CPU has the muscle to power your next Home Theater PC, or is just a waste of silicon.
Do you leave your computer on all the time? If you've nodded yes to any of the above, it might be time to think about a more power-efficient processor. That's the idea behind AMD's Athlon II X2 240e. It's a 2.8GHz dual-core processor based on the AMD "Regor" core with a TDP of just 45W. The "e" behind the Athlon II X2 240e model name indicates that it's one of AMDs Energy Efficient processors. The Athlon II X2 240e has support for both DDR2 and DDR3 memory, depending on if the processor is dropped into a socket AM2+ or socket AM3 motherboard. Memory can be run at speeds of DDR2-1066 or DDR3-1333 via the Athlon II X2 240e's integrated memory controller.
In the end, there is no miracle. Athlon II X2 215 is a bit faster than Celeron, but slower than Pentium. It's positioned on a par with the lowest-end Celeron anyway. Besides, it works well with DDR3 memory. Something which LGA775 processors, especially low-end, cannot boast of.
Dual core chips still have a place in the PC market place. Whether you need something for your HTPC or a new chip for mom, dual cores provide an affordable way to get performance. Join us as we take a look at AMD's latest offering the Athlon II 255 and 260.
What the AM1 platform really has to offer is the ability to put a low cost and low power system just about anywhere. The ability to build the a small form factor system for use as an HTPC or as a NAS unit is certainly a possibility, or maybe you want to put a PC in your car like on one of those shows where they hook cars up with every imaginable technology.
Enfin ! Après des mois, voire des années d'attente, l'architecture Bulldozer d'AMD se dévoile enfin au travers de la gamme de processeurs FX, et de son fleuron, le FX-8150, qui fonctionne sur un socket AM3+.
Since the Phenom CPUs were launched we have seen a number of models become available with performance regularly increasing and more recently the addition of support for DDR3 but there was no sign of energy efficient versions. That changes today with the launch of the Phenom 2 X3 705e and Phenom 2 X4 905e.
That’s not all AMD have to offer though as they are also releasing two other new CPUs. Firstly we have our first look at a dual core Phenom 2 and secondly there is the new Athlon 2 model which brings DDR3 support to the older family of CPU’s.
The AMD A10-5800K APU was easily the clear winner when it came to gaming performance. The biggest difference that we saw in our gaming benchmarks was in Aliens Vs. Predator, where we there was an average difference of 21.6% between the A10-5800K and the A8-5600K...
Join TechwareLabs as we take a look at the AMD A8-5600k, the unlocked third tier chip of the new Trinity series. With four cores, an unlocked multiplier, and a 7xxx series Radeon on-chip, this little APU offers a lot of punch in a small package. Read on to find out if it will be able to deliver.
Right on track, well after Ivy Bridge, AMD has released their second generation of Accelerated Processing Units in the form of the Trinity series A10-5800K and the A8-5600K. Last week, we brought you a preview of these two APUs just to give you a taste of their gaming performance and some of their specifications. Today, at Benchmark Reviews, we are going in detail for a full work-over of the A8-5600K APU.
