Express testing of AMD FX-8350 processor with DDR3 2133MHz memory
AMD FX processors from the Vishera generation are usually compared to wine – they only get better over time. And given this rather well-established opinion of some enthusiasts, it becomes doubly sad that the ASUS M5A97 LE motherboard of the second revision and the AMD FX-8350 processor I managed to get only for a short […]
Phenom II Performance for the Price of Pentium Dual Core: Athlon II X4 641 Review and Tests
A little about FM1 It turned out rather strange because no one ever expected from AMD that their processor socket would last only about a year. Judge for yourself – AM2 lived for more than 3 years, AM2+ continued to survive, existed for about the same time. AM3 keeps afloat even now! What can we […]
Overclocking and testing of the AMD Athlon II X2 220 processor (Regor, 45nm, 2800MHz)
Athlon II X2 220 is a typical Regor core: It is based on the K10.5 microarchitecture and is manufactured according to a 45nm process technology. But there are also some caveats. Chips X2 220 and X2 215 are cut in half by the L2 cache. Unlike their older brothers, which have a whole megabyte of […]
AMD Phenom X3 8450 vs Athlon II X3 435: Review, benchmarks and overclocking
Until recently, the Phenom X3 series processors looked not very attractive, to put it mildly. And frankly, this situation has developed not so much because of their relatively low performance in gaming applications (in professional tasks, tri-core processors have always been extremely good), but because of their high voracity and high-quality requirements for motherboards. But […]
Most alive: overclocking and test AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+
Introduction As I already wrote in my previous articles, games, and software have changed a lot since 2005, and have already learned how to implement their code well for three, or even four cores, and it was at that time that the first dual-core processors were presented. Many are also tormented by the question of […]
Express testing of the AMD Phenom II X6 1055T processor in games: do we really need six cores?
I think everyone is interested to see the tests in games of the fresh six-core processor from AMD. But are there games now that already boast multithreading support? For a start, probably this GTA 4, only then Assassin’s Creed II, Lost Planet, and a few more projects. But if think logically, then in reality it […]
Athlon II X2 250 review, testing and overclocking
Not so long ago (half a year ago), AMD presented its new dual-core processors to the general public. More precisely, the Phenom II X2 550 and Athlon II X2 250. Of course, at the moment there are more powerful representatives of this family, for example, the fresh Athlon II X2 255. But it has not […]
