AMD Athlon II X4 640 3.0GHz Quad Core

The AMD Athlon II X4 640 is the current and sterling quad-core Athlon II processor to be released. The AMD Athlon II X4 640 comes priced at a low damage of $122.00 advantageous business. Based on the 'Propus' CPU die, the Athlon II X4 640 has a quantify pace of 3.0GHz with a 2000MHz HT linkup and memory support for both DDR2 and DDR3. The dung's overall quantify ratio is retributory 100MHz faster than the AMD Athlon II X4 635, which costs $105.99. For an superfluous ~$16 you get other 100MHz motion prominence, which strength excrete whatsoever of you oscitance, but for those who don't equivalent to overclock and are construction a new scheme every last megacycle can supply. The new AMD Athlon II X4 640 is also based on the new C3 CPU stepping, so it features the last CPU optimizations and errata fixes.  Both the AMD Athlon II X4 635 and 640 processors are eager quad-core CPUs that are apotheosis for someone hunting for the multi-threaded show that only a quad-core processor can act a look at the CPUz Door remark above we can see the specs of the AMD Athlon II X4 640 Space Ngo Processor.  The system utilizes a 200MHz bus travel, which requires a x15 multiplier to reach the last processor zip of 3.0GHz. The Athlon II X4 640 has a complete L2 buffer of 2MB which it shares in joint with the Phenom II processors, but is wanting the L3 fund of that the Phenom II's possess. Alas, the AMD Athlon II X4 640 is not a Soul Edition Processor, so to reach any overclocking we module possess to hike the FSB; we faculty quantity with that ulterior in the article, tho'. The Athlon II X4 640 has a judgment of 95W TDP.
AMD Athlon II X4 635 Propus Die

The Athlon II broadcast is on the devalue end of AMD's price spectrum. AMD is competent to have the value downwardly on the Athlon II program for various reasons. The deficiency of any L3 Fund on the Propus Die is one of the reasons the Athlon II's can affirm the low price show. The smaller die of Propus implementation that it testament be inferior pricey to construct and allows AMD to hit vulturine damage points for quad core processors.  Collective from the gain up the Propus Die measures 169mm and is manufactured by GLOBALFOUNDARIES at Fab 1 in Metropolis, Frg using the 45nm DSL SOI (silicon-on-insulator) walk that all the otherwise higher-end Phenom II processors use.
