AMD's Range The Athlon II family was unveiled in June 2009 with the X2 200 series the first to become available, followed up by the X3 400, released in October 2009.The Athlon X3 400 CPUs are based on the K10 architecture, with three cores, 1.5 MB...

Last month saw me going slightly giddy over AMD's latest budget chip and the first quad-core CPU we'd seen for under a ton. This month, as is its wont, AMD has got its triple-core Athlon II X3 mojo going and its latest chip is hitting the...

AMD is cranking out processors in every price range and market segment faster than most of us can keep track of. They've released everything from dual core Athlon 2 X2 to Quad core Phenom 2 X4 and done so in an almost impossibly fast schedule. The...

AMD's Athlon II X3 435 processor is a natural successor to the Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition that launched nearly a year ago. While the 720BE has an extra 6MB of L3 cache and an unlocked multiplier, in PCSTATS' benchmark testing the Athlon II...

What more can you say other than if you want a sub-$200 processor AMD is really the place to be. They are unmatched by Intel and will be until at least sometime into 2010. One bad thing is that all these part names are a little confusing the model...

For those who don't edit video or often use multi-threaded programs, this triple-core CPU offers performance similar to costlier quad-core CPUs....

There's no question that AMD's pricing strategy with these five new chips was aggressive and intelligent, with all the CPUs except the Phenom II X4 910e priced below Intel's recent Core i5 and Core i3 offerings. But, at least in our tests,...

Throughout all of our performance results, we saw both the 435 and 240e fall well behind all of the other processors in our line-up, but of all the near-20 processors in these charts, these two CPUs from AMD are only two of the four in our chart that...

PCWizKid was interested in seeing how well the standard 95W CPU triple core would result, and as expected it lied exactly in between a Ahlon II X2 and a X4. To no surprise power consumption was low and temperature readings as seen in the video review...

This cpu can be bought for about 80$ but is it worth it? I would personally go for the 620 which cost 20$ more but performs a bit better. You can overclock this unit though to the same speeds and it might even be possible to unlock a fourth core, I...

The Althon II’s price tags are no joke. The tests seem to have all gone quite well. The overclocking alone is an awesome selling point. With stability at around 3.5GHz just on air (mind that your office/computer area may heat up) is very nice. The...

As we can see, Athlon II X2 250 can still compete with the E6300, these processors demonstrate similar performance. So the rollout of new triple-core processors based on the new core has consolidated AMD's positions in the market segment of below...
