The AMD Athlon II X3 440 and 635 are both great additions to the Athlon II lineup. The lineups whole goal is to provide cost effective solutions to the consumer without costing them an arm and a leg. These new additions to the lineup do just this....

Benchmarking 86 CPUs takes a while. After long last, though, we have 51 models from AMD and 35 from Intel tested in our current suite. If you want to know how your processor sizes up to its competition, you'll find plenty of comparison data...

There are some people who might get the impression that we're being unfairly hard on the Athlon II X3 440 by pitting it against the Core i7-920. In fact, the opposite is true. We have tremendous confidence in the gaming abilities of AMD's Athlon...

The AMD Athlon II 440 x3 has proven to be a very worthwhile processor. It’s not geared to the enthusiast or overclocker, but offers considerable performance for those on a budget. It did very well in the PCMark test, as well as Cinebench. The 440...

AMD have impressed me again. The Athlon II X3 440 is an impressive chip. 3 guaranteed cores that can clock over 3.7ghz is very impressive indeed. Yes it's missing an unlocked multiplier like the Black Editions AMD offers but with such a high stock...

Although last fall was in the sign of AMD processors by presentation of a new generation Athlon processors, first X4 and then the triplecores, AMD is not sitting idly by so we got the latest and fastest member of Athlon II X3 family, model...

These new Phenom II and Athlon II processors are certainly a welcome addition to AMD's product lineup. As AMD continues to price their processors aggressively against their competition, the consumers really come out as the winners, getting more...

Today’s CPU introductions from AMD don’t really change this: a 100MHz speed bump just isn’t big enough to really boost performance significantly. We do appreciate the fact that AMD’s giving us this 100MHz speed bump for free though, and also bringing...

There are a few observations and conclusions we can draw from today's results. The first is that the Intel Core chips tend to chew up the competition in synthetic benchmarks if they are quad-core CPUs. The budget i3 is a dual core with...

With the testing done, we can see that the new versions of the Athlon II and Phenom II processors offer some of a performance increase, and if you are looking to upgrade from the less core processors to the higher core count ones, then I suggest to go...
