AMD Athlon 2 X4 620
The AMD Athlon 2 X4 is clocked at 2.6GHz, the die size is extremely small on the Athlon II X4 620, measuring just 169 square millimeters. It is made up of 468 million transistors, while the core voltage is rated at between 0.925 - 1.425v. The TDP of 95 watts happens to be the same rating Intel has given their Core 2 Quad Q8200 processor. Like the Phenom range, the Athlon II X4 620 is capable of operating on either AM2/AM2+ or AM3 motherboards, and thus inherits the ability to use DDR2 or DDR3 memory.
