AMD Athlon II X4 reviewed

[demonkevy666]

AMD much awaited Porpus has finally showed up and as usual Inpai guys were the first to review it. The AII X4 priced at $116 seems to be the cheapest Quad Core till date and is placed in direct competition with Core 2 Quad 8200. The test shows how well the processor work, not only performance the processor easily achive 1ghz stable overclock. The AII X4 is no slouch either and will surely tempt user with overall better performance.

The model tested is not the best from AII X4 stable , the higher version will be out soon.

It will be mixed (Propus & Deneb with disabled L3)



The TDP won't be 65W. If the TDP would be 65W then the AMD should mark all of these CPUs as energy efficient ("e" letter). I think that this is the reason why the AMD put all non 45W Propus to the 95W class. Simple marketing.

oh look here we have a 3 code to look at ???

AADAC AD

volume made of deneb when 45nm was made and had no tlb is huge.

I think that the key is in the middle two letters. AD (or AC). AC = Deneb, AD = Propus.

...or the last three leters of the revision.


AADAC = Propus

CADAC = Propus

CACYC = Deneb

The early samples always begin with "A" letter.

A->C->J....

...and if I'm not mistaken then the third and the fourth letters jointly show the revision of the IMC.
