Triple- and quad-core CPUs offer better performance (particularly for content creation)
Abstract: 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 inside! 86 C...
Abstract: This review is also available in German.Since about three months ago, AMD is selling energy efficient versions of the heavily delayed AMD Propus die. The core has lost its massive L3 cache, but AMD decided to increase the L2 Cache to 1MB per core. All ...
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 ...
With the Athlon II X2 240e, AMD has delivered a CPU that delivers phenomenal bang for your buck. It is excellent for HTPCs where silence and low heat output are chief concerns. It does well with the tasks you’d ask a HTPC to do, and has enough mus...
Abstract: While AMD is not releasing any processors here based on wholly new architecture, the Athlon II X3 435 (try saying that in under 3 seconds), and the Athlon II X2 240e are welcome additions to the ranks of the value-minded Athlon II CPU family...

Abstract: A month ago AMD introduced the world’s first quad-core processor to debut at $99. Last week, AMD announced its third quarter earnings for 2009. While the company as a whole lost money, the Product Company (CPU and GPU design) turned a small profit. I d...
Abstract: For most consumers,the overall value of the product in question is usually the most important factor in making a purchasing decision. And its not a coincidence that AMD is flooding the market with affordable CPUs at every possible price point..
Abstract: The Athlon II X3 435 really has Intel beat in the price range for the performance. The addition of the third core really helps out in multithreaded tasks when a dual core would be maxed out. Costing only $87, it's a great value. The Athlon II
Abstract: Athlon II X2 240e and Athlon II X3 435 are faster than similar-priced CPUs from Intel (with two exceptions, on Photoshop CS4 Intel CPUs were a little bit faster and on After Effects Celeron E3200 was 16% faster than Athlon II X2 240e, but..
