Draws more power than AMD's new energy-efficient CPUs
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..
Let's look at all the results, diluted into one simple chart: Here's where it all comes together. Look at the Athlon II X3 435 versus the Phenom II X3 720. For three-quarters of the price, the Athlon II X3 435 offers identical encoding ability, l...
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 X3...
Face it, for the money the Athlon II X3 435 processor is a product that will offer a lot of value. Despite the L3 cache being stripped away it on occasion even outperformed the Phenom II X3 720BE processor. That processor hovered is much more easy to ...
As we have seen in the previous benchmarks, the Athlon II X3 435 falls behind its Phenom II counterpart in gaming, which benefits of an L3 cache, a better inter-core communication, as well as higher memory bandwidth. However this can be seen mainly a...
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 X3 435 costs only USD 10 more than Athlon II 240e and its extra performance is worth well over USD 10 if you will eventually run programs that benefit from having an additional CPU processing core available..
Abstract: 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 numbers can definitely be more than tough to match up with what is actually going on..
I believe no one will deny the fact that AMD is hopelessly behind Intel in microarchitecture development. K10 (Stars) microarchitecture that the company has been exploiting for the past several years doesn’t allow AMD to successfully compete against In...
