Review on AMD Athlon II X2 270 Regor 3.4 GHz Socket AM3 Dual-Core Processor – Retail ADX270OCGMBOX: High-Performance Desktop CPU with Dual Cores and 2x1 MB L2 Cache by Kenta Saito ᠌

On mat. On the Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3 board, this percentage, of course, is not the most powerful, but the performance in combination with the aforementioned dzhyfors GT430 and 4 GB of memory was enough, incl. and such games "for heavy-duty PCs" as Metro 2033 and Singularity, about Anrylo 3 and especially Quake 4 are not worth talking about. For an office and "cheap" gaming computer, it will do. For example, in a linpack with a task volume of 10,000 equations and three times the result was: time - 2 minutes 57 seconds, performance - about 16.05 Gflops (billion floating point operations per second). But I want something more powerful, for example, something like a phenom x4 955-965 (with a free multiplier), just wait until the price drops even more, in connection with the release of the sandy bridge from Intel and the upcoming release of the bulldozer from AMD. By the way, about overclocking: with the above frequency of 3.8 GHz (in BIOS, the frequency and multiplier are 253x15) I "tortured" this percentage, the SuperPI test 1M = 20.719sec and 32M = 18min38.000sec, "tortured" and linpack, sorry, the results at I didn't record the acceleration. At the same time, there was not a single failure and departure, and the temperature under the linpak reached the highest 41-42 Celsius, and this was at the standard supply voltage, and with a conventional fan for 190, at an air temperature of 22-24 degrees. But it was worth raising the frequency to 254-258 MHz, and the system crashed, and at higher values, the computer did not want to boot and restored everything by default.
