Review on AMD Phenom II X4 940 πŸ’» Black Edition 3.0GHz AM2+ Processor - Retail by Elang ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

An ideal product for any type of consumer.

Even though AMD has not manufactured this particular stone in quite some time, it is still available on the secondary market and is in high demand. This particular generation of AMD, which is based on the Deneb architecture, is justifiably regarded as a successful one! A brief look into the past: AMD's Phenom X4 Deneb was designed to compete with Intel's Core I5 and Core I7 processors, both of which are based on the Lynnfield/Bloomfield core and the Nehalem architecture. despite the fact that the process technology used was 45Nm in both locations. Phenom Deneb could only go up against the Intel Core 2 Quad processor, which didn't be out until 2022, since AMD, as usual, made a calculation error. prevailing in terms of frequency and cost while falling just short in terms of speed. Despite this, the CPU has gained a lot of popularity because it combines a very reasonable pricing with a very good performance, as well as a tremendous potential for overclocking. The cost of one of these items varied from seven dollars to four dollars in 2022-2022, depending on the edition and the year. The Phenom X4 made it possible to put together a respectable gaming system, the features of which were sufficient for the eyes, and in the meantime, it was not necessary to sell a kidney. In other words, the system could be put together without having to sell a kidney. From personal experience: After roughly eight years of dependable service during which it did not break down or become overheated, my stone was finally upgraded to an Intel processor in 2022. Good Zalman cooling was fitted in the system almost shortly after the purchase was made. Although Phenom is currently at a significant disadvantage in comparison to contemporary CPUs, it still has something else to demonstrate. I extracted all modern games from a collection of DDR3 with a capacity of 12 gigabytes and a GT960. Although I did run into some non-optimized monsters here and there (hello, HELLION and Star Citizen! ), I made short work of the rest of them. The percentage in light chases up to 3.7 gigabytes, and it functions reliably while dissipating heat in an adequate manner (hello, good cooling). If you choose to get a secondhand one, make sure that it hasn't been burned in any way. It is possible to construct a system on it at a low cost. The price starts at three dollars for a new mother. Frequently, stones of this kind are traded along with a previously owned mother. The price for the mother, along with the percentage and the cooling, is typically between two and three. Ideal for individuals who are in desperate need of a gaming PC at the starting level but have a limited budget. For an office automobile, it makes no sense to take!

Pros
  • - Pricing, you can now buy it for one penny! - a fully functional four cores with 3.2 Gbps apiece (I have X4 955) - socket AM2-AM3
Cons
  • - Intelligence that is lost by one generation to the next - Stone that is sufficiently heated - Need effective cooling - Have a high demand for power
