Review on AMD Phenom II X4 940 ๐Ÿ’ป Black Edition 3.0GHz AM2+ Processor - Retail by Rimba

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

I work in a computer center. I know a little about the peculiarities of the market and the marketing policy of iron manufacturers . Therefore, when I was choosing a new system unit for myself, it was out of the question to assemble it based on Intel, since their cost by 40 percent is a brand fee and multi-billion dollar advertising costs)))) ) At the same time, there is no particular difference in performance, this is a FACT. An ordinary user will NEVER see or feel it at all. But you will feel the extra 100-200 bucks thrown out for the brand)))) As a result, the configuration turned out like this: Proc Phenom II x4 955, Mother ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO USB3, 4GB DDR III 1800 mhz, video Sapphire AMD 5770 1GB. As a result, everything together with the case, cooler, hard 500 and the drive came out a little over 22K. Seven rated 7.4 percent, 7.8 memory, 7.5 video. Everything that is possible flies at maximum settings - Metro 2033, Call of Duty Black Ops, Mafia 2. On the basis of, for example, i5, i7, where one normal mother costs a thousand 8, such a productive system can never be assembled for such money. And if there is no difference, as they say, then why pay more? )))))) One of the best processors in terms of price-quality ratio.

Pros
  • 1. 4 cores, quietly overclocked through the BIOS to 3.8 GHz! 2. Unlocked multiplier and the ability to overclock the L3 cache by increasing the frequency of the north bridge from 2022 to 2700 mhz (again through the BIOS) 3. Large power reserve for the future. In the most powerful games like subway 2033 percent is only 30 percent loaded! 4. Price. from Intel for such an amount, buy only i3 or i5, which this percentage will tear to smithereens)))))))))
Cons
  • No
