Review on AMD Athlon II X3 400E Energy Efficient Rana 2.2 GHz 3x512 KB L2 Cache Socket AM3 45W Triple-Core Processor for Retail - AD400EHDGIBOX by Mateusz Szlassa ᠌

On the ASRock 770 Extreme3 ​​board, setting bios acc=auto unlocked the 4thcomre (without L3 cache). At a nominal frequency of 3.1 GHz, but with 4comres Win7 64-bit showed a processor rating of 7.3 as well as memory (DDR3-1333 dual channel) The CPU Queen in Everest 5.5 gives a score of 22587 (under Win32), which is more than the Phenom X4 940 in the same test. In general, the processor after unlocking thecomre began to work like an Athlon X4 645, which is not so far from the Fen at slightly lower frequencies. On the page is an "average performance", the described percentage on 3comres shows 36%, and on 4 already gives 47%, which less than Phenom II X4 945 (49.1%) by only 4.27%. And as you can see from the table, on average with fourcomres it outperforms many if not all processors on the 775 Intel socket, and also outperforms (on average) Intel processors up to and including theCore i5-680. Yes, at a price of 2400 for the 445th, as I got, this is the best choice. You just need to spend a little money and take a motherboard with the ability to unlock somewhere from 1600.
