Review on AMD Phenom II X4 940 💻 Black Edition 3.0GHz AM2+ Processor - Retail by Aditya ᠌

Since this stone from AMD has not been produced for a long time, it still walks on the used market and is in demand. This generation of AMD based on the Deneb architecture is rightfully considered successful! A bit of history: Phenom X4 Deneb, according to AMD's strategy, had to compete with Intel Core I5/i7 based on Lynnfield/Bloomfield core, Nehalem architecture. Although the process technology was 45Nm both there and there. AMD, as usual, miscalculated and Phenom Deneb could only compete with the Intel Core 2 Quad processor, released in 2022. Winning in frequency and price, and slightly inferior in speed. Nevertheless, the processor has become very popular, combining excellent performance, great overclocking potential and a very good price! in 2022-2022, the price for them ranged from 7 to 4 depending on version and year. The Phenom X4 made it possible to assemble a decent gaming system, the characteristics of which were enough for the eyes and, meanwhile, it was not necessary to sell a kidney. From personal experience: My stone worked for about 8 years without complaints and overheating, and quite recently (in 2022) it was replaced by Intel. Almost immediately after the purchase, good Zalman cooling was installed. At the moment, Phenom, of course, is losing a lot to modern processors, but it can still show something else. In a bunch of DDR3 12 gigs and GT960, I pulled all modern games! Yes, I stumbled over on non-optimized monsters (hello HELLION and Star Citizen), but I ate the rest with a bang. Percentage in light chases up to 3.7 gigabytes and works stably with acceptable heat dissipation (hello, good cooling). If you decide to buy a used one, check that it is not scorched. You can build a system on it quite cheaply. A new mother under it costs from 3 Often such stones are sold with a used mother, where the price for the mother and percent and cooling is about 2-3 Suitable for those who need an entry-level gaming computer, but money is running out. For an office car, it makes no sense to take!
