Default [XBit] AMD Athlon II 435 Review With Core Unlocking
Quote:



Frankly speaking, Athlon II X3 are in a way unique processors because neither AMD nor Intel have any other solutions like that. Only these CPUs have more than two cores but at the same time are extremely affordable. These particular features will make Athlon II X3 a pretty demanded solution. Multi-threaded applications become more and more popular. Today even games may benefit from an extra processor core in your system, not to mention numerous programs for work with media content that are becoming wider spread among home users. In response to this tendency AMD decided to offer a suitable hardware platform at a democratic price.
Very good article especially the section on unlocking the 4th core and overclocking. Seems to be quite a bit of bias in the article and I wish they would have actually compared it to more than 1 Intel processor but apparently your choices are either the Intel e6500 or AMD........................yeah....
