Product Description
Product Description
AMD Athlon™ X2 dual-core processors put the power of dual-core technology on the desktop. Dual-core processors contain two processing cores, residing on one chip, that perform calculations on two streams of data to increase efficiency and speed while running multiple programs and the new generation of multi-threaded software. For end-users this means a significant increase in response and performance when running multiple applications simultaneously.
Better Multi-Tasking Means Increased Office Productivity
Productivity in today’s workplace requires smooth, efficient and seamless multi-tasking. AMD Athlon™ X2 dual-core processors deliver TRUE multi-tasking, allowing users to switch from one program to another without always pausing for the computer to catch up and reducing annoying processing pauses.
Setting the Pace in Digital Media
Digital media software demands simultaneous processing of data streams, the perfect use for the incredible multi-tasking power of AMD64 dual-core technology. Dual-core technology is like having two processors working together, each one taking care of different applications, so power-users can actually experience greater performance when multiple applications are running. Digital media enthusiasts can usher in the next generation of digital media software for amazing high-definition video and photo editing, content creation, and audio mixing. With an AMD Athlon™ X2 dual-core processor, your PC can perform up to 80% faster than an AMD Athlon™ 4000+ processor on the latest power-hungry digital media software applications.
Get more Power using less Power
Energy-efficient AMD processors with AMD PowerNow!™ Technology (Cool’n’Quiet™ Technology) enable smaller, sleeker, more energy-efficient PC’s. In March 2005, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded AMD PowerNow!™ Technology (Cool’n’Quiet™ Technology) special recognition for the advancement of energy-efficient computer technologies. AMD expects that systems built using energy-efficient AMD desktop processors can meet, and in many instances, exceed the new system requirements from the EPA’s ENERGY STAR Version 4 computer specification, effective July 20, 2007.
All the Proven Benefits of AMD64 Technology
Enhanced Virus Protection with Windows® XP Service Pack 2 and Vista™ Enhanced Virus Protection is a feature enabled by AMD64 technology. Enhanced Virus Protection in conjunction with modern operating systems can help prevent the spread of certain viruses, like MSBlaster and Slammer to significantly reduce the cost and down-time associated with similar viruses and improve the protection of computers and personal information against certain PC viruses1.
AMD Athlon Processor Architecture Performance
HyperTransport™ Technology can increase overall system performance by reducing I/O bottlenecks, increasing system bandwidth, and reducing system latency. A fully integrated memory controller helps speed access to memory by giving the processor a direct connection to the main memory. As a result, end users can enjoy quicker application loading and extraordinary application performance.
Ready for the 64-bit future
Like all the processors in the AMD64 family, AMD Athlon™ X2 dual-core processors are designed for people who want to stay at the forefront of technology and for those who depend on their PCs to keep them connected, informed, and entertained. Systems based on AMD64 processors can deliver leading-edge performance for demanding productivity and entertainment software today and in the future.
With AMD64 technology, AMD Athlon™ X2 dual-core processors are fully compatible with existing software, while enabling a seamless transition to 64-bit applications. Both 32- and 64-bit applications can run simultaneously and transparently on the same platform. AMD64 technology enables new, cinematic computing experiences and capabilities, in addition to increased performance. AMD64 technology allows end users to take advantage of new innovations such as real-time encryption, more life-like games, accurate speech interfaces, cinema-quality graphic effects, and easy-to-use video and audio editing.

This was appalling.
Aside from the fact I didn't do enough research, and the fact that it didn't work with my motherboard (not socket, out of date chip-set) it was very disappointing.
When I received this item, it came in an amazon flat cardboard thing that you would normally receive something like a book in. When I open this, I find a small black box, with the anti-static warning symbol on the front, and "Optimum Packaging" written on the back. When I opened it, I found 2 pieces of very loose foam, and a processor, with the pins facing the foam sandwiching the processor. I turn the processor around to reveal at least 20 bent pins in each corner. After painstakingly bending all of them back, I put it into my socket to find it didn't work, but that I credit to myself having an out of date motherboard.
Somewhere this packet had been under something, which had applied pressure to the black box, and crushing the pins. Not happy at all, it took me 2 hours to bend the pins back to perfection. Wish I'd sent it back. Cannot rate performance, because I never got to use it. I may edit my review when I have a motherboard that works with it. PLEASE REPLACE THE MIS-NAMED OPTIMUM PACKAGING!
Tips for imrovement: plastic shell with pin holes in, surrounded by soft foam, then stronger foam, then in the box, then, not flat packaged.
