The Athlon II X4 features the next-generation AMD Direct Connect Architecture for a fast, responsive PC. This processor is also optimized to take advantage of the power management features in Windows 7 using AMD PowerNow! 3.0 Technology.
Energy efficiency is important to AMD, allowing you to enjoy a cool, quiet PC while saving energy and reducing heat, noise and the effect of your computer on the environment. Energy efficiency innovations include Cool’n’Quiet, AMD CoolCore and AMD Smart fetch. These technologies reduce power consumption and processor activity. You’ll experience up to 50% energy efficiency over previous AMD Athlon II processors.
AMD Athlon II processors also offer support for Virtualization Technology. You can run virtual environments on one system with ease, allowing you to use legacy programs on a separate operating system. Also providing 64-bit support, this processor can handle the most demanding programs with ease. Add the convenience and power of multi-core processing and enjoy the benefits of energy efficiency with an AMD Athlon II X4 620 today!
AMD64 Quad-core Technology AMD64 is designed to enable simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing with no degradation in performance. With Quad-core technology, four complete processor cores on a single die run at the same frequency to deliver exceptional multi-tasking power, allowing users to surge through the most demanding processing loads, including advanced multitasking, critical business productivity, complicated visual design and modeling, serious gaming, and visually stunning digital media and entertainment.
Integrated DDR2 and DDR3 DRAM Memory Controller The AMD Athlon II X4 620 quad-core processor is integrated with DDR2 and DDR3 DRAM memory controller capable of supporting unregistered DRAM. The integrated memory controller changes the way the processor accesses main memory, resulting in increased bandwidth, reduced memory latencies, and enhanced processor performance.
HyperTransport 3.0 Technology HyperTransport Technology (HT or HTT) is a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point link designed to increase communication speeds between integrated circuits in computers, servers, embedded systems, and networking and telecommunications equipment. With HT 3.0 technology the AMD Athlon II X4 620 processor enjoys 4000MHz system bus speeds.
AMD Cool'n'Quiet Technology AMD's Cool'n'Quiet technology is an innovative solution available on AMD Athlon 64 processor-based systems that can effectively lower power consumption and enable a quieter-running system while delivering performance-on-demand.
Enhanced Virus Protection All AMD processors equipped with AMD64 technology are Enhanced Virus Protection-enabled. Enhanced virus protection acts as a preventative measure causing viruses to be localized, short-lived, and non-contagious, eventually being flushed from system memory.
Pros: $90 for a quad-core CPU. Intel can't beat that. Sure, it won't perform as well as an Intel quad-core CPU, but it does its job. Don't let anyone tell you this CPU is no good for gaming. Anyone who does is an Intel fan-boy elitist. This CPU is great for gaming. The graphics card is the bottleneck, not the CPU.
Cons: CPU fan could be quieter.
Other Thoughts: Don't let anyone tell you this CPU is no good for gaming. Anyone who does is an Intel fan-boy elitist. This CPU is great for gaming. The graphics card is the bottleneck, not the CPU. This is the very first computer I've ever built, and I built it for gaming. This CPU can haul, and it hauls well.

Rating: 5/5First quad for me
Pros: Quad core for decent price. I don't really do any overclocking, but I got a 7.1 in Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit.
Cons: No Cons
Other Thoughts: Read about unlocking L3 Cache. Mine can't do it. I have the latest revision. (I tried) I didn't even know there was no L3 to begin with until after I purchased it. LoL. Oh wells... No Need. Upgraded froma 6000+ Dual Core.

Pros: beauty of a card, was in a pinch for a big project when my old cpu died, this one has yet to let me down. OC's nicely, I've managed to bump it up to 3.7 stable without having to do any voltage adjustments. I run it at 3.5 though just in case
Cons: can get a little hot with major loads

Pros: Runs flawlessly on my BioStar TA790GXE mobo.
Cons: N/A
Other Thoughts: After purchasing this CPU I then started looking at benchmarks for it. It scored right amongst others that were 2 to 3x as much in price as this processor. Even those with lower scores were costing more than this one. HUGE bang for your buck on this one.

Rating: 5/5Just great.
Pros: Cheap. Acceptable heatsink.
Cons: Locked multiplier so overclocking is harder.
Other Thoughts: If you are a gamer deciding on a CPU look no further. Spending more money on a faster CPU will do almost nothing to improve frame rates. I'm using this with a radeon 5770 and I can max out almost any game @ 1920x1080 and I can assure you my video card is to blame.

Rating: 5/5Temperature Ratings
Pros: I have this cpu on a MA785GM-US2H in a Antec 300. Idle temps are around 30c but get up to 60c while encoding. I looked up the heat rating of this cpu and found it to be 71c Max according to AMD. I went from a single core athlon to this and my encoding speeds just dropped tremendously. it use to take 9-10 hours for a two hour movie, now it gets done in about 55mins!! i don't regret getting this cpu at all!
Cons: Gets a lil toasty when under full load.
Other Thoughts: Im considering overclocking this cpu in the bios. i heard it reaches 3.2 and stays stable.... might try this.

Rating: 5/5Great HTPC Proc
Pros: - Excellent price / power ratio - No problems running W7MC or encoding video
Cons: - stock cooling just doesn't cut it for a HTPC application, replaced the stock HSF with a Scythe Big Shuriken (no issues in blocking any RAM slots).

Pros: great chip
Cons: none yet
Other Thoughts: Something that was not listed in the specs sheet: this chip supports ddr3 only upto 1333. My sticks of ddr3 1600 not being used to full potential. C'est la vie, I suppose

Rating: 5/5Great cpu
Pros: Just got this baby in the mail, plugged it into my biostar A0E773 board and fired up on the first try. Running it at stock speed (although tempted, and have heard, you can oc to 3+ ghz). However, bought it to play starcraft 2 and runs everything smoothly on all ultra settings (have a ati hd 5670 so lower end graphics). I'd recommend to anyone that wants to save money and get everything out of their system.
Cons: The box is deceptively small, not like it matters, just wanted to add a con ;)
Other Thoughts: Probably will overclock just for the sake of it...
