AMD Turbo CORE Technology AMD Turbo CORE technology is a performance boosting technology that automatically switches from six cores to three turbocharged core for applications that just need raw speed over multiple cores.
AMD64 with Direct Connect Architecture AMD64 technology allows the AMD Phenom II processors to run 32-bit applications at full speed while enabling a new generation of powerful 64-bit software applications. Moreover, all AMD Phenom II processors are built on AMD’s revolutionary Direct Connect Architecture, where processors are directly connected to one another. An I/O and memory subsystem are also directly connected to each processor, helping improve overall system performance and efficiency.
Integrated Memory Controller The AMD Phenom II processors feature a high-bandwidth, low-latency integrated memory controller that directly connects the processor to memory for optimum performance, low latency, and high throughput.
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 Phenom II processors enjoy 4000MHz system bus speeds.
PowerNow! 3.0 Technology CPU power management technologies featured in AMD PowerNow! 3.0 Technology like AMD's Cool'n'Quiet 3.0 technology result in proven, measurable benefits for businesses and consumers, including reduced power usage, lower energy costs, and greener PC operation.
AMD Virtualization Virtualization on desktop computers allows a single PC to act like multiple virtual machines. AMD Virtualization can enable client computers to seamlessly support multiple operating environments. It also helps make it easier for PC enthusiasts to upgrade and maintain their PCs through emulation.

devilrex 2/14/2013 4:38:17 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5GREAT CPU! Pros: Overclocks fine. Cons: NONE Other Thoughts: I have been using this cpu for a while now. It is in the pc I am using to wright this review. Someday I may upgrade to something bigger. For now I just don't need to. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 1/30/2013 8:48:53 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5 Pros: Great processor, I don't really know what all to say since some people want to read about the tech pros to this and others just want some general info. All I can really say without getting into the tech side of things is that this processor will run anything you want to very well. Cons: The stock fan sucks, it works, but if you live any where warm like me (Phoenix, Arizona) then your idle temps will be high as mine were sitting around 57 Celsius.

Aratan 11/27/2012 6:13:23 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5 Pros: Fast and reliable performance. Overclocks easy, runs cool, and lets my 7970 do it's thing. All around, the best desktop CPU that AMD has ever released. Cons: It's been discontinued and AMD hasn't made anything better to replace it yet. Other Thoughts: It may be old and even with a beastly overclock can't compete with modern Intel processors in synthetic benchmarks, but it lets me play any game at max settings with 60+ fps and that's all that matters.

Josh 10/29/2012 1:38:39 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5WOW! Pros: This processor is simply extraordinary. My rig boots up in a matter of seconds. These 6 cores haul through any game or program (with the help of my graphics card of course). I strongly recommend this to anyone who wants a affordable processor that can run very fast. An Intel processor at this speed will cost you 700+USD. AMD for the win. Cons: None at all. Other Thoughts: Not really a con but I wish this came with a better fan..Oh well :) 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 10/28/2012 5:50:17 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/56 cores Awesome! Pros: The processor is amazingly fast! and also you cannot beat the price of this thing. Does great will all games that i have tried on my pc and also running the adobe suite is absolutely no problem. Cons: no cons this was a big upgrade for me because before i was running a single core x64 amd processor. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 10/26/2012 12:44:04 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Its good for a budget build Pros: Overclocks well. But not very stable. Temperature are ok. Stock fan and heat sink are doable if you are on a budget. Fan can get loud. Cons: Sometimes unstable in OC. But may vary from Mobo or chipset selections. Fan can get very loud if OC and hot. Other Thoughts: I had this for 2 months. Messed with it a lot. Honestly I returned it and got an i5 2500k. Made huge difference in gaming. But if you are on a budget or like to do a lot of heavy muti-tasked applications then this puppy is good enough. Not worth to take eggs off when comparing to better CPUs. Go for it if you are on a budget. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 10/11/2012 8:13:47 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5	Rating: 5/5IT'S BACK Pros: What can i say it's FAST this is a TRUE 6 Core,not like the 8 it's 4 cores with 4 threads.Not the same as this.Why there so cheap and this cost.I like this so much i put it in a new M.B. waiting for W-8 for this.I have a 2500k and I-7. Cons: NONE.. i wish the 8 cores were TRUE CORES like this 2.8 it cost a lot of money to have 8 real cores in a chip there is no way AND would be able to sell the chip as cheap as they are selling now. Other Thoughts: AMD and Intel are both holding back for awhile till they clear their stock.Then late next year DDR4 will be out at 3200-3800 ram speed.With all new Boards with W-8 you aint seen nothing YET.

TAP 10/1/2012 6:45:23 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5One of the last great AMDs Pros: I bought this CPU almost the day it was released from Newegg. I bought a better fan and have been running it at 3.6GHz the entire time I've owned it. My CPU has almost never been the bottleneck, it's always been the HDD/SSD, video card, or something else. (I edit video.) Almost every program I use is 64-bit and there are a few times I've seen all six cores maxed out. Ran a WPI score of 7.6 in Win 7 Pro today-- which compelled me to come rate this processor. Cons: Nothing yet. knock on wood Did you find this review helpful?

Flytrap 9/22/2012 12:25:01 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5fast Pros: overclocked to 3.69 and it stays fast. easy to install. the price was the main factor in buying a new cpu. i multitask a lot and this lets me do it. Cons: none Other Thoughts: good value vs intel 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Hurstvonberg 9/17/2012 12:09:42 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5	Rating: 5/5Still strong 2 years on!! Pros: Still strong 2 years on Fast Stable Cool RELIABLE!!! 6 strong cores!! Cons: >>> return None Other Thoughts: I have had this processor for 2 or so years....got it back in the days when the Phenoms ruled. See.. I never used it's stock fan. I used a TX3 from Cooler Master and Arctic Silver 5 from day one. This processor has been a marvel. Being able to record a TV show, while working with Adobe photoshop or compiling programs at the same time...this processor does it all without question. I don't think I will ever need an upgrade. It chews through all my games, runs really cool for a 6 core....idles at 34-37C and full throttle never goes above 57C...thanks to that quiet Cooler Master TX3. It runs at 3.2 Ghz and that is fast enough for what I use it for. I will not be surprised if I still have this processor a couple or more years from now....i believe I will and for as long as it works... many thanks to the light and stable Windows 7 and Gigabyte for the excellent motherboard which was been running strong for 2 years, Western Digital for their Black Caviar 640Gb drive...and Newegg!!!
