AMD CPU Athlon II x4 635 2.90GHz Quad-Core ADX635WFK42GM Socket AM3 Processor

hey guys welcome to our weekly Friday video and sometimes we do have a bonus video on Tuesday but today we're testing the AMD Athlon 2 x4 640 this processor is from 2010 we have 4 cores running at 3 gigahertz compared to the efendim 2 processes it has a lower TDP of only 95 watts mostly because it has no level 3 cache it is compatible with socket am3 and you're looking at around 25 to 30 dollars on places such as Aliexpress back in 2010 this processor launched for a really good price only 122 dollars the appeal was to get a cheap 4 core processor and in any software that was multi-threaded you would get a nice performance boost we will check out some games later in this video and it's because of the 4 cores that the CPU has aged quite well compared to a higher clocked dual-core processor for example we're using the gigabyte 880 GMU d2h this is a really nice micro ATX motherboard for soc
