AMD’s Unbeatable Multicore Values 

When it comes to multicore performance per dollar, AMD’s got your back.  Take a look at two prime examples of CPUs that are as budget-friendly as they are high-performing.

The AMD Phenom™ II X6 1090T Processor

Still the world’s best CPU bang for the buck under $200; the AMD Phenom™ II X6 processor has truly outstanding 6-core processor performance per dollar.

  • Six-core processor with unlocked multiplier for industry-leading multitasking performance.  
  • AMD Turbo Core Technology automatically switches from six cores to three turbocharged cores for applications that just need raw speed rather than extra cores.
  • AMD 64 with Direct Connect Architecture lets you smoothly run both 32 and new generation 64-bit software while its revolutionary architecture helps improve overall system performance and power efficiency.

The AMD Athlon™ II X4 640 Processor

The world’s only quad core for less than $100.1  You can pay more for a similarly powerful quad-core, but you can’t pay less.

  • Fast and responsive multicore processing for serious multitasking, thanks to AMD 64 with Direct Connect Architecture.
  • AMD PowerNow!™ Technology helps reduce power consumption and energy costs by balancing processor activity.
  • Integrated Memory Controller for high-throughput, low-latency, optimum performance.
