Is the AMD Athlon™ II X2 processor a triple- or quad-core Athlon™ II processor with disabled cores? Is it because the cores didn’t work?
 
The AMD Athlon™ II X2 dual-core processor is a native dual-core architecture which is a representative example of AMD’s ongoing strategy to differentiate products by number of cores, price and power consumption. In an effort to address customer and end user demand for a native dual-core processor, the AMD Athlon II X2 processor is designed to deliver the performance that is expected of the AMD Athlon brand at a mainstream price point that delivers superior value.
