Is AMD Athlon II X2 250 good?
Admittedly, the higher clocked Athlon II X2 250 has the edge in our World in Conflict benchmark. But neither chip is a great choice if smooth gaming performance is a high priority. Finally, it’s worth noting that unlike many dual-core AMD processors, the Athlon II X2 250 does not have any hidden cores to unlock.
What is AMD Athlon II X2 250 processor?
The AMD Athlon II X2 250 was a desktop processor with 2 cores, launched in June 2009. It is part of the Athlon II X2 lineup, using the Regor architecture with Socket AM3. Athlon II X2 250 has 2MB of L2 cache and operates at 3 GHz.
Which is the AMD Athlon II X2 250?
The ADX250OCK23GQ / ADX250OCGQBOX, the first microprocessor from Athlon II X2 family, was introduced simultaneously with socket AM3 Phenom II X2, X3 and X4 CPUs. The 250 is clocked at 3 GHz, same as Phenom II 545.
Which is the last of the AMD Athlon CPUs?
Earlier this last month, AMD launched for its 40 years of existence the 2.8GHz Athlon Kuma 7850 Black Edition, the last of the Athlon series, which also celebrated its 10 years. Today, we are presented to its son: the Athlon II X2 250.
Is it possible to overclock an Athlon II CPU?
The Athlon II CPUs can be overclocked by raising reference clock. The reference clock (sometimes *inaccurately* reffered to as FSB) has a value of 200 in BIOS before the OC. Now, most of those multipliers (16x CPU, 10x NB, and so on) are already set on Max by default in BIOS.
Can a Phenom II X2 overclock to 3.7ghz?
Both the Athlon II X2 and the Phenom II X2 managed to overclock to about the same levels. Without any additional core voltage they were able to run at 3.5 – 3.6GHz, with the Athlon II being able to go a bit higher thanks to being free of any L3 cache. With less than 10% additional core voltage I was able to get both chips up to 3.7GHz.
