AMD Athlon II X4 620 AM3 Quad-Core Processor Reviews

  "It turns out that the fourth core can make up for the lack of L3 cache. Moreover, Athlon II X4 620 outperforms Phenom II X3 710, even if we take into account results obtained with DDR2. That's the average result. What concerns the situation in test groups, we've already covered it above. Considering that the triple-core processor outperforms the 620 or even takes the lead in some groups of tests, the 700 will definitely remain popular. Such processors are sometimes more expedient for upgrades of the DDR2 platform, and some users will still buy such processors trying their luck in unlocking the fourth core. On the other hand, some representatives of Series 600 from earlier shipments are actually based on the cut-down Deneb (disabled L3 Cache), and such processors can also be unlocked."

  "The AMD Athlon II X4 620 is an outstanding little chip, and its overclocking performance is exceptional. There's a great deal of horsepower hidden in there, though you wouldn't know it by looking at the spec sheet or price. But it doesn't draw much power and runs pretty cool, so managing the heat output with only air cooling is key here to simply unlocking that potential. While it may not run with the big dogs, it's also nowhere near the price either, and quite simply is one of the very best values you'll find out there."
