AMD Athlon II X4 620 & 630 - Budget Quad-Core (0 Comments) (link)
 Thursday, 17-September-2009  16:12:03 (GMT +10) - by Agg

AMD have released their mainsteam quad-core CPU family, the Athlon II X4. At first the announcement of Athlon II X4s doesn't seem too interesting. Especially since they have been rumored for some time and it wasn't much of a stretch to imagine that AMD would get around to releasing quad-core Athlon II processors eventually. Not to mention the Athlon IIs are in many ways just Phenom IIs with the L3 cache removed, so there isn't a ton of brand new tech under the hood to ogle at. However, things get a lot more interesting when you hear the list price...
