mAJORD has an impressively detailed review of AMD's Athlon II X4 620, a budget quad-core CPU. Athlon II X4 is codename Propus - A Quad-core Phenom II in every way, but with NO L3 Cache. That's really all there is to it. The plus side though, is that the die size is considerably smaller. ... End result.. more chips can fit on a single wafer.. many more infact, so they can be sold a LOT cheaper. Good for us.
Fortune Cookie:
...computer hardware progress is so fast. No other technology since
civilization began has seen six orders of magnitude in performance-price
gain in 30 years.
