Product Description
Manufacturer Description
The AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core processor puts the power of dual-core technology on the desktop. Dual-core processors contain two processing cores, residing on one chip, that perform calculations on two streams of data, thereby increasing efficiency and speed while running multiple programs and the new generation of multi-threaded software.
Recognized in 2005 by the US Environmental Protection Agency for the advancement of energy efficient computer technology.
For the end-user this means a significant increase in response and performance when running multiple applications simultaneously. The AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core processor outperforms the highest-performing AMD Athlon 64 4000+ single-core processor on multi-tasking benchmarks by up to 30%.
Better Multi-Tasking Means Increased Office Productivity
Productivity in today's workplace requires smooth, efficient and seamless multi-tasking. The AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core processor delivers true multi-tasking, allowing users to switch from one program to another without pausing for the computer to catch up and reducing annoying processing pauses. The end result is an increase in office productivity performance of 22% on average.
Setting the Pace in Digital Media
Digital media software demands simultaneous processing of data streams, the perfect use for the incredible multi-tasking power of the AMD64 dual-core technology. Dual-core technology is like having two processors working together, each one taking care of different applications, so power-users actually experience greater performance when multiple applications are running. Digital media enthusiasts can usher in the next generation of digital media software for amazing high-definition video and photo editing, content creation, and audio mixing. With the AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core processor, your PC will perform up to 80% faster than a single-core AMD Athlon 64 4000+ processor on the latest power-hungry digital media software applications.
Smooth and Efficient Upgrades
Additionally, the elegant design of the AMD64 architecture allowed for the planning of dual-core processors from the ground up, which means that the AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core processor is designed to fit in the same 939-pin infrastructure as single-core processors. All that is required is a BIOS update, saving our partners the costs of redesigns and obsolete inventory.
All the Proven Benefits of AMD64 Technology
Enhanced Virus Protection is a feature of AMD64 technology. Enhanced Virus Protection feature in AMD64 processors, in conjunction with certain operating systems help to prevent the spread of certain viruses, like MSBlaster and Slammer, significantly reducing the cost and down-time associated with similar viruses and improving the protection of computers and personal information against certain PC viruses1.
AMD Athlon 64 Processor Architecture Performance
HyperTransport technology can increase overall system performance by removing I/O bottlenecks, increasing system bandwidth, and reducing system latency. A fully integrated DDR memory controller helps speed access to memory by offering the processor a direct connection to the main memory. As a result, end users can enjoy quicker application loading and extraordinary application performance.
Ready for the 64-bit future
Like all the processors in the AMD Athlon 64 family, the AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core processor is designed for people who want to stay at the forefront of technology and for those who depend on their PCs to keep them connected, informed, and entertained. Systems based on AMD Athlon 64 processors are able to deliver leading-edge performance for demanding productivity and entertainment software today and in the future.
With AMD64 technology, the AMD Athlon 64 processor is fully compatible with existing software, while enabling a seamless transition to 64-bit applications. Both 32- and 64-bit applications can run virtually simultaneously and transparently on the same platform. AMD64 technology enables new, cinematic computing experiences and capabilities, in addition to increased performance. AMD64 technology allows end users to take advantage of new innovations such as real-time encryption, more life-like games, accurate speech interfaces, cinema-quality graphic effects, and easy-to-use video and audio editing.

Bad product copy and Wrong picture shown,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Processor - 1 x AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ / 2.3 GHz Energy Efficient Small Form Factor - Socket 939 AM2 - L2 1 MB ( 2 x 512 KB ) - Box (Personal Computers)
The product copy describes a socket 939 processor and the picture is of a socket 939 processor. What you get is a socket AM2. I suggest buying a processor only from a vendor who can give you the serial number.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent, cheap and great for gaming!,

This review is from: Processor - 1 x AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ / 2.3 GHz Energy Efficient Small Form Factor - Socket 939 AM2 - L2 1 MB ( 2 x 512 KB ) - Box (Personal Computers)
The processor.
First thing's first: make sure you previously (or immediately) download and install AMD's drivers and Dual Core Optimizer (also be sure to update your motherboard's drivers and BIOS). The first time I loaded this puppy on my freshly installed Windows XP (32bit, for compatibility's sake) computer I found it to be painfully sluggish. The culprit? System Properties showed that the Windows had detected it at as an 1.3ghz dual core turtle. I immediately installed said drivers, restarted and hello, 2.3ghz of pure beauty. It's a little sad that such detection issue makes Windows (at least XP) install as an 1.3ghz processor, which is a lot slower than if it detected the whole speed and installed as such. Besides that, I haven't had any problems with it at all. It's also great for power saving. Gaming. On the topic of gaming, this processor really performs. Basically, you will only need a medium range dual core processor to play any game thrown at us for quite a while. Alongside XFX GeForce 8600GT XXX 256MB DDR3 DUAL DVI TV PCI-E and Corsair 2GB 240 DIMM non-ECC DDR2 RAM (TWIN2X2048-6400C4), I am able to play Bioshock at 1024*768 on the highest possible settings without a hitch. Naturally, no game I've thrown has been able to slow it down (for those keeping count, that's NFS Most Wanted, STALKER, Half-Life 2, Counter Strike:Source, AoE3, CC3 Kane, Call of Duty 2, Battlefield 2, Doom 3, Farcry, SimBin's WTCC and more (I'll update when RS: Vegas arrives). It's a powerhouse processor I did not even expect (we all know those 2GB and a cheap as gaming tokens 8600GT aren't really considered "good" for gaming). Also, a recent Gamespot articles shows that a powerhouse game like Bioshock doesn't even care what type of processor you own as long as it is a dual core one ([...]). Programming. I still haven't tested it extensively, but I must say that Dev-CPP and Visual Studio 5 behave excellently (naturally, Visual Studio being a bit slower than Dev-CPP). Linux. To me, the ways to really show off your processing power is by working wit Linux. Arch Linux flies on this puppy. As simple as that. I'll go back almost completely to it once I'm done with Bioshock (ok, laugh). On Linux, dual-core optimization is great, but what really blows my mind is a (almost) completely 64bit environment (unlike Windows 64bit). This thing flies.

not a socket 939,

i was very excited today to have receive the processor for my socket 939 motherboard. when i opened the package i was disappointed to discover that i had been sent a socket AM2 processor instead. it was a great price, i guess too good to be true. if you have a socket AM2 motherboard i highly suggest jumping on this deal.
