Product Information
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ GHz Dual-Core processors offer high-end processing speeds that are accessible for a wide range of computer users. The specs for this chip are very impressive and powerful. AMD has a reputation for delivering high-quality CPUs, and their Athlon series dual core CPU is no exception. Athlon X2 processors come with built-in ATI Radeon Graphics technology for crisp, vivid images and videos on your monitor. This means you don't need a dedicated graphics card in order to run 3D graphics smoothly. Should you decide that you do want a separate GPU, AMD offers a line of graphics cards and accessories that work incredibly well with these CPUs. The company has software designed to improve performance with AMD hardware, meaning speeds are boosted for both components. With a very impressive L1 and L2 cache and capacity for both 32-bit and 64-bit processing, the AMD Athlon 64 gives users the ability to accomplish a wide range of tasks at a fast and efficient rate. These include computing tasks that are data-intensive, such as playing a game or multimedia editing, as well as running multiple tasks that are less demanding. For these reasons, this processor works beautifully as a core component in a PC build, especially if you're interested in playing games. The 2.7 GHz CPU runs most modern games without any issues, and it offers decent graphical rendering without the need for a separate GPU. With two physical cores, the Athlon X2 features technology that allows it to run multiple threads inside those cores, making it an absolute beast when it comes to multitasking performance. The AM2 socket type means that this chip will work with any motherboard that supports DDR2 RAM and contains AM2 sockets, such as those made by Asus, ASRock, and Gigabyte. This is terrific news for anyone looking to build a gaming desktop on a tight budget. The raw tech power that you will find in this AMD CPU makes it an excellent option. While this CPU's core clock speed of 2.7GHz is more than enough for your basic computer needs, techies and hackers can squeeze a bit more juice out of this CPU by overclocking it. With a few tweaks, customers have managed to max their clock speeds to 3.1GHz with a powerful cooling system in order to run stably. Users can squeeze an extra 100MHz or so out of these chips on average without any heat issues. With the Athlon X2, you can expect great results. Whether you’re online gaming, rendering video footage, or drafting, this AMD Athlon chip is a great option. You’ll notice that it’s more than fast enough to handle all of your web browsing needs as well. Apart from processing speed, the AMD Athlon 64 features great performances in many other aspects of computing. These include energy efficiency, the ability to process more threads of information, enhanced visuals, and dynamic thermal management. Because of these numerous benefits, AMD's hardware are renowned by gamers and tech enthusiasts, and this chip is a shining example of their signature level of quality.Product Identifiers
