Product Information
If you are seeking to get a faster, more powerful performance from your desktop, install the AMD FX-6100 processor into your tower system. As part of the professional-grade FX series, the AMD Black Edition FX-6100 is built for multitasking, and it is able to handle several software applications at once without slowing your system down. The core architecture in the FX series is named "Bulldozer," due to its ability to provide such a strong performance in multitasking. It is also excellent for gaming and work functions as this CPU can support intensive graphics and complex programs. In general, the more cores in a CPU, the faster and more efficient it will run. This certainly holds true with the AMD FX-6100. It boasts a six-core processor that reaches an average speed of 3.4 GHz. With the turbo boost enabled, your computer will run at 3.6 GHz. The CPU can reach an overclocking speed of 3.9 GHz once max turbo has been engaged. At these speeds, your system can process information, open up additional programs, and interpret data seamlessly. With the hexa core processor able to operate this quickly, you won't need to worry about your system freezing or lagging behind. It has a thermal design power rating of 95W on average at peak performance, and it runs approximately 156W, and 75W when idle. Also, it can operate up to 70 degrees Celsius, so a separate cooling system is not necessary. There are three levels of cache memory available. The L1 gives you 288KB of memory, while the total L2 is 6MB. The 8MB of L3 cache memory will allow you to achieve fast recall for the programs you access most frequently. This processor offers 64-bit computing, which will allow you to install and use more RAM. It supports DDR3 1866 RAM and has a built-in memory controller. Depending on the amount of RAM you install, it can reach a bandwidth of up to 29,866.66 MB/s. It also supports ECC and dual channels. The compatible processor socket for this CPU is a Socket AM3 and will fit in any AM3+ motherboards. If you combine this processor with an AMD 9-series chipset motherboard and a Radeon GPU, it will give you a powerhouse of a system for video processing, gaming, and more. These three pieces of hardware will provide you with gorgeous high definition graphics that are powered by VISION FX Technology. Whether you are streaming video, editing pictures, or playing a video game, your system will be able to keep up easily. The AMD Black Edition CPU provides solid benchmarks of quality in speed and operations. Offering power and efficiency, this is a remarkable piece of hardware that will allow you to maximize the quickness and performance potential of your desktop system.
