AMD just launched a pair of dual-core Socket AM2+ processors, which may sound like dull news in these days of quad-core CPU power but stick with us as there’s a tale worth telling We last reviewed a dual core more than a year ago. 3d Architecte Expert Cad V 2011 Torrent. This was a 3.2GHz 6400+ model built on a 90nm fabrication process and it drew 1.4V to break the 3GHz mark with the result that it had a TDP of 125W – that’s horribly toasty for a relatively lowly dual-core processor.

To make matters worse it was clear that AMD’s K8 technology was at its limits as the potential for overclocking was non-existent. Names are relatively trivial but the hardware is important and the specification of Athlon X2 owes everything to Phenom. The transistor count has climbed to 450 million, just like the Phenom X3 8750 we used as a comparison in our testing, and the TDP is also the same, at 95W. The Athlon X2 7750 Black Edition has a clock speed of 2.7GHz and sells for around £80inc VAT while the 2.5GHz Athlon X2 7550 is an OEM model that will end up inside budget PCs. There is 512KB of L2 cache per core for a total of 1MB (as this is a dual core processor) and there’s also an extra layer of cache, aptly named L3. There’s 2MB of this which is shared across both cores. These new Athlon X2s also use the faster HyperTransport 3.0 connection found in Phenom with a maximum clock speed of 1.8GHz in each direction, instead of the 1GHz speed of Athlon 64.

This enables a potential 41.5GB/s of bandwidth, which is double that of the outgoing Athlon 64 X2s. It is impossible to tell whether AMD has disabled functioning cores to convert a Phenom X4 or X3 to arrive at Athlon X2, whether it is making the most of faulty Phenom cores that are otherwise headed for the scrap heap, or if it’s a dedicated dual-core design. What we do know is that Phenom X4 9750 runs at 2.4GHz (and costs about £125) and Phenom X3 8750 also has a clock speed of 2.4GHz, along with a price of £105. The new Athlon X2 7750 is clocked at 2.7GHz which is even faster than the Phenom X4 9950 which manages a measly 2.6GHz. We can speculate that AMD is able to crank up the speed of the core as it can manage power and heat better in a dual core model than is possible in a quad core Phenom.

Introduction AMD has had a rocky start to its latest architectural update. K10 has had its major downs, suffering the TLB bug in the B1 and B2 stepping cores. When they were first introduced to market, they were the plague CPU; as in, every one avoided them like the plague!

- It took many months for AMD to write this problem out, but B3 promised a fix and eventually delivered. Phenom really didn't deliver what AMD was hoping, in fact it was clock for clock well behind the 8 ball compared to Intel's Core 2 Duo. While Phenom wasn't able to compete on the enthusiast platform, AMD has kept things interesting with its prices, trying to undercut Intel at every chance they can, and quite rightly so, a quad-core Phenom X4 can be had for almost nothing these days. While it wasn't the success that AMD really wanted, it wasn't a monumental failure; Phenom delivers more processing power per core than a similarly clocked K8 processor, which is impressive none the less.

Today we have been sent the latest update to the Athlon 64 family in the way of the Athlon X2 7750 Black Edition clocked at 2.7GHz and unlocked. Read on as we take a look how it performs.
