hands down the one of the best processors amd has ever made. it was so damn good. to this day its better than any of the processors amd has released outside of the 8350 and thats only because the 8350 can out overclock it.

have fun guessing your load

outta my way amd fucking shits

>>52929705
you srsly turn off HT?

>>52929717
sry your cpu lagged out and the img failed to load

apologies

>>52929725
No, when I had it I used it, now my CPU doesn't even have it anymore.
But it's extremely confusing to read load times with HT, literally nobody knows what the "real" load is when HT is on, you've got to guess it.
It doesn't matter really, but once I neede precise load times and I was pretty baffled that they couldn't be found precisely.

Had an Athlon II X4 620 for a while, got it for free in an old prebuilt. In a new motherboard I managed to push the damn thing from 2.6GHz to 3.5GHz, using nothing but BCLK overclocking, pushing about 1.4 volts. Didn't even run hot.

I think in terms of CPU's, OP meant CPU's that were good price/performance when they were released and still give relatively good performance even today and will continue to do so for a few more years
for example, C2Q may be outdated, but you can still use it for games and general desktop shit just fine

That platform was a test-bed for Intel on placing L2 cache onto CPU-die. It had less L2 cache then Pentium-II of heyday, but Celeron As operate that cache at full-speed. Unlike Pentium II and III Katamis where their L2 cache operated at half clock speed.

P-III Tualatin were bitched slapped by Palomino Athlon XPs at the time. The FSB held back the P-III Tualatins.
