Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm gamer but not extreme, with this I can play anything combined with other stuff of course. I made some O.C. and it runs perfect. I added a Zalman Fan Cooler to prevent overheating. Recomended!

Product 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. For 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%. 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. 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.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 5000+ 2.6 GHz Processor with 1024KB L2 Cache and 64-Watt Socket AM2 (ADO5000DSWOF) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Upgrading from an Athlon 64 3700+ 939 to the Athlon 64 X2 5000+ AM2 shows noticable differences in performance at stock settings. Opening applications seems instant and start up and shut down times are so fast you can't blink or you'll miss them.

(I upgraded to Vista along with this processor and, to tell you the truth, Vista runs better than XP as far as I'm concerned. Computer starts up in less than 15 seconds {including motherboard bios screen} and shuts off in less than 6 seconds.)

I was able to overclock this processor from 2.6 GHz to 3.0 GHz without adjusting the voltage and it be stable. (I was able to do that due to there being no core multiplier restriction. Make sure your motherboard can do this before you purchase this processor!) I could easily get another .2 GHz out of this processor by messing with the voltage multiplier, still have a stock AM2 heatsink and fan on it, and it be stable. Not only that, but the processor temps were just over room temperature.

I haven't tested it, but if you have a very nice aftermarket heatsink and fan or watercooling in your PC, you might be able to get it to overclock further and be stable. I'm some what limited due to the processor being in a micro-ATX case as airflow and space are limited.

I dought you can find an Intel chip with this kind of performance at this price.

NOTE: This processor is built for the overclocker in mind as it doesn't come with a heatsink and fan. This would be the only con for this product if it could be considered a con.
