Product ReviewsAMD Athlon II X3 450 3.2GHz Triple-Core (ADX450WFK32GM) Processor

Nice option if you wanna gamble and get a 4-core CPU

This CPU is a 3-core Athlon II X3, but with a proper southbridge and some luck you may get a working 4-core Phenom II X4 processor without L3 cache. My own tests show that absence of L3 cache introduces a 5-7% performance penalty relative to a comparably clocked Phenom II X4. I was able to unlock the fourth core without any problem, but the TDP went up from 95W to 125W. So be sure you have a motherboard that can handle 125W processors, if you want to unlock the 4-th core.
Three-core performance is not so impressive, and an Athlon II X2 at a higher clock almost reaches it (probably because of the larger cache per core).Read full review...
