Perfect for old AMD PCs
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought this CPU to revive my 10 years old PC as a secondary gaming computer for guests. Before I had a compatible 2 core CPU with a tiny bit higher clock rate in it, that worked still but was simply not enough for many games any more.
After some research I determined that this model is basically the best CPU to get to upgrade Phenom II series (AM3 socket) old PCs with if you had a 2x core or 3x core before. The per core performance is no better but modern programs and games are much more able to take advantage of 4 threads. This is also black edition CPU for easy overclocking and, as it is downgraded 6x core CPU, it has turbo boost feature too. (Incidentally I would not suggest 6x core CPUs instead of this because their per core performance will be worse because of thermal limits and if you really need big paralel computing power just buy modern Ryzen for the same price, as x6 Phenom ii are still very expensive!)
After this upgrade I am even able to marginally run ARMA3 on this CPU (just barely tho) which is really impressive for 10 year old CPU. It runs perfectly fine on stock AMD cooler, although I haven't tried overclocking it yet.
Please note tho, that you should check your motherboards sported CPUs list before buying and it is possible that you will have to update to the latest BIOS (with the old CPU still in it!) before being able to boot with this as this CPU came out some after most old motherboards.
