AMD Athlon II X4 620 CPU Review

Xtreme Computing have a review of the AMD Athlon II X4 620 CPU, a good value processor that has some real potential:

If you can’t quite stretch to the X4 Phenom range of CPU’s then you should DEFINATELY get one of these. Don’t buy a dual or triple core Phenom on the off chance it might unlock to a quad, buy a quad it’s the only way to guarantee 4 cores. I have heard, and seen evidence on the web, that some of these also unlock to “Phenoms” i.e. you are able to “unlock” the extra onboard cache when enabling ACC etc from within the bios but mine didn’t, I don’t know if it’s due to the shipping with the F1 bios or my chip just won’t unlock, I couldn’t update the bios as other than the home page the Gigabyte website seemed to be down.
