News

AMD drops prices of Athlon II and A-Series processors
Nov 06, 2012: Last month DigiTimes reported on upcoming price reductions of older generation of AMD APUs. According to their sources, AMD was going to reduce prices of socket FM1 processors by as much as 35%. Yesterday AMD updated their official price list, and posted new prices of A-Series microprocessors, however the cuts were not as big as expected.



AMD cuts prices on older desktop models
Dec 07, 2010: With the launch of three new desktop processors today, AMD also dropped prices on many older models. Majority of price cuts were insignificant, typically in the range from 3% to 10%. The price of one microprocessor, Phenom II X4 970, was increased by $5, or by about 3%.



AMD updates Athlon II and Phenom II lineups
Sep 21, 2010: Today AMD launched 6 new desktop models, which span across six different Athlon II and Phenom II families. Also, two budget-class models, Sempron 145 and Athlon II X2 220, are now available as boxed processors. The new processors are offered in a wide range of prices, from budget dual-core Athlon II 265 at $76 and up to high-performance Phenom II 1075T at $245.



New AMD CPUs show up in retail stores
Sep 18, 2010: A few days left before AMD officially announces new refresh of Athlon II and Phenom II microprocessor line-ups. In this refresh AMD is going to introduce new dual-, triple- and quad-core Athlon II CPUs with model numbers 265, 450 and 645, and three Phenom II microprocessors - dual-core 560, quad-core 970, and six-core 1075T.



New AMD desktop CPUs are on the way
Aug 11, 2010: AMD is getting close to introducing a new wave of Athlon II and Phenom II desktop microprocessors. This time we will see a variety a CPUs from single-core Sempron 145 to six-core 1075T.



AMD boxed desktop processors for Q3/Q4 2010
Jul 28, 2010: We recently stumbled upon public AMD dealer product training document, that contains limited information about planned desktop microprocessors for the rest of this year. The document doesn't show any new processor models besides those that are already known from our stories, and from stories posted by other hardware news sites. Nevertheless, we decided to post two pages from the document as they confirm impending release of new Phenom II, Athlon II and Sempron models.



AMD Athlon II and Phenom II CPUs planned for the third quarter
Jul 20, 2010: AMD already refreshed their lines of desktop Athlon II and Phenom II families two times in 2010. First time it happened in January, when AMD released standard-power Phenom II X2 and Atlhon II microprocessors, and second time it was at the end of April and in May, when AMD introduced 6-core Phenom II processors, and updated the whole line of Athlon II CPUs. In the third quarter AMD plans an incremental upgrade for many energy-efficient and standard-power Athlon II CPUs, and will introduce a few Phenom II models.

I tried with Asus M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 no result, but ASRock 890GM Pro3 no problem, my X3 450 became Phenom II X4 B50 processor! Good job ASRock! Now I'm going to buy 880G Extreme3!

Really good chip

My ASUS M4A78LT-MLE board unlocked this into a phenom x4 B50 with a simple "press 4" on the post screen, no problems so far and it's been running almost continuously since I bought it. Saved Myself a lot of money.

Unlocked the 4th core

I was lucky enough to be able to unlock the 4th core with my gigabyte 880gm UD2H motherboard. It's been working like a charm, I ran prime 95 for about 2 hrs and saw the temperature rise to 61c and stopped, then I read on this page that it can run to 75c. I plan on overclock in the future after I read more on it. I now plan on getting a new cooler to replace the stock cooler. The programs that I am currently running are running quicker. Hope to add more to this thread.

Unlock fail!

I unlocked the forth core with a ASUS M4N68T-M V2. Now running a Phenom II X4 B50 saved me some money to and it is not guaranteed that the core will be stable or not.

With Asus M4A88T-M no result

I succeeded in unlocking my AMD Athlon II x3 450 with the GIGABYTE GA-880G-UD3H. It now says AMD Phenom(tm) II x4 B50. There was a setting under the M.I.T. option in the BIOS that has to be set from "NORMAL" to "HYBRID" and then you just select the cores. It worked like a dream, its been running for 2 days now without any problems, although the CPU temp has risen quite rapidly, poking at 70 degrees Celsius when i stress my system; probably have to upgrade my heat-sink to ensure more heat dissipation.
