AMD Athlon II X3 435 Pro Reviews

bjorn3d‘s review Edit Like Unlike

We didn't expect stellar performance from the Athlon X3 435 but we also didn't expect it to have such a nice price/performance ratio. It's hard to fault an $87 CPU that can do what 90% of end users need it to do without sacrificing performance. With CPU's appearing at every price and performance point we can think of, it's almost a designer CPU market. You can pick and choose a CPU to meet your specific needs. The Athlon 2 X3 435 isn't a top end CPU but it will fit the bill for a large percentage of end users that frankly don't need or want top end performance. With a TDP of 95w it will work great for a luxury HTPC, normal computing in every day use we didn't notice much difference from our i5 870 which is a quad core.

The Athlon II processor lineup continues to be a tremendous value for the performance. The only problem is AMD's processors are priced so close together that it can be a tough decision on which to buy. Currently, the Athlon II X4 620 quad core processor is probably the best bang for the buck, costing only $99. However, if you are on a tighter budget there certainly are plenty of dual and triple core AMD Athlon II processors to chose from well below $100.

The Athlon II X3 435 is a socket AM3 processor, so it's compatible with AMD's most recent Socket AM3 motherboards and socket AM2+ motherboards as well. If you already own an AMD-based PC and want to make a quick and painless upgrade to multi-core processing, this is an affordable choice.

Athlon II X3 processors look like a very good and, most importantly, timely solution, which we have every right to recommend to those users who work with resource-hungry software applications and value the advantages of multi-core architectures. Of course, new triple-core processors have a few drawbacks.

In terms of absolute bang for buck, the 720's triple-core configuration is slightly off target. AMD's cheaper Athlon II X4 620 does multi-threading better and the dual-core Phenom II X2 550 is a better gaming chip. The fact that the fourth core in our sample is a dud also serves as a useful warning. Core unlocking doesn't always work.

For now, AMD has an impressive product in the Athlon II X3 435. With low prices, a great deal of selection, and good scalability, these CPUs are sure to score AMD favor with the value crown in the months to come.

For those who don't edit video or often use multi-threaded programs, this triple-core CPU offers performance similar to costlier quad-core CPUs.
