How does AMD respond to Lynnfield? Is it by drastically cutting prices on Phenom II? Nope. By introducing the world’s first quad-core processor to debut at $99. Now that’s cool.
It’s called the Athlon II X4 and its existence shouldn’t be any surprise. AMD quietly announced it along with the Athlon II X2 line.
Today we get two models: the Athlon II X4 630 and the Athlon II X4 620, priced at $122 and $99 respectively. The only difference between the two is clock speed; the 630 runs at 2.8GHz while the 620 runs at 2.6GHz. These are both AM3 chips meaning they’ll work in AM3 motherboards with DDR3 memory or AM2+ boards with DDR2 memory.

This isn’t a harvested Phenom II nor is it a pair of Athlon II X2s, instead it looks like we have a brand new die on our hands (some Athlon II X4s will be crippled Phenom IIs but AMD insists that the new die will be used). The Athlon II X4 has four cores on a single die, but unlike the Athlon II X2 each core only has a 512KB L2 per core. You can tell by the die shot that the core-to-cache ratio is much higher than on the X2:
The 45nm Athlon II X4 Propus die
The 45nm Athlon II X2 die (note the larger L2 per core)
Like the rest of the Athlon II lineup there is no L3 cache. This helps keep the die small (and affordable) but also hurts performance:

At the same clock speed the Athlon II X4 should offer roughly 90% of the performance of a Phenom II X4.
Processor | Cores | Manufacturing Process | L1 Cache | L2 Cache | L3 Cache | Die Size | Transistor Count |
AMD Phenom II X4 | 4 | 45nm | 128KB per core | 512KB per core | 6MB | 258 mm2 | 758M |
AMD Athlon II X4 | 4 | 45nm | 128KB per core | 512KB per core | 0MB | 169 mm2 | 300M |
AMD Athlon II X2 | 2 | 45nm | 128KB per core | 1MB per core | 0MB | 117 mm2 | 234M |
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8xxx | 4 | 45nm | 64KB per core | 4MB | 0MB | 164 mm2 | 456M |
The price is unbeatable. If we ignore the 630 for a moment, the Athlon II X4 620 is by far the cheapest route to four cores on the market. Intel’s most affordable quad-core is the Core 2 Quad Q8200 at $163, while AMD would previously charge you $163 for a Phenom X4 9600B. This is where the AM3/AM2+ compatibility play really helps out. Motherboard/memory costs are as cheap as possible thanks to AMD’s incredible socket flexibility.
And just in case you’re wondering, yes, the Athlon II X4 620 actually delivers performance competitive with the Q8200 but for 60% of the cost. It’s not all that clear cut, there are some cases where the 620 is faster but others where the Q8200 is much faster. On average it ends up being a wash but you’ll want to pay attention to the coming pages to see how the cookie crumbles as it does vary from test to test.
Codename Propus
Overclocking isn’t unfortunately as good as the Phenom IIs; the result of a conscious design decision or simply the early nature of the Propus die. That being said, without a single extra millivolt I was able to hit 3.25GHz on my Athlon II X4 620 sample — making it even more valuable. Extra voltage proved mostly useless, I could only approach 3.4GHz with an extra 300mV.
Let’s see, have I thoroughly ruined the surprise? Check. Now let’s get to the tests.

Athlon II X4 630 & 620: Affordable Quad Cores
The newly released Athlon II X4 630 and 620 finally bring quad core performance to the $100 level. With respective prices of $120 and $100, the high value X4 630 and X4 630 continue AMD’s sniping of Intel.

The first quad core processors from AMD, the original Phenom line, failed to
top the performance of Intel’s offerings due in part to low clock speeds and
high power consumption. Even though they were modestly priced, they still did
not offer enough value to sway most high-end PC builders to AMD’s side. As a
result, Intel never felt the need to compete with AMD on price, and continued
to attach a price premium to their quad core CPUs. Phenom
II helped AMD get back into the game, but they continued too kept their
quad cores at a distance with $200+ price-tags. The poor, unwashed masses with
only $100 to spare could not dream of having any more than a simple dual core
CPU.

The newly released Athlon II X4 630 and 620 finally brings quad core computing
to the $100 level. With respective prices of $120 and $100, the 2.8 GHz X4 630
and 2.6 GHz X4 620 takes a serious stab at undercutting the $140 Q8200, currently
Intel’s cheapest quad core. Like the Athlon II X2, the X4 models lack the ample
L3 cache of the Phenom II’s. While this will undoubtedly have an impact on performance,
it also makes manufacturing these CPUs much cheaper. With prices like these,
even the most frugal PC builders will be compelled to take a look.

Besides the Q8200, the X4 630’s main competition comes from its own triple
core cousin, the X3 720 Black Edition. The lower clocked X4 620 really has no
equal as its price puts it squarely in dual core country. Its performance against
its closest rivals, the Pentium E6500 and X2 550 Black Edition will depend mainly
on the application, and whether it supports multiple threads.

varying size with many of them being file RAR and ZIP archives. - WinRAR: Archive creation with a folder containing 68 files of varying
size (less than 50MB). - iTunes: Conversion of an MP3 file to AAC.
- TMPGEnc Xpress: Encoding a 1-minute long XVID AVI file to VC-1 (1280×720,
30fps, 20mbps).
Our testing procedure is designed to determine the overall system power consumption
at various states (measured using a Seasonic Power Angel). To stress CPUs we
used Prime95 (large FFTs setting) or CPUBurn (which produced the higher power
draw). We also performed a short series of benchmarks featuring real-world timed
tests and synthetics.
Cool’n’Quiet and/or Intel SpeedStep were enabled (unless otherwise noted).
The following features/services were disabled during testing to prevent spikes
in CPU/HDD usage that are typical of fresh Vista installations:
- Windows Sidebar
- Indexing
- Superfetch
Undervolting
Testing was also conducted with the main processors undervolted as low as possible
while remaining stable enough to survive Prime95’s torture test for 10 minutes.
Power savings from undervolting can be significant and the reduction in thermal
dissipation also makes for easier cooling. We managed to undervolt our X4 630
from 1.325V down to 1.200V. Our X4 620 sample had a higher stock voltage, 1.400V,
which we were able to decrease to 1.1625V.

TEST RESULTS
Our test systems consist of 2x2GB of DDR3 memory, a GeForce 9400GT graphics
card, WD VelociRaptor hard drive and an OEM Seasonic power supply. Unfortunately
we did not have a Q8200 at our disposal so instead we a Q8200S (the 45W
version of the Q8200) and a Q6600, an older 95W 65 nm processor using a slower
1066 MHz front bus, but with a higher 2.4 GHz clock speed and twice as much
L2 cache. It is safe to assume an actual Q8200 will fall somewhere in-between
these two processors in terms of power consumption. The ambient temperature
was 22°C.

*X4 630 undervolted by 0. |
Overall the X4 630 consistently used about 5W more than the lower clocked X4
620, not enough to be considered significant. Both proved to be more power efficient
than their Phenom II cousins, the X3 720 and X4 810, but only when idle or with
a light load like VC-1 video playback. It seems L3 cache creates a noticeable
energy demand. System power consumption between the two Athlon II X4’s and the
95W Q6600 were also similar except at full load where the Q6600 used 15~20W
less.
Undervolting reduced the X4 630’s full load consumption by 18W, while the X4
620 saved 29W. This was no surprise as we were able to undervolt the 620 by
almost twice the amount as the 630. When undervolted, our X4 620 sample probably
uses about the same amount of energy as a Q8200.

Our brief benchmark suite favored the Q8200S over the X4 620/630. The Q8200S
held a large lead over the two Athlons in our iTunes encoding test, and posted
smaller wins in our anti-virus and file archiving tests. The X4 620 and 630
beat Intel’s offerings in video encoding with TMPGEnc — the type of task
where quad cores typically shine. Overall we’d say the Athlon II X4’s need another
200~300 MHz to truly compete with the Q8200 in our test suite, but if you typically
use more thread-aware applications, the balance will tip in the other direction.
The 2.8 GHz Athlon II X4 630 performed similarly to the 2.6 GHz Phenom X4 810
— an extra 200 MHz in clock speed seems to make up for the 630’s lack of
L3 cache. It should be noted however that the X4 800 series has 4MB of L3 cache
while the 900 series sports 6MB.

When we calculated the total number of watt-hours used during our tests, we
found that the new Athlon II’s beat their Phenom II cousins — the X4 810
by 7% and the X3 720 by 14%. The dual core X2 550 matched their energy efficiency
due its superior performance in the simpler applications in our test suite,
thanks to its L3 cache and higher clock speed. The Q6600 used about 11% less
while the 65W Q8200S dominated both Athlons by 26%. Undervolting brought the
two processors basically on par with the Q6600.

In our open testbed, cooled by a Zerotherm FZ120 heatsink using a Nexus 120
mm fan running at ~950 RPM, the temperatures reported by SpeedFan were fairly
low. The heatsink body was also cool to the touch. When stressed with CPUBurn,
both processors stabilized at 41°C (CPU sensor) 38°C (motherboard sensor).
Undervolting resulted in a 6-7°C decrease for the X4 630, and slightly more
for the X4 620. The Nexus fan was practically inaudible from one meter — with
a good heatsink keeping the new Athlon II’s cool without much noise pollution
is a relatively simple matter.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Our timed benchmarks showed evidence that the Athlon II X4 630 and 620 perform
slightly slower than Intel’s cheapest quad core, the Q8200, in mundane everyday
tasks like anti-virus scanning and file archiving. However, there is $20~$40
price difference, so from a value standpoint, they’re about the same. On the
other hand, the Q8200 fell to both the 630 and 620 in our most demanding test,
which involved video encoding. This result was echoed by benchmarks performed
by Xbit
Labs and Anandtech
which showed that video encoding and rendering applications heavily favors AMD.
If video is your bag, but you’re hurting for cash, a X4 630 or 620 may be just
what the doctor ordered.
These new processors also complicate AMD’s lineup, with the big loser being
the Phenom II X3 series. The X4 630 is virtually the same price as the X3 720,
but it has an extra core and is more energy efficient. Pinned between the X4
640 and 630 as well as the higher-clocked Phenom II X2’s, there’s really no
place for the X3 720 anywhere in AMD’s lineup, not unless price-cuts are initiated
across the board.
Power consumption has been improved compared to the Phenom II’s, but they’re
still a step behind Intel in this regard. The difference when idle and under
light load is small though and as that’s how most systems operate during the
majority of their lifetime, it’s almost a non-issue. If you prefer to run your
system with as little power as possible, undervolting is an option. Our 630
and 620 samples undervolted well, resulting in a 8% and 11% improvements in
overall energy efficiency respectively during our timed benchmarks. Whether
at stock settings or undervolted, neither chips were difficult to cool quietly.
Removing the L3 cache from their Phenom II’s has resulted in better energy
efficiency and lower manufacturing costs which have been passed onto the consumer.
Best of all, AMD did not sacrifice much in the way of performance. The Athlon
II X4 630 and 620 represent the beginning of a new front in the age-old processor
war. They perform well enough to compete with Intel’s cheapest quad core CPU,
but with a lower price-tag. With the X4 630 and 620 going for $120 and $100
respectively, it seems that they want to put an AMD quad core processor in every
desktop. If Intel wants a piece of the action, they’ll have to lower themselves
to AMD’s level.
If you have an existing compatible AM2+/AM3 motherboard with a single/dual
core processor, or an original Phenom, the X4 630 and 620’s are attractive upgrade
options. For a new system, there are a couple of issues to consider besides
the price and performance of the CPU. The first being upgradeability —
AM3 is AMD’s latest socket, while LGA775, the only socket for which Intel has
sub-$200 processors, is all but a lame duck. Intel has shifted focus to LGA1156
and they are of course pushing their LGA775 user base to upgrade, which can
be a pricey transition given the higher cost of their motherboard chipsets.
AMD motherboards on the other hand continue to deliver more features at lower
cost, and most of them include a superior integrated graphics solution, such
as the HD 4200 incorporated in the 785G
chipset.
Our thanks to AMD

AMD Athlon II X4 620 and Athlon II X4 630 Processor Review
By Nathan Kirsch •
AMD Launches Propus For Under $100
AMD announced this morning, the first ever quad-core processor for less than $100 Suggested System Builder Price (SSBP). This is a significant announcement as quad-core processor prices have really fallen over the years and are now relatively affordable no matter what country you reside. Without further ado let’s take a look at the new processors.
AMD announced two AMD Athlon II X4 processors this morning. The AMD Athlon II X4 620 processor is the industrys first and only sub-$100 quad-core processor at this time as it is priced at $99. The other processor is the AMD Athlon II X4 630 processor, which costs $122 and has a multiplier increase that is good for a higher overall clock frequency. Both of these processors feature a 200MHz bus with a 2000MHz HT link and memory support for both DDR2 (up to 1,066 MT/s) and DDR3 (up to 1,333 MT/s). So, what is missing to make these processors so inexpensive?
Well, it seems that AMD has done away with all of the L3 cache on the AMD Athlon II X2 series. They did this by doing a double sourcing method in order to get the cores. AMD sent us an e-mail confirming that they are building AMD Athlon II X4 processors that are based on both the new ‘Propus’ 169mm die and the older ‘Deneb’ 258mm die size. When an AMD Deneb core (Phenom II X4 processor) fails the L3 cache test the L3 cache is disabled, so it basically becomes an Athlon II X4 processor. This makes good business sense as a processor isn’t being wasted due to a problem with the L3 cache. Instead, the fallout just gets stamped with a part number; in this case it will become an Athlon II. It will be interesting to see if consumers will be able unlock the L3 cache on any Deneb based AMD Athlon II X4 processors by simply enabling Advanced Clock Calibration (ACC). Companies like AsRock have been marketing how their boards unlock ‘hidden’ features like this, so time will tell. The other method uses a new die called Propus, which is designed from the ground up as an Athlon II X4 processor.
The smaller die of Propus means that it will be less expensive to manufacture and allows AMD to hit aggressive price points for quad core processors like we are seeing today as they have fallen below the $100 mark for the first time ever. They are built with the same great architecture as the Phenom II X4. That means they are built by GLOBALFOUNDARIES at Fab 1 in Dresden, Germany using the 45nm DSL SOI (silicon-on-insulator) process that all the other higher-end Phenom II processors use.
The first of the new processors that we will be looking at today will be the AMD Athlon II X4 620, which can be purchased for a cool $99.99. The processor runs between 0.925V-1.425v for normal operation and has an overall clock frequency of 2.6GHz. The processor is multiplier locked with a 13x multiplier as it is NOT a Black Edition processor. If you want to overclock this processor you’ll have to do that by increasing the 200MHz base clock. The CPU’s HT link is set to 2000MHz and features just the L2 cache level, which is 512KB of L2 per core. Featuring a 95W TDP means that the Athlon II X4 620 has the same power rating as a triple-core Phenom II processor.
Taking a closer look at the AMD Athlon II X4 630 processor with CPU-Z 1.52.2 you can see that this is a quad-core processor based off the ‘Propus’ core again, but the clock frequency is 2.8GHz. The processor is multiplier locked just like the Athlon II X4 620 processor, but it has a higher 14x multiplier. All the other features between the two processors are the same, so it, too, is a multiplier locked processor. The higher multiplier should be of interest to overclockers as a result. For an extra $30 the multiplier jump alone should be enough to justify the price premium. Speaking of price, let’s take a look at the Phenom II and Athlon II processor pricing.

The AMD Phenom II and Athlon II product stack is strong as usual with prices starting out at just $53 for the AMD Athlon II X2 240 and rising up to $179 for the Phenom II X4 965 BE. The AMD Athlon II X4 630 is nearly twice the price of the AMD Athlon II X2 240 and rightly so as it has double the cores. When an Athlon II X4 processor is combined with a sub-$100 motherboard featuring the AMD 785G chipset, you can clearly see that AMD has a great platform at a very solid price point for Windows 7 when it launches next month.
It seems AMD has their processors priced right, so let’s get to testing to see how these new budget friendly processors do against a few dozen others.

The performance of 1 core has the greatest impact on the result, since most of these applications use only one, ignoring the rest.
Similarly, many professional applications such as various CADs ignore multi-threaded performance.

The performance of all cores and their number have the greatest impact on the result, since most of these applications willingly use all the cores and increase the speed accordingly.
At the same time, certain periods of work can be demanding on the performance of one or two cores, for example, applying filters in the editor.

Different tasks require different CPU strengths. A system with few fast cores and low memory latency will be fine for the vast majority of games, but will be inferior to a system with a lot of slow cores in a rendering scenario.
We believe that a minimum of 4/4 (4 physical cores and 4 threads) processor is suitable for a budget gaming PC. At the same time, some games can load it at 100%, slow down and freeze, and performing any tasks in the background will lead to a drop in FPS.
Ideally, the budget shopper should aim for a minimum of 4/8 and 6/6. A gamer with a big budget can choose between 6/12, 8/8 and 8/16. Processors with 10 and 12 cores can perform well in games with high frequency and fast memory, but are overkill for such tasks. Also, buying for the future is a dubious undertaking, since in a few years many slow cores may not provide sufficient gaming performance.
When choosing a processor for your work, consider how many cores your programs use. For example, photo and video editors can use 1-2 cores when working with filtering, and rendering or converting in the same editors already uses all threads.
Data obtained from tests by users who tested their systems both with overclocking (maximum value in the table) and without (minimum). A typical result is shown in the middle, the more filled in the color bar, the better the average result among all tested systems.
Benchmarks
Benchmarks were run on stock hardware, that is, without overclocking and with factory settings. Therefore, on overclocked systems, the points can noticeably differ upwards. Also, small performance changes may be due to the BIOS version.

Benchmarks
Overall performance rating
The rating is calculated according to an internal formula, taking into account all the data: test results in all benchmarks, number of cores and threads, instructions, overclocking technologies, release year, clock frequency, socket, structure, temperature mode, and other characteristics. The results of the overall rating showed that Athlon II X4 630 surpasses its rival Phenom II N9 in most parameters.50. The Phenom II N950 barely scores 1879 points compared to its competitor.
PassMark CPU Mark
All of our CPUs passed the PassMark tests. The benchmark includes a large set of tools for large-scale evaluation of personal computer data, including the CPU. Among which are integer calculations, extended instructions checking, floating point calculations, encryption, compression, game physics calculations, multi-threaded and single-threaded tests. In particular, it is possible to compare the obtained indicators with other configurations in the database. This is perhaps the most common benchmark on the web. Performance Test Shows Slightly Better Phenom II N9 Processor Performance50 (2485 points) over the Athlon II X4 630 (2061 points). The Athlon II X4 630 falls slightly behind in this test.
Cinebench 10 (32 bit) Single-threaded test
It is possible to test multi-processor systems. The Single-Core version in its test uses only one rendering thread and one core. Works on Mac, Windows operating systems. Uses the method of geometric optics — ray tracing. MAXON appeared, it was based on the 3D editor Cinema 4D. This benchmark for testing video cards and processors is already obsolete by now. The main performance testing mode is multi-level reflections, working with light, simulated global illumination, spatial lights, photorealistic rendering of a 3D scene, and procedural shaders.
Cinebench 10 (32 bit) Multi-threaded test
Multi Core is another way to test in Cinebench R10 benchmark, which uses multi-threaded and multi-core testing mode. It is important to note that the possible number of threads in this version is limited to sixteen.
Cinebench 11.5 (64-bit) Multi-threaded test
Multi-threaded version of the CINEBENCH 11.5 benchmark, it has the ability to test the processor to the fullest, using all threads and cores. It differs from previous versions, 64 threads are already used here. Testing the Athlon II X4 630 in the Cinebench R11.5 benchmark gave 3.26 points, which indicates a higher performance of this model. While Phenom II N9The 50 gets 2. 27 points, far behind its rival in this test.
Cinebench 11.5 (64-bit) Single-threaded test
Good old multifunctional Cinebench 11.5 from Maxon. In tests, as before, ray tracing technology is used, a high-polygonal 3D space is calculated with a large number of crystalline and glass and translucent spheres. His tests are still relevant. In this Single-Core variant, tests are performed using one core and one thread. The result of the test is the «frames per second» parameter. The single-thread test results for the Athlon II X4 630 in Cinebench 11.5 Single-Core showed high performance compared to the competitor, with a score of 0.68 points. But the Phenom II N9 itself50, scoring 0.47 points in this test, is far behind it.
Cinebench 15 (64-bit) Multi-thread test
Multi-Thread version of Cinebench 15 — will load your assembly to the fullest, demonstrating everything it can. All cores and threads of the central processor are involved in the process of rendering complex 3D models. The program is ideal for testing new multi-threaded processors from AMD and Intel, as it is capable of using 256 threads. The Athlon II X4 630, with a score of 253.81, unequivocally scores higher in Cinebench 15’s Multi-Core test. While its rival Phenom II N950 is far behind with a score of 190.09 in the test.
Cinebench 15 (64-bit) Single-threaded test
Cinebench Release 15 is the most up-to-date benchmark from the Finnish Maxon development team. In the Single Core version, only 1 thread is involved in rendering. It tests the entire system: both processors and video cards. For CPU, the result of the analysis will be the value of PTS points, and for graphics controllers — the number of frames per second FPS.

Multi Core version of Geekbench 3 benchmark — can allow you to arrange a powerful stress test on your PC and show how stable your system is.
Geekbench 3 (32 bit) Single-threaded test
The 32-bit version of the benchmark loads one thread and one CPU core. The Geekbench multi-platform tester is usually used to evaluate the system under Mac, but it can work on both Windows and Linux. The main purpose is to check the speed of processors.
Geekbench 2
In our archive you can find about two hundred processor models that have test data in this program. To date, there are newer versions, the current fifth and fourth. An outdated version of the Geekbench 2 benchmark.
X264 HD 4.0 Pass 1
This is a practical test of processor performance through transcoding HD files to H.264, the so-called MPEG 4 x264 codec. This test is faster compared to Pass 2, because the calculation is done at a constant speed. Ideal test for multi-threaded CPUs and many cores. The frame rate processed per second is the result of the check. The MPEG 4 video processing speed of the Athlon II X4 630 is significantly higher and amounts to 71.93 fps. But the Phenom II N950 did a poor job, its speed was 53.33 FPS.
X264 HD 4.0 Pass 2
This is a slightly different, slower test based on video file compression. You need to understand that a real task is being simulated, and the x264 codec is used in many video programs. The result is a better quality video file. The final value is also determined by frames per second. The same MPEG4 x264 codec is used, but the rendering is already done at a non-constant rate. That is why the test results realistically reflect the performance of the system. When measuring the speed of video file compression by the Athlon II X4 630 processor in mpeg4 format, the result was 15. 98 FPS Its rival Phenom II N950 showed a much lower video encoding rate compared to it — 12.06 FPS.
3DMark06 CPU
Benchmark for testing video system and CPU. This test is very often used by gamers and overclockers and those who like to overclock the system. Based on DirectX 9.0 by Futuremark. Processors are tested in two ways: an artificial intelligence calculates the pathfinding, and another test emulates a physics engine using PhysX. The Athlon II X4 630 performed much faster in the pathfinding and game physics tests, scoring 3733.72 points. The Phenom II N9 processor coped worse with this task50 received 2974 points.
3DMark Fire Strike Physics
Approximately two hundred processors on our website have 3DMark Fire Strike Physics test data. It represents a test that performs game physics calculations.
WinRAR 4.0
A well-known data archiver. The tests were performed under the Windows operating system. The compression speed was checked by the RAR algorithm, for this purpose huge volumes of randomly generated files were used. The resulting speed during compression «kilobytes per second» — this is the result of testing. Athlon II X4 630 has a clear advantage in WinRAR data compression and packing speed, the result of file processing is 2150 Kb/s. Phenom II N9 is far behind him50, the speed of which did not exceed 1278.9 Kb / s.
TrueCrypt AES
This is not exactly a benchmark, but the results of its use can evaluate the performance of the system. Unfortunately support for this project was discontinued in 2014. It includes the ability to encrypt disk partitions on the fly. Our site shows the results of encryption speed in gigabytes per second using the AES algorithm. It can run on different Linux, Windows and Mac OS X operating systems.
