Four Powerful Processing Cores

With the Phenom II X4 series, AMD engineers have combined four cores into a single processor, giving you enough processing muscle for even the most highly threaded applications. Each core is equipped with 512K L2 cache, and all four cores share 6MB L3 smart cache between them. AMD has also included an ultra-wide, 4000MT/s bandwidth--enough to support all four cores effectively.

For users, this means that you'll be able to run all the latest software without the slowdown you'd experience with an inferior processor. Your computer will be able to handle multiple programs at once, and high-definition media players and video editors will run smoothly and efficiently. You'll also be able to enjoy next-gen games without any frame-rate hiccups.

The X4 945 also has a high overclocking ceiling, giving enthusiasts plenty of headroom to increase their chip's frequency. With a little tweaking, you can lift your processor's performance to even greater heights.

Cutting-Edge Technologies for Faster Processing

The Phenom II X4 also makes use of several other performance-boosting technologies, including:

HyperTransport Bandwidth: Speeds up communication between the processor and memory, improving overall system performance.
Integrated Memory Controller: Actively scales bandwidth uses to match your computing needs, dramatically reducing slowdown.
128-bit Floating-Point Unit (FPU): Allows processor to execute floating-point calculations with extreme speed.

Gaming without Slowdown

PC gaming continues to improve at a breakneck rate, with graphics, physics, and AI growing more realistic each year. But you'll need more than just a good graphics card to keep up with the latest games. For certain games that are heavily threaded, a slow CPU can quickly become a bottleneck for performance and can ruin your gaming experience.

Fortunately, the Phenom II X4 series has been specifically designed to handle CPU-intensive games. With its multiple cores, the processor can manage thousands of high-speed gaming calculations at once. The result is a smooth, immersive gaming experience, free of any stuttering or latency.

The Ultimate in Energy Efficiency and Cooling

AMD products are known for their stellar energy efficiency and the Phenom II X4 945 is no exception. The processor features AMD's proprietary PowerNow and CoolCare technology, which allow the processor to smartly regulate its own energy consumption. Having an energy-efficient computer doesn't just help keep costs down; it also generates less heat and helps your computer to run more quietly. It will even prolong your processor's life cycle, so you can enjoy it for years without having to worry about degradation.

The AMD Phenom II X4 945 Quad-Core Processor is backed by a three-year warranty.
