The Fastest Best-Selling Desktop Computer Processor Ever

This is really a jaw-dropping speed processor a computer can ever have. I am talking about the AMD’s Athlon X2 Dual-Core QL-64. It belongs to the AMD’s X2 multi-core processor family with an awesome CPU speed of 2.16 GHz. It is equipped with the 65nm AMD’s manufacturing technology but with a smaller wattage rate of 35 watts. It is definitely the fastest computer processor these days.

Athlon X2 Dual-Core QL-64 has two separate CPU cores on a single die. Each core is running on 2.16 GHz speed. The standard multiplier for determining the overall speed of a processor is 1.8. So when two cores are running together, Athlon X2 Dual-Core QL-64 can have an astounding speed of 1.8 X 2.16 = 3.88 GHz. You could barely feel any buffering or lagging even when you are running on different high-end multi-thread software applications all at the same time.

Athlon X2 Dual-Core QL-64 processor bus speed can also reach around 3600 MHz. Of course, the motherboard controls the bus speed so it must meet with the CPU’s bus speed for optimum performance. Bus speed is the rate at which computer processor can transfer or process information (with different computer parts like motherboard and RAM) per second. Typical bus speed for motherboard would be 4000 MHz and RAM capacity of 4 GB.

Athlon X2 Dual-Core QL-64 has a shared L2 cache memory of 1000 KB (1 BM). The CPU static L1 cache can store information at 128 KB. When this L1 cache is consumed upon computer operation, L2 cache can store up to 1000 KB of data for processing and file swapping. With Athlon X2 Dual-Core QL-64 wattage rate of 35 watts, it reduces the chance of having processor overheat. It also consumes power at a lesser rate almost half of common Intel multi-core processors.
