AMD AM3 Athlon II X2 270u Processor AD270USCK23GM CPU - Discount Prices, Technical Specs and Reviews

Overview

The AMD AD270USCK23GM CPU is a Dual Core release in the Ultra Low Power Range of AM3 Processors.  It is currently the highest specification release but even so does not use more than 25 Watts of power.  It is the fastest speed clocking at 2000MHz and with the 2 x 1MB L2 Cache is quite impressive especially comparing to the other Athlon II CPU's which seem to differ mainly in speed and for some an increased Cache size.  Like the other Low Power versions it utilises the same DDR2/DDR3 memory controller and can be used in an AM2+ motherboard or an AM3 one.

Manufacturer : AMD

AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) are a Processor Design and Manufacturing company, they are most well known for their ranges of Desktop PC Processors but also supply Mobile and Server Processors.  The latter being primarily for cloud computing and virtualization environments.  AMD devices are used everywhere from the smallest PC to state of the art Super Computers.  Their purchase of ATI in 2006 has led to AMD developing CPU's that not only do normal processing functions but also graphics processing functions within a single chip.
