AMD AM3 Athlon II X2 250u Processor AD250USCK23GQ CPU - Discount Prices, Technical Specs and Reviews

Overview

The AMD AD250USCK23GQ CPU is one of the Dual Core versions in the Ultra Low Power Range of AM3 Processors.  It has the same in built DDR2/DDR3 memory controller so can be used on AM2+ motherboards as well as AM3 and although most of the specs are the same as most of the Athlon II X2 CPU's in this range it is speed where it differs.  It runs at a significantly lower speed but as a consequence has a very low power usage of only 25 Watts which is staggeringly low for a Dual Core CPU.

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.
