AMD Athlon X2

Verdict

An old standard, but one that still provides decent performance at a great price.

Review Date: 16 Apr 2008

Price when reviewed: to £92

Overall Rating
5 stars out of 6

For the average desktop, however, where the emphasis is on productivity rather than number-crunching or advanced gaming, the Athlon is a great little processor. In the past few years, the brand may have been overshadowed by a deluge of super-powerful chips from Intel, but for the money you still can't do better.
