Cheap AMD Processors - Money Savers
Whenever we hear the word 'cheap', most of us cringe. The reason is not far to seek. The word 'cheap' carries a negative connotation. In a sense the word 'cheap' is relative, because what one appears cheap to one may appear costly in the eyes of another. So one cannot be sure whether an article or thing is really cheap unless the majority view is that it is cheap. There is another angle to the concept of an article being cheap since most of us seem to have the idea that anything that comes cheap cannot be or is not good. In other words, we tend to carry the notion that there is bound to be something wrong with the article, be it a computer, a processor, whatever, and we presume that, that is the reason that it is being offered cheap. While there is a possibility of this belief we carry being confirmed on some occasions, it may not or need not always be true.
Of late, the computer processor industry has been going overboard to attract customers by offering the latest in technology at cheap prices. Thanks to this trend, we have processors at rates going down hill and cheaper than ever before.
AMD processors are products of AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) based in Sunnyvale, California founded in 1969, and its core business has been to provide microprocessor and graphics and media solutions for the computer, communications, and consumer electronics industries. Today with corporate locations at Austin, Texas; and Markham, Ontario, 16,500 employees spread across 80 locations and manufacturing facilities in the U.S., Europe and Asia, AMD has processor products tailored to suit the varied needs of the customers. Broadly, the processors produced by AMD can be classified into four types of processors based on the products that use them. Thus we have the following list:
Desktop Processors AMD offers two types of Desktop Processors -AMD Athlon and the AMD Sempron. Notebook Processors: AMD has AMD Turion64 X2 Dual-Core and AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor for Notebook PCs. Mobile Processors AMD also offers, Mobile AMD Sempron for mobiles. Server Processors and Workstation Processors When it comes to server processors and workstation processors, AMD Opteron which is claimed to be 'the world's highest-performing processors for 1-8P x86 servers,' is AMD's offering. Discussed below are some Cheap AMD Processors available in the market at the time of writing. AMD Athlon AMD Athlon processors with 2000MHz bi-directional Hyper Transport technology - enable performance tuning - offer Enhanced Virus Protection. AMD Sempron AMD Sempron with AMD64 Technology - Hyper Transport technology - 256KB cache, One 16-bit/16-bit link @ 1600MHz full duplex system bus technology - integrated DDR2 memory controller - Enhanced Virus Protection. AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor Features Direct Connect Architecture for enhanced performance - Hyper Transport technology - AMD Digital Media XPress - AMD PowerNow! Technology for extended battery life. AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor Dual-core performance - AMD Power Now! technology for performance on demand and extended system battery life -
Enhanced Virus Protection (EVP) - Hyper Transport technology Mobile AMD Sempron Features AMD Power Now technology - compatible with different Windows including Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Home Edition, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000 as well as Linux - Enhanced Virus Protection - AMD Digital Media XPress for high performance and playback quality on digital entertainment such as games, streaming video and audio, DVDs, and music. The details such as cost etc are not offered here. They are beyond the scope of this article since different shops were offering different rates for product with the same specifications. This will be clear from the list given below: A: AMD Sempron 3000+ 64-bit CPU, Socket 754, 1.8GHz, HT1600 MT/s, 128KB L2 Cache $29.95 B: AMD Sempron 3000+ 64-bit CPU, Socket 754, 1.8GHz, HT1600 MT/s, 128KB L2 Cache $58.60 C: AMD Sempron 3000+ 64-bit CPU, Socket 754, 1.8GHz, HT1600 MT/s, 128KB L2 Cache $62.00 D: AMD Sempron 3000+ 64-bit CPU, Socket 754, 1.8GHz, HT1600 MT/s, 128KB L2 Cache $64.90 E: AMD Sempron 3000+ 64-bit CPU, Socket 754, 1.8GHz, HT1600 MT/s, 128KB L2 Cache $128.98 It may be seen from the above table that the rates differ. Therefore as pointed out in the beginning, 'cheap' is relative, because what one appears cheap to one may appear costly in the eyes of another. There are umpteen sites on the Internet which offer comparisons and can be easily reached by typing in the key words like, 'Cheap AMD Processors' on popular search engines and a host of sites offering Cheap AMD Processors would be thrown in the result. The best judge therefore would be you and consequently the decision should be yours since you know what suits both you and your purse.
