Crazy_Nate Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Wow, $100 for a quad...Looks like AMD is pushing the bottom end pretty hard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
_TheAlexO Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Looks to be a great budget gaming cpu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ajmatson Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I was quite impressed with it for the price. I think it has a lot of potential especially with the low thermal output when under water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I think you got a bad batch, other reviewers seem to be clocking the 620 around 3.5-3.8ghz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IVIYTH0S Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I think I'd rather have the x2 550 for this price, but I guess if you needed the cores but didn't have the cash than that's where this processor shines. I'd be interested to see how the 550 and the perform vs one another (identical clocks and in the cases where 4 cores are used, the 550 could be overclocked to the max) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I think you got a bad batch, other reviewers seem to be clocking the 620 around 3.5-3.8ghz And a lot of other sites don't actually do a lot of stability testing like OCC does.

damian Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 That never happens Well then i dont know why AJ's chip didn't clock as high. I guess instead of batch i should say dud? But that doesn't take away from the quality of the review...excellent review AJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
