OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
Throw another day’s work on the "done" pile. The Athlon 64 X2 5400 Brisbane makes it easy. The dual cores run at a blistering pace of 2.8GHz and have 1MB of L2 cache each. This advanced processor is part of the AMD64 family and as such it is fully compatible with today's 32-bit software and is ready to handle the ever increasing number of 64-bit programs out there.

More oomph for less power, that's the promise of Cool'n'Quiet technology. This feature allows the OS to slow the processor down when full speed isn't necessary. That reduces your system's power demand and can save you money. The more immediate benefit is that less power means less heat, so your system runs cooler and that will let it last longer. It also means the fans will slow down and make less noise.

Ignore rebadged 5000's post

white Reviewed By: ObjectivePOV on 9/16/2008
Rating + 4
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: This is a good, solid proc. All processor mfr's use the same wafer of silicon and THEN have a certification process to 'grade' the CPU to determine it's final speed rating - to SPECULATE that these are rebadges is not only ignorant, but unhelpful.
Cons: Still not quite as powerful as Intel's C2D at the same speed.
Other Thoughts: Please use the reviews section to comment on the actual product's quality, functionality, usability, etc. Your eccentric ramblings dont make you smarter than the rest of us - they just make you more arrogant.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: ulocked black edition at 2.8 ghz and 2 ghz higher than the 5000 blackedition runs very cool i'm ideling at 31.c with my thermalight true black
Cons: well so far i could only get this one up to 3.4 ghz with the cpu voltage at 1.488 and the multiplier at x17 i've tried to get to 3.5 but so far i's a no go i get a blue screen before window's starts i was hoping to hit 3.5 or 3.6
Other Thoughts: i'm not he greatest overclocker but i know the basics someone will probally be able to go higher maybe hit 3.5 or 3.6 or higher but 2.8ghz to a 3.4ghz isn't bad for me

great processor, odd to not include stock fan

white Reviewed By: ice on 6/12/2009
Rating + 4
Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Fast, stable
Cons: doesn't come with heatsink/fan, but there is a large empty space in the box where the heatsink/fan is supposed to go.
Other Thoughts: It does say it in the description that there is no cooling device included, but I didn't even think to look at that because I've never seen a retail processor without its stock heatsink/fan. Managed to pick up a Rosewill heatsink/fan for about 10 bucks and free shipping... so it wasn't too bad. However, at 10 dollars more, you might be able to get a more powerful processor that comes with its heatsink/fan.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I got this for the price and previous reviews and I was not disappointed. My computer is working way faster than I expected and I haven't tried to overclock this yet. Pretty sturdy, considering the accident that caused 6-10 pins that got bent on it. After bending it back, it works as if it never happened.
Cons: None

Highlights

newegg AMD64 Dual-core Technology
AMD64 is designed to enable simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing with no degradation in performance. With dual-core technology there are two complete processor cores in one physical package running at the same frequency to deliver TRUE multi-tasking power, allowing users to switch from one program to another without pausing for the computer to catch up and reducing annoying processing pauses.
newegg HyperTransport Technology
HyperTransport Technology (HT or HTT) is a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point link designed to increase communication speeds between integrated circuits in computers, servers, embedded systems, and networking and telecommunications equipment. With HT technology the AMD Athlon X2 4850e Dual-core processor enjoys 2000MHz system bus speeds.
newegg Enhanced Virus Protection
All AMD processors equipped with AMD64 technology are Enhanced Virus Protection-enabled. Enhanced virus protection acts as a preventative measure causing viruses to be localized, short-lived, and non-contagious, eventually being flushed from system memory.
newegg AMD Virtualization
Virtualization on desktop computers allows a single PC to act like multiple virtual machines. AMD Virtualization can enable client computers to seamlessly support multiple operating environments. And it also helps make it easier for PC enthusiasts to upgrade and maintain their PCs through emulation.
newegg AMD Cool'n'Quiet Technology
AMD's Cool'n'Quiet technology is an innovative solution available on AMD Athlon 64 processor-based systems that can effectively lower power consumption and enable a quieter-running system while delivering performance-on-demand.
