Throw another day’s work on the "done" pile. The Athlon 64 X2 5050e makes it easy. With two 2.6GHz cores that each has a dedicated 512KB cache, you have the power to do anything you like. HyperTransport technology boosts system performance by a point-to-piont bus construction designed to reduce I/O bottlenecks and latency for increased data bandwidth.
The 64-bit design will keep you going well into the future. The AMD64 technology is compatible with existing software and enables a seamless transition to the 64-bit applications of the future. This technology allows end users to take advantage of real-time encryption, more life-like games, accurate speech interfaces, cinema-quality graphic effects, and easy-to-use video and audio editing.
If you're going to use this processor at home, it can be the basis of a media center with AMD Live! technology. This new feature from AMD will turn your PC into an entertainment platform second to none. Watch videos or TV in one room while streaming music into another. Your system will become a true media center with music, movies, and photos all organized and able to be shared amongst all of your connected equipment.

Good CPU option
- Pros: Cheap, dual-core, cold, good performance/price ratio, 45W, overclocks nice and easy, quiet. This is my 2-nd, I also have a 4850e running fine for some time now.
- Cons: No L3 cache, no quad core (or 3 at least :)), memory controller on die uses a divider based on cpu speed (cpu multiplier) in order to access the RAM; Phenom (AM2+) series has independent controller; If you check your system with CPU-Z or Everest, you will notice that by default your memory speed is rated DDR2-743 (is this wrong?) Didn't I bought DDR2-800 and FSB is set to 200 (13 x 200 = 2600MHz)?
The K8 architecture moved the memory controller from the MB to CPU die and it runs at full CPU clock speed. But RAM cannot run at CPU core speed, so there is a divider that is applied to come up with the final RAM frequency.
The divider for AM2 is calculated like this: CPU multiplier x 0.5 x RAM ratio (this is 1 for DDR2 @800, 1.2 for DDR2 @ 667, 1.5 for DDR2 @ 533 and 2 for DDR2@400)
- Other Thoughts: Let's calculate for this 5050e and PC2-6400 (DDR2 800):
divider 13 x 0.5 x 1.0 = (6.50) 7 (which must be ROUNDED to next high int). Memory will be running at CPU multiplier x FSB x 2 (because it's DDR2) / divider, so we have: 13 x 400 / 7 = 743 magic number. To have memory running @ 800 we need to overclock a bit, so we calculate necessary CPU speed: 800 * 7 / 2 = 2800MHz. So that is 2800 / 13 (CPU multiplier) = 215.4 Now go to your BIOS, locate your overclock section, set FSB to 215 or 216 (from default 200) and punch it. Check out now with CPU-Z now, no surprise, it says DDR2 @ 800 (799 to be more precise).
I hope it's not (very) confusing, but in CONCLUSION: overclock your 5050e (or 4850e) to 2800MHz (or more) to have your DDR2 running @ 800 (or more).
Good Overclocker
- Pros: Very low power, low heat, good overclock, low price!
- Cons: None thus far
- Other Thoughts: I bought the 5050e for an HTPC and decided to see how far I could push the OC since no reviews seem to have done so, yet. I replaced an Athlon X2 5000+ Brisbane (65w/65nm) which I could only OC to about 3.0Ghz @ 1.54V. Temps ranged from about 30C idle to 48C under full load.
I got the 5050e to 3.34Ghz @1.44V running stable. Windows Vista boots stable and prime95 has been running stable for about 4 hours now. Temps seem to be running about the same as the OC'd 5000+ (30/48C).
All this done on air with a Zalman CNPS9700 cooler + paste. Motherboard is an ASUS M2R32-MVP

Works.
- Pros: Runs what I need it to, and does it without much heat. I used the included fan and I can't hear it over any other (fairly quiet) components, which pleasantly surprised me.
- Cons: None really. Sure there are faster chips available, but this will get the job done for 99% of everyone out there.
JUST FREAKIN AMAZING!
- Pros: Just got this processor to replace an old P4 (Energy saving) server that was running around a total power consumption of around 150-180watts. With this new Processor and a new motherboard now im running around 60-80watts MAX!! Got this CPU running at 1GHz and a voltage of .896V and CPUIDHW is reading a temp of around 25-27C. Just amazing! I know this server may not requiere much CPU power but theres times it does, its mainly a server used for DHCP, connecting about 20-30 users online 24/7 and a file hoster and so far its been running almost 2 weeks straight without a reboot and still running as if i had just restarted it!
- Cons: NONE!
Works as expected
- Pros: Easy drop in replacement for any AM2 board.
- Cons: It can run hot for a 45W TDP CPU at 1.2V. Brisbane max is 78C.
- Other Thoughts: I tested this in an Acer laptop that has an AM2 socket. The former CPU was a Neo/Lima 2650e (22W TDP). It works great but laptop doesn't have enough cooling capacity so it runs warmer than usual. Not the fault of the 5050e however. Better use would be in a desktop format.
