Very good CPU!
- Pros: I included the AMD 810 in a new build last summer with a Asus M4A79T Deluxe board, 4GB Corsair RAM, ASUS 4850 videocard and Vista Ultimate. After setting up the BIOS correctly, this build's HD just crackles it is so quick!!! Very, very quick. I expect a good computer upgrade here would be a SSD instead of a CPU some day. Incredibly fast with zero problems. But, no matter how fast they are, we will always want quicker. The need for speed never ends. Very impressive and stable even 10 months later.
- Cons: None
- Other Thoughts: Although this is not a high end, high $$ CPU, it sure performs like one. I expect it to be very reliable also as I have had zero AMD CPU problems in 9 years. I do use very expensive CPU coolers like Noctura and such because heat is the biggest problem. Some builders scrimp on good CPU coolers or not using a good sine wave UPS for power. These small moneysaving mistakes cause computer damage and then blame AMD or Intel for lack of quality control.
works well with ASUS M4A78T-E
- Pros: easy to install, comes with fan and heatsink
- Cons: none at this time.
Great Processor
- Pros: With everything that I run on my system, I have yet to have any problems with this CPU. Mostly I use my machine for school and office work, and occasionally I will play a few games (2004 era) on it. It supports DDR2 and DDR3 RAM so that leaves some room for upgrading the rest of the system.
- Cons: For the most part, the processor runs cool enough with the stock cooler. However, I prefer to use a aftermarket cooler that does a better job. The aftermarket processor cooler keeps my processor under 35c with a full load for prolonged periods of time during hot summer days with little or no AC. The normal average temp is usually around 18c or less.
- Other Thoughts: System Build

Introduction
Like the superheroes of old, the AMD Phenom II streaks out of the night to lay waste to your enemies with has 2.6GHz quad cores, L1 and L2 caches for each core, and 4MB of L3 cache to be shared to handle really heavy loads or large data sets.
Memory transfers get faster than ever. HyperTransport Generation 3.0 mode allows up to 16.0GB/s of bandwidth. Up to 17.1GB/s memory bandwidth for DDR2 and up to 21GB/s memory bandwidth for DDR3 memory controller delivers an amazing 37GB/s of processor-to-system bandwidth. This unprecedented bandwidth is needed to feed the data hungry AMD64 with Direct Connect Architecture cores.
You'd think that all of this power would be too hot to handle. Think again. AMD's Cool'n'Quiet 3.0 technology works with CoolCore Technology to minimize heat while keeping power and efficiency up. Now the cores can shut down unused parts of the processor when not in use. This saves power and helps to reduce the amount of heat generated. This function is built in so there's no need for drivers or BIOS updates.
Highlights
 |
AMD64 Quad-core Technology
AMD64 is designed to enable simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing with no degradation in performance. With Quad-Core technology, four complete processor cores on a single die run at the same frequency to deliver exceptional multi-tasking power, allowing users to surge through the most demanding processing loads, including advanced multitasking, critical business productivity, complicated visual design and modeling, serious gaming, and visually stunning digital media and entertainment.
|
 |
Integrated DDR2 and DDR3 DRAM Memory Controller
The AMD Phenom II X4 Quad-Core processor is integrated with DDR2 and DDR3 DRAM memory controller capable of supporting registered and ECC DRAM. The integrated memory controller changes the way the processor accesses main memory, resulting in increased bandwidth, reduced memory latencies, and enhanced processor performance.
|
 |
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 3.0 technology the AMD Phenom II X4 quad-Core processor enjoys 4000MHz system bus speeds.

 |
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.
|
 |
AMD CoolCore Technology
AMD CoolCore Technology reduces processor energy consumption by turning off unused parts of the processor. Power can be switched on or off within a single clock cycle so that energy is saved without compromising performance.
