Throw another day’s work on the "done" pile. The Athlon II X3 425 makes it easy. With triple 2.7GHz cores that have their own 512KB cache, you have the power to do anything you like. HyperTransport technology boosts system performance by giving each core a dedicated cache of memory and reducing I/O bottlenecks by increasing bandwidth and reducing latency.
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.

Easy to unlock 4th core
- Pros: Was able to unlock the 4th core by enabling ACC in the bios on my Asus M4A785-M motherboard. CPU has been stable under 100% load for 2 weeks now using Folding@Home. Not one bad WU.
Great bang for the buck processor. Would not hesitate to buy again. For $75 you get a nice quad core processor (provided you unlock the 4th core).
- Cons: None
- Other Thoughts: Didn't unlock 3rd cache with ACC, however with 4th core unlocked no worries.
X3 425 Processor - Makes a lively robust Linux system
- Pros: Boots a 64-bit Mepis 8.0.10 Linux operating system noticeably faster than the AMD Phenom ™ X4 9500 Agena 2.2 Quad. Ordered the processor two days ago received the package late yesterday, and it went into a Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H this morning replacing the Sempron 140 that I could not unlock and use as a X2 440.
So far this CPU appears to be a reasonable priced upgrade, for my Agena 2.2 Quad...
- Cons: None
- Other Thoughts: So far quite pleased with this snappy processor, and time in front of the Monitor will tell the Real Story... I have used a 64-bit Mepis Linux with the quad for 2.5 years and I run a good number of different function continually... This is my first X3, it is faster than the quad, and it has one less core... I looked at the X4 630, but thought i would give this CPU a decent trial and see if there is a performance improvement or hit that matters...

Athlon II X3
- Pros: Runs win 7 64 bit and XP 32 bit with ease; 6.6 rating on Win 7 experience index. Not a gamer, but heavy use of office applications and internet use. Also handles music and video playback with clarity and ease.
- Cons: none so far
- Other Thoughts: Would buy again but with L3 cache, just for comparison purposes. Much better performance than dual core.
Amazing
- Pros: Amazing speeds, very easy to install and the stock fan it includes keeps the core temperature at about 21C
- Cons: None thus far
- Other Thoughts: Highly recommended.
Amazing!
- Pros: This processor is amazing. It runs without a sweat. I dont plan to overclock.
- Cons: For a little bit more you can have quad core.
