About the AMD Athlon 64 3400+ CPU
The AMD Athlon 64 3400+ is an end-of-life 1-core (1-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q1 2004. It is part of AMD's Athlon 64 lineup, which is based on the ClawHammer microarchitecture. The 64 3400+ is compatible with AMD Socket 754 motherboards and is fabricated on a 130 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Athlon 64 3400+ supports DDR1 memory and features a single-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 1 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Athlon 64 3400+ has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 128 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 1 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Athlon 64 3400+ is a single-core and single-threaded CPU, making it not capable of processing multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.2 GHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Athlon 64 3400+ does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
About the AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ CPU
The AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ is an end-of-life 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q4 2006. It is part of AMD's Athlon 64 X2 lineup, which is based on the Brisbane microarchitecture.
