About the AMD Athlon X2 450 CPU

The AMD Athlon X2 450 is an end-of-life 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q3 2014. It is part of AMD's Athlon lineup, which is based on the Kaveri microarchitecture. The X2 450 is compatible with AMD Socket FM2+ motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 28 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Athlon X2 450 supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Athlon X2 450 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 X2 450 features 2 total cores which can process 2 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.5 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.9 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Athlon X2 450 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
