AMD Dual-Core Opteron 865 / 1.8 GHz processor

Advantages: Cheap, sufficient performance, low power consuption
Disadvantages: Core processors are faster and overclock better

...As an Amd fan I often check the performance of the new Amd products. Based on a new 65 nm architecture I really expected that this processor is better than than the X2 3800 processor but I had mixed opinions and I'm a little disappointed. The good things: Dual core decent performance at low price Small power consumption , approximate 60 w at full load and only 8w when Cool‘n’Quiet is enabled. Pretty good. Good stability, The processor is stable and cold tanks to 65 nm fabrication technology Integrated memory controller. Good price The nod so good things: The new l2 cache memory is slower than the old 90 nm fabrication technology Doesn't overclock as good as core 2 processors Smaller performance than x2 3800 in some applications and also smaller performance than the Intel e4000 in many applications...

Advantages: BETTER THAN RIVAL PROCESSER
Disadvantages: NONE

...hello there i would like to take a moment to to reveiw this product.i am currently using this amd 64 processer.I installed and fitted my self. first of all i would say the overall quality of the processer is good.And is solidly built.The processer connected too the mother board inside my computer nice and easy.Installation was stait forward and easy aswell.The performance of the amd is outstanding. I often run many programs at the same time,very demanding ones at that such as cubase music editing programs so i need extremly low latency settings all the time.The amd does exactly that.

Advantages: Fast enough, Stable, Low power consupltion in idle
Disadvantages: No room for overclock, High power consuption in full load

...This processor is one of the last good offers that Amd launched in the market to compete with Core Duo processors. My tested version is built on 90 nm tired and true fabrication technology and has several good points, that worth mentioning. The good stuff: The performance is good, overall loses to core2 duo E6600 but by small distance and are some applications that really work better on this processor. The stability is perfect never had a single system crash. The ease of installation is just great, munch easier than intel processors, you can install it without removing the motherboard from the case Power consumption on idle: 9w Low price The not so good stuff: Loses to many applications to core 2 duo E6600 Relative high power consumption in full load 84-87w No room for overclock, if you reach 3100 Mhz you're lucky Conclusion...
