AMD Athlon II X3 435 2.9 GHz Socket AM3 Triple-Core Processor Review
AMD Athlon II X3 435 2.9 GHz Socket AM3 Triple-Core Processor Review - PCSTATS
Enter the AMD Athlon II X3 435 processor, the focus of this PCSTATS review. It's a 2.9GHz triple-core socket AM3 CPU built on the Propus die. So is it better to get a dual core CPU, a triple-core CPU or a quad-core CPU?

32-Bit CPU Calculation Benchmarks: Super Pi

Super Pi Mod 1.5 Source: SuperPI

SuperPI calculates the number PI to 1 Million digits in this raw number crunching benchmark. The benchmark is fairly diverse and allows the user to change the number of digits of PI that can be calculated from 16 Thousand to 32 Million. The benchmark, which uses 19 iterations in the test, is set 1 Million digits.

Lower calculation times are better. SuperPi is not multi-threaded.

Calculation times in Super Pi are largely determined by processor clock speed and cache sizes, which means that the lack of L3 cache is again hurting the Athlon II X3 435. In the 16Million digit test it takes over 10 minutes to complete.
