AMD Athlon II X3 435 and AMD X4 Athlon II 630
 

Although AMD with its Phenom II CPU models cannot compete with competitors in form of Core i7 when it comes to top-performance models, Phenom II and its derivates can offer a lot of bang for the buck. AMD simply does not have high-end CPU that can be measured up against Core i7, but the rest of the lineup is very good. It is obvious that AMD aims at products that have best price/performances ratio. Phenom II is great gaming CPU and slightly inferior when it comes to workstation performance levels. On the other side, statistics are merciless and, retail-selling figures of those high-end CPUs are as low as just few percents compared to sum of all sold CPUs on the market today…
