Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The AMD Athlon II X2 245e was a solid dual-core processor at the time of its introduction. It was based on the Propus architecture and manufactured in a 45nm process. This combination significantly contributed to its remarkable energy efficiency. The e in its name already indicated its economical operation.

Reliable basis for everyday tasks. With two processing cores and 2 MB of L2 cache, this Athlon II X2 offered a reliable basis. It was well-suited for everyday tasks such as office applications, email, and web browsing. Even today, we find that many systems with this processor provide sufficient performance for such light workloads.

It proved to be extremely durable, which speaks to its robust design. Support for PCIe 2.0 enabled good connectivity for graphics cards of that time. Its maximum memory bandwidth of 21 GB/s was appropriate for the time. This Athlon II X2 245e is a fine example of how AMD developed long-lasting and efficient CPUs.

It was an unspectacular but reliable partner in many computers.
  • High energy efficiency
  • Remarkable durability
  • Reliable performance for everyday tasks
