Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The AMD Athlon II X3 400e, a processor from the Rana family, offered a remarkable solution at the time. Manufactured using the advanced 45 nm process, it presented itself as very energy efficient. The characteristic e suffix stood for exactly that back then. Its three cores were a significant advantage for the parallel execution of multiple programs.

Switching between different applications was noticeably smoother. For home and office systems of the time, it was a truly well-considered choice. We remember how many PCs benefited from this solid base. With 2 MB of L2 cache and 21 GB/s memory throughput, it delivered reliable performance. This was easily sufficient for multimedia tasks and surfing the Internet.

The support for PCIe 2.0 was also absolutely appropriate for this class. The AMD Athlon II X3 400e remains an example of robust hardware. It proved that much could be achieved even without the highest peak performance. A truly durable and unobtrusive companion for everyday digital life.
