Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The AMD Phenom II X2 545, based on the Callisto (K10) architecture, was an interesting choice upon its introduction. This processor, manufactured using the 45nm process, provided a solid foundation for everyday computing tasks. Its two cores delivered reliable performance for typical applications.

A notable feature was often the ability to unlock additional cores. This could transform the dual-core into a quad-core. Such an option offered significant added value for many users. That was a big advantage of this model at the time. With 6 MB Level 3 cache, the processor also had a generous buffer memory.

This supported fast data processing and overall system response. We remember that this noticeably improved the user experience. The maximum memory bandwidth of 21 GB/s was also appropriate for its era. The AMD Phenom II X2 545 thus represented a versatile option. It was well suited for users who valued adaptability.

This processor showed what was possible in its class.
  • Cores unlockable
  • 6 MB Level 3 Cache
  • Two cores
  • Callisto (K10) Architecture
