AMD Phenom II X4 925
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The AMD Phenom II X4 925 was once a notable processor for desktop computers. It was based on the architecture internally known as Deneb, an evolution of AMD's K10 platform. With its four processing cores, it offered a solid foundation for multitasking and applications that benefited from multiple cores.

The 45-nanometer manufacturing process was considered advanced for its time, resulting in good efficiency. Level 3 Cache of 6 MB is particularly noteworthy. This contributed significantly to good system performance and effectively supported the cores in data-intensive tasks. The maximum memory bandwidth of 21 GB/s was also remarkable for the time.

Many users appreciated the reliability of this CPU generation for years. We were surprised at the time how well these processors could keep up even with more demanding programs. Even today, the AMD Phenom II X4 925 can still serve for basic office tasks or as the centerpiece of a retro gaming PC. It offered a good balance between acquisition costs and the performance offered.

It is nice to see that it still finds its niche.
