AMD Athlon X4 950 3.5 GHz (Bristol Ridge), socket AM4 - boxed [AD950XAGABBOX]

 The processor relies on heavily revised Excavator modules, which are the highest level of evolution of the modular design introduced with the bulldozer architecture.

AMD Bristol Ridge CPU
The AMD Athlon X4 950 3.5 GHz 4-core processor at a glance:

4 cores (2 Excavator modules) with only 65 watts TDP
Basistact of 3.5GHz & 3.8GHz Turbo + 2MB of L2 cache
Free multiplier for manual overclocking (unlocked CPU)
X86-64 (64-bit processor AMD64) & AMD-V virtualization
28-Nanometer Transistors (Diffused in Germany)
AVX2 instruction set extension for complex vector calculations
AES for reliable data encryption
Modern AM4 platform with extensive features
Supports energy-efficient DDR4 RAM (dual-channel)
AMD Boxed CPU cooler included!
The chip, manufactured in 28 nm, already clocks at a basic speed of 3,500 MHz and can boost the clock speed of individual cores to up to 3,800 MHz via Turbo Core 3.0 with a corresponding load. Thanks to an open multiplier (unlocked CPU), the CPU can be easily overclocked, but this is accompanied by the loss of the manufacturing guarantee. In addition, the chip is packed with a variety of modern features, including AES encryption, AMD-V virtualization technology, and SSE and AVX2 command set expansions.
High-tech platform AM4 with lush features

AMD Logo Mainboards with the AM4 socket offer state-of-the-art interfaces and serve as a platform for AMD Ryzen CPUs as well as AMD Raven Ridge and AMD Bristol Ridge APUs / CPUs. The Bristol Ridge CPU itself has two SATA-6G data channels for traditional SATA SSDs and two dedicated PCI Express 3.0 lanes to support modern PCI Express SSDs in M.2 or U.2 formats Developed NVM-Express protocol (NVMe for short).

Another 8 PCIe 3.0 lines provide more than enough bandwidth even for gaming graphics cards. Additional data ports and PCIe lanes for additional data carriers, expansion cards and peripherals are provided separately depending on the mainboard chipset. The AM4 platform also brings modern external device connections such as USB 3.1 Gen 2 with Type A and / or Type C connectors and high data transmission rates of up to 10 Gbit / s. AM4 motherboards also support fast, energy-efficient DDR4 memory in dual-channel mode via the CPU's built-in memory controller.
Notes: This is a boxed version including AMD CPU cooler. An AM4 motherboard is required to use an AMD Bristol Ridge or Raven Ridge APU / CPU.
