AMD Athlon X4 860K, 4-core, 3.7 GHz (Kaveri) Socket FM2 + - Low-Noise [AD860KXBJASBX]

Although the AMD Athlon has to get X4 860K as pure CPU without integrated graphics unit, he is technically one of the top models of the newest APU generation named Kaveri and is doing for those buyers who wish to relocate to the modern FM2 + platform and the low cost CPU wish to supplement with a dedicated graphics card. It takes up 4 MB L2 cache back and used two of the improved Steamroller modules (total 4 CPU cores), which are characterized by an increased per-clock performance and extensive feature range, such as AES encryption, AMD-V- virtualization technology or SSE and AVX instruction set extensions.

The fabricated chip in 28 nm clocked into the basic level of 3.700 MHz and can increase via Turbo Core 3.0 under load and the clock of single cores at up to 4000 MHz. Since it is a Black Edition, also the uncomplicated overclocking via the unlocked multiplier is possible, although this would involve the loss of warranty. In addition, the processor with a TDP of 95 watts more important functions combined in yet to the formerly separately vorfand in the chipset on the motherboard, such as the memory controller with a native support for DDR3 memory up to 2133 MHz clock.

This boxed version of the processor include a matching low-noise CPU cooler AMD supplied.

Note: To use a Kaveri APU / CPU a FM2 + -Mainboard is mandatory
