What customers say about "Technical Specifications"
AMD Phenom II X4 960T CPU Processor
  • This processor is quite fast I have it in a mid budget computer and it has never failed me.
  • Great processor, haven't tried unlocking yet because it pretty much handles anything.
  • It is super fast, and future proof for years to come. I'm glad I bought this particular processor.
  • Good CPU, 3.0-3.4 speeds should be good enough for most people.
  • It has a Turbo which increases the Clock Speed to 3.4Ghz for an instant speed boost during demanding software.
Intel Core i5-4570 Desktop Processor
  • This is represents an economic choice, although not quite as powerful as the Intel Core i7.
  • Even though this has low clock speed, it'll reach 3.4 GHz or 3.6 GHz.
  • It's a superb mid-range CPU even with the lack of overclocking, and the stock cooler indeed works fine.
  • Pair it with a good GPU and you should be able to run pretty much anything.
  • Unfortunately, no Hyper-Threading or overclocking support.
