What customers say about "Details"

AMD A6-3620 CPU Processor

The processor does not heat up, it works stably.
I bought it six months ago, it works fine.
Use A6 with ID-COOLING SE-802. Works good, overheats while watching films or play games.
Temperature is stable, does not rise above 55.
Installed in 15 minutes, it was not difficult.

Intel Core i3-2120 CPU Processor

I put it into a new Asrock motherboard. I like it.
Quiet, even with standard cpu fan/cooler.
I don't find any problem with the included Intel CPU cooling fan. Easy to install.
Since Turbo Boost is not possible, the standard fan/heatsink is more than sufficient. Great socket.
CPU have 4 cores and run really smooth.

Works fast, I like it!
Good simple CPU for budget PC.
Use it for office work, Word/Exel works well.
Use it for home film watching, good CPU.
A cheap and reliable processor for simple tasks.

Intel Core i3-2120 CPU Processor

3.3Ghz this CPU will give you solid performance for most everyday tasks.
With 4 threads (to physical cores w/ hyper-threading) and a clock speed of 3.3Ghz this CPU will give you solid performance for most everyday tasks.
2 cores, 4 threads, good built-in video graphics, and faster than my old i5 laptop!
Fast dual-core processor, and I can't really tell the difference between this and my quad-core i5-2500K on regular Internet browsing and word processing tasks.
Fast, same WEI score as the older Lynnfield.

What customers say about "Cache And Memory Specifications"

AMD A6-3620 CPU Processor

I'm using HyperX DDR3-1866 8192MB RAM. PC works smartly.
It has a pretty impressive cache, which is undoubtedly the pros.
256KB for L1 cache that's quite a lot for a similar processor.
It works, has 4MB cache, fast memory. It's all I need for work.
Pleased the processor, the memory bandwidth in the tests is the same as in the advertisement.

Intel Core i3-2120 CPU Processor

I am running a small machine with this CPU, 8Ghz of cheap RAM, and a bargain Mobo. Works great.
It is running perfectly along with 4 GB of RAM and a GTX 560, this combination is good enough to max out any game.
I bought this item with a kit, a motherboard and ram memories, this, too, surpassed my expectations in quality and performance, 100 % matches the seller's description.
It would be nice if it came with a higher HD graphics chipset and the ability to use more shared RAM.
This is the sandly one and memory is locked to 1333 while the ivy one has 1600 plus runs cooler and less the 20 more.
