The Opteron 43CX EE model:family_text, developed by AMD engineers, expanded the range of desktop solutions :year_text. Thanks to the use of the 32 nm process node, the manufacturer achieved an excellent balance of performance. The chip is installed in the compatible motherboards socket. The die configuration includes 4 computing cores with support for 4 threads. Starting operating frequencies begin at 2.2 GHz. Thanks to dynamic overclocking technologies, the maximum frequency rises to 3 GHz. Thanks to 8 MB of L3 cache, latency when accessing RAM is reduced. The TDP level for this model is set within 35 W. In entry-level or mid-range gaming builds, this processor will perform confidently, providing acceptable frame rates when using an appropriate graphics accelerator.
