Before running our tests, we were believing the Athlon X4 845 should present lower performance than the FX-4300 and the A10-7870K, because of its lower clock and cache memory.However, it seems like the new Excavator architecture, with the Carrizo cores, r...
Despite taking a seat in the lower segment of all benchmrks I will still recommend the Athlon X4 845, but you do need to understand the product and its positioning. If you need to build a PC for somebody that merely browses the web, or plays light-games...
