AMD Phenom II X3 N830

The AMD Phenom II X3 N830 is a tripple core processor for laptops that clocks with 2.1 GHz. It is based on the desktop Athlon II X3 processors (at a lower clock speed) and therefore features no level 3 cache. The performance should be on average on par with an old Core 2 Quad Q9000. The lack of a Turbo Boost / Core function and level 3 cache and the slow core clock limit the performance of the CPU. In single threaded applications, the performance is only as fast as a 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo (CB10) or even slower (SuperPi). Compared to a modern Core i3-330M, the N830 stays nearly always clearly below (except in the CB11.5).

The Phenom II feature an integrated DDR3 memory controller on die (maximum DDR3-1333) and is manufactured in 45nm SOI (Core i3-330M 32nm).

Reviews for the AMD Phenom II X3 N830 processor

 

Review Lenovo IdeaPad Z565-4311 Notebook

No experimenting. It’s best to head straight for the Z series. This is Lenovo’s advice, but we can’t follow it without some reservations. Weak battery life and poor screen contrast are combined with a high-quality aluminium finish and an excellent keyboard.

Review HP ProBook 6555b Notebook

Triple-Core. The upscale office class from HP is called ProBook. Can the AMD variant with three cores impress us as much as its Intel 6540b counterpart? A similarly high rating makes us hopeful.

Review Acer Aspire 5551G Notebook

Without airs and graces. 15.6" mainstream notebooks at attractive prices are a dime a dozen. Apart from the attractive optics, Acer offers mainly standard fare with the Aspire 5551G-N834G64Mn. The only highlight is the brand new triplecore CPU from AMD, the Prenom II X3 N830.
