Decode model number processors AMD FX™ CPU
FX 8370E
- FX – processor series
- 8 – Identification of the processor in the series, it also indicates how many physical cores in the processor, there is an exception 9 model in its 8 cores but these processors require water cooling.
- 370 – processor type
- E – processors with less energy consumption
Decode model number processor AMD Athlon
Athlon processors in its name contains the basic information, such as X4 Quad-Core Processors.
Decrypt very simple X-Series processor has 4 cores 880K type indicates the model in the series.
Decode model number processor AMD A-Series
This series is designed for games, A series processors have built-in graphics cores and this CPU will better handle video or graphics.
A8-7600
- A – processor series
- 8 – the number of cores in the processor 6 6 cores, 8-10 cores 10-12 nuclei, usually the main cores 2 or 4 other graphics core.
- 600 – processor type
Decode model number processor AMD Athlon™ APUs
Low-power processors for low performance computers, the processor designation marking 5350 for example, the higher the number the more efficient processor.
