AMD Athlon64 3400

"The AMD Athlon64 3400 type Newcastle is a Socket 754 Processor operating at 2400Mhz, has a Front Side Bus speed of 200Mhz and 512K L2 Cache. The AMD Athlon64 3400 supports MMX+, 3DNow+, SSE, SSE2 and x86-64."

"The Athlon64 3400 is a very powerful processor and easily outperformed the Athlon XP 3200 and Sempron 3100 processors. It has a very high clock speed of 2.4Ghz and it's 512K Level 2 Cache also helped with synthetic and game benchmarks. We used a fairly modest video card the MSI NX 6600 GT with this review and we feel that if we had used a more expensive video card then the Athlon64 3400 would of been able to outperform the Sempron 3100 by even more. However the problem with the Athlon64 3400 is it's price, compared to the Sempron 3100 the Athlon64 3400 offers a performance increase of 19%. However the cost of the Athlon64 3400 is 48% more than for the Sempron 3100 so you have to ask yourself if the extra 19% performance is worth paying 48% more."
