AMD® Athlon™ X2 240

The AMD Athlon X2 240 is a desktop processor with 2 cores and 2 threads. Boost clock reaches 3.3 GHz. It supports DDR3 memory. Rated TDP is 65 W.

The AMD Athlon X2 240 scores 1,017 in single-core performance and 921 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 968 for overall performance, 2,022 for productivity performance, 2,337 for creator performance, 858 for engineering performance and 3,281 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 461 per core, 461 per thread and 14 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 120. Its performance index is 12, so its overall performance is 88% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Workload sub-scores (integer math, floating point, compression, encryption, physics, SIMD, prime sieve and sorting) are not recorded for the AMD Athlon X2 240.

The AMD Athlon X2 240 has 2 physical cores and runs 2 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It boosts up to 3.30 GHz.

The AMD Athlon X2 240 is a desktop processor and belongs to the AMD Athlon family.

The AMD Athlon X2 240 has 256 KB of L1 cache and 2 MB of L2 cache. That adds up to about 2.3 MB of cache, or 1.13 MB per core. Each core has 1 MB of private L2 cache.

The AMD Athlon X2 240 has a 2-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 256 KB and L2 at 2 MB. L2 is the largest level and makes up about 89% of the cache listed here.

The AMD Athlon X2 240 supports DDR3 memory and runs memory at up to 1,866 MT/s. It does not support DDR5, DDR4 and LPDDR memory.

The AMD Athlon X2 240 has a rated TDP of 65 W.
