I have a bunch of 'Brisbane'-based CPU's including this 4200+ model. It's a stable running CPU that found it's way in lower priced dual-core systems back in 2007 and 2008. > Read more

Just like the 4200+ but slightly slower and also a CPU that probably found it's way into a budget system. > Read more

Just like this CPU but clocked 400MHz faster. I haven't benchmarked this one yet but it will probably be equal, if not slightly faster than the Core 2 Duo E6400. > Read more

This CPU is based on the 65nm 'Brisbane' core. The Brisbane (G1-stepping) saw it's light of day in December 2006 in the form of the Athlon 64 X2 4000+, 4400+, 4600+ and 5000+. In that time-frame Intel had it's Core 2 Duo out for a few months. Benchmarks show that the 4400+ falls between the Core 2 Duo E6300 and E6400 with the E6300 being in favor because in several applications it will still outperform the 4400+.

This particular 4400+ uses the later G2-stepping and was produced in week 34 of 2008. In that time-frame it was considered a budget CPU and AMD was slowly falling behind on Intel in terms of performance.

AMD used the 'Brisbane' core up to the Athlon 62 X2 6000+ in mid 2008. > Read more

Production date is week 8, 2008 so that makes this CPU a budget CPU. Consider that in 2008 it was not uncommon to buy a, let's say, Core 2 Duo E8400 which was released early 2008. The 5000+ was budget in 2008, not bad in 2007 and would've been high-end in 2006. The Athlon64 X2 was aging and falling behind in 2007.

Nevertheless it's a fine running CPU (especially considered it's low price) but in the end it's a tad behind a 2006 Core 2 Duo E6300/E6400. > Read more
