ADVB3 HDT90ZFBGRBOX
Six physical cores on the 45nm Thuban die deliver a 3.6GHz Turbo Core boost and 6MB L3 cache, with an unlocked multiplier for overclocking on Socket AM3. The 125W TDP and boxed cooler keep it a straightforward drop-in upgrade for older AM3 boards, while its 3958 PassMark multi-thread score still handles everyday multitasking. Best for budget builders reviving a legacy DDR3 system for office work, light content creation, or as a cheap home server.
