Page 12 - Conclusion
AMD Phenom II 810 can be reviewed from many and different angles. On one hand the processor does not offer great overclock performance but on the other its initial performance is quite similar to the one of higher Phenom II 920/940 models. Its L3 cache is lowered by 2MB and is 4MB instead of 6MB, yet in gaming tests that did not seem to have significant impact on the results. The Price of the Processor in Bulgaria is expected to be around 240$ which is justified considering its capabilities, though honestly, we prefer Phenom II 920 for its higher potential for reaching higher frequencies and a tad higher default frequency. So in short - if you do not intend to overclock, the price of the processor justifies its performance. Also Phenom II 810 gives you the option to use it with a motherboard and memory costing less than 100$ for the both, which to be honest is ridiculously cheap, while still allowing you to upgrade to an AM3 platform combined with new DDR3 memory at a later moment in time.
