Athlon II X2 245 Details

The AMD Athlon II X2 245, launched in July 2009, represents a mid-tier desktop processor from AMD's older Athlon II X2 lineup. Built on the 45 nm Regor microarchitecture and using the Socket AM3 interface, this dual-core CPU operates at a base frequency of 2.9 GHz with a turbo frequency of 2.3 GHz. Despite its age, the processor remains relevant for legacy systems or low-cost builds due to its modest performance and 65 W TDP, which was typical for mainstream desktops of its era. The Athlon II X2 245 features 2 MB of L2 cache, dual-channel DDR3 memory support up to 1600 MHz, and a 5 GT/s bus speed, making it compatible with systems designed for 45 nm-era hardware.

In terms of performance, the Athlon II X2 245 achieves an Overall Score of 4162, placing it at #1731 among 2060 processors in Passmark’s database. Its Singlecore Score of 4190 ranks it at #1588, indicating decent single-threaded performance for its time, though it falls behind modern CPUs in both single- and multi-threaded workloads. The Multicore Score of 4121 places it at #2042, reflecting limited scalability due to its dual-core design without simultaneous multithreading. Compared to its immediate competitors, such as the Athlon II X2 240 (score: 4111) and the Phenom 9650 (score: 4119), the X2 245 offers slightly better performance but remains firmly in the lower tier of processors, especially when contrasted with today’s top-tier offerings like the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX, which scores over 9,000.

The Athlon II X2 245 lacks integrated graphics, but some motherboards with compatible chipsets provide this functionality through onboard graphics solutions. It supports a range of instruction sets, including MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX2, AES, x86-64, and AMD-V, making it capable of running modern operating systems and applications, albeit with performance constraints. It also supports ECC memory, though this feature is rarely used in consumer-grade desktops. The processor’s locked multiplier limits overclocking potential, a common trait in AMD’s mainstream offerings from that generation.

While the Athlon II X2 245 may seem outdated by today’s standards, it still serves as a viable option for basic computing tasks such as web browsing, office productivity, and media playback. Its low cost and low power consumption make it suitable for entry-level systems or retro builds. However, users seeking modern performance will find it significantly outpaced by contemporary CPUs, especially in multicore workloads. As of March 2026, the processor remains a relic of the late 2000s, useful only for niche applications where legacy hardware compatibility is required.
