The AMD Phenom II X4 910e was a desktop processor with 4 cores, launched in January 2010. It is part of the Phenom II X4 lineup, using the Deneb architecture with Socket AM3. Phenom II X4 910e has 6 MB of L3 cache and operates at 2.6 GHz. AMD is making the Phenom II X4 910e on a 45 nm production node using 758 million transistors. The silicon die of the chip is not fabricated at AMD, but at the foundry of GlobalFoundries. The multiplier is locked on Phenom II X4 910e, which limits its overclocking potential.
With a TDP of 65 W, the Phenom II X4 910e consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. AMD's processor supports DDR3 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 1333 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. ECC memory is supported, too, which is an important capability for mission-critical systems, to avoid data corruption. For communication with other components in the machine, Phenom II X4 910e uses a PCI-Express Gen 2 connection. Although the processor doesn't come with integrated graphics, certain motherboards with compatible chipsets can provide this capability.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Phenom II X4 910e, which greatly improves virtual machine performance.
