Athlon II X2 245e has 1 MB of L2 cache and operates at 2.9 GHz. AMD is building the Athlon II X2 245e on a 45 nm production process using 410 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Athlon II X2 245e, which limits its overclocking capabilities.
With a TDP of 45 W, the Athlon II X2 245e consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. AMD's processor supports DDR3 memory with a dual-channel interface. For communication with other components in the computer, Athlon II X2 245e 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 Athlon II X2 245e, which greatly improves virtual machine performance.
