About This Product
The AMD Opteron 852 is an end-of-life single-core server/workstation CPU from the Athens microarchitecture. With a 2.6 GHz base clock and 1MB L2 cache, it offers minimal performance for modern workloads. Integrated graphics are present but unspecified, and its 92W TDP is high for its performance class. This CPU is not suitable for current computing needs and offers poor value compared to any contemporary alternative.
Pros
- Dual memory channels
- Low current market price
Cons
- Single core, single thread
- End-of-life status
- High TDP for performance
Verdict
“Not recommended for any modern use due to extremely limited performance.”
