Athlon II is a family of
AMD multi-core 45 nm central processing units, which is aimed at the budget to mid-range market and is a complementary product lineup to the Phenom II
.
Features
The Athlon II series is based on the
TDP and additional L2 to offset the removal of L3 cache.[2] The Athlon II x2 200e-220 chips have less L2 cache than the rest of the Regor line. The triple-core Rana is derived from the Propus quad-core design, with one core disabled. In some cases, the Phenom II Deneb die is used with disabled L3 cache and cores in the case.[3][4]

Technology)
Processors with an "e" following the model number (e.g., 245e) are low-power models, typically 45W for Athlons, 65W for Phenoms. Processors with a "u" following the model number (e.g., 250u) are ultra-low voltage models.
