The AMD Athlon II X2 245 is a desktop processor with 2 cores, launched in July 2009. It is part of the Athlon II X2 lineup, using the Regor architecture with Socket AM3. Athlon II X2 245 has 2MB of L2 cache and operates at 2.9 GHz. AMD is building the Athlon II X2 245 on a 45 nm production node using 234 million transistors. The silicon die of the chip is not manufactured at AMD, but at GlobalFoundries. The multiplier is locked on Athlon II X2 245, which limits its overclocking potential.

With a TDP of 65 W, the Athlon II X2 245 consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. AMD's processor supports DDR2 and DDR3 memory with a dual-channel interface. For communication with other components in the computer, Athlon II X2 245 uses a PCI-Express Gen 2 connection. This processor does not have integrated graphics, you will need a dedicated graphics card.
