Are they worth the extra cash over a 200GE? You decide.

Procs like tested today are fun, and extra fun when they can be tweaked a bit. So yeah, I was initially disappointed to hear the Athlon being locked on the multiplier and DDR4 frequency, however, the current MSI BIOS we tested with shows you can bring the two gobblers towards ~4000 MHz stable with that memory at 3333 MHz. And that by itself is worth the 55 to 75 bucks you spend on this proc. It remains an unofficial step, MSI could always close that option with future BIOSes. However knowing AMD and MSI, that is not going to happen. So who is the Athlon 2x0GE series for? Well, the guys and gals that need an internet PC, a work OC, an HTPC or a PC for some really low-level gaming.
