The AMD Athlon 5370 was a desktop processor with 4 cores, launched in April 2014. It is part of the Athlon lineup, using the Kabini architecture with Socket AM1. Athlon 5370 has 2 MB of L2 cache and operates at 2.2 GHz. AMD is building the Athlon 5370 on a 28 nm production process, the transistor count is unknown. The silicon die of the chip is not fabricated at AMD, but at the foundry of GlobalFoundries. The multiplier is locked on Athlon 5370, which limits its overclocking capabilities.
With a TDP of 25 W, the Athlon 5370 consumes only little energy. AMD's processor supports DDR3 memory with a single-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 1600 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. For communication with other components in the computer, Athlon 5370 uses a PCI-Express Gen 2 connection. This processor features the Radeon R3 128CU integrated graphics solution.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Athlon 5370, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) will run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications.
