The base clock represents the guaranteed operating frequency, while the boost clock indicates maximum single-core performance under optimal conditions. Higher clock speeds translate to faster single-threaded performance, which is essential for gaming and applications that don't fully utilize multiple cores. The Athlon X2 BE-2400 by AMD can dynamically adjust its frequency based on workload and thermal headroom.
AMD's Athlon X2 BE-2400 Cache Hierarchy
L1, L2, L3 cache sizes
Cache memory is ultra-fast storage built directly into the Athlon X2 BE-2400 processor die. L1 cache provides the fastest access for frequently used data, while L2 and L3 caches offer progressively larger storage with slightly higher latency. Larger cache sizes significantly improve CPU benchmark scores by reducing memory access times.

About AMD Athlon X2 BE-2400
The AMD Athlon X2 BE-2400 is a desktop processor from AMD, built on the K8 architecture with the Brisbane codename. It uses AMD Socket AM2 and is manufactured on a 65 nm process. The CPU provides two cores and two threads, with a base clock of 2.30 GHz and no boost clock recorded. It is listed as end-of-life and has a release date of 2007-10-07.
Benchmark Performance
The database record for the Athlon X2 BE-2400 has an empty benchmarks array and an average benchmark score of 0. It also lists a percentileVsAllCpus value of 50 and an empty nearestRivals list. The average score of 0 should be read as a placeholder for missing benchmark data, not as a measured result. No workload scores are present, so there is no tested basis for comparing this processor to another named part.
Because no benchmark values exist, exact percentage deltas cannot be calculated. There are no deltaPct fields in the record, and no rival entries are available. The only comparative data point is the 50th percentile among all CPUs in the database. That value would place the processor at the midpoint of the database distribution if it were supported by valid scores, but with no benchmark entries, it is not a test-derived ranking.
The configuration profile is clear: two physical cores, two threads, 2.30 GHz base clock, and no boost clock. The architecture is K8, the codename is Brisbane, and the process node is 65 nm. The cache layout includes 256 KB of L1 cache and 512 KB of L2 cache, with no L3 cache populated. These are descriptive facts, not performance measurements. Without recorded scores, statements such as “this processor is a certain percentage faster” are not supported by the database.
The absence of benchmark results also prevents percentile comparisons from being meaningful in workload terms. A chip with an empty benchmark set cannot be ranked against tested CPUs. The 50th percentile value may reflect a database default or incomplete profile rather than measured performance. Therefore, the data shows a processor with a fixed 2.30 GHz dual-core configuration and no measured workload output.
Power and Thermals
The TDP of the Athlon X2 BE-2400 is 45 W. This is the only thermal or power figure in the database record. It places the processor in a low-power desktop TDP class. The cooling tier implied by a 45 W TDP is modest; a large or aggressive thermal solution is not indicated by the data. No specific cooler size, cooling wattage, or thermal test results are provided.
The lack of a boost clock means the processor operates at its 2.30 GHz base frequency, with no recorded higher-frequency state that would increase power demand. The 65 nm manufacturing process, 154 million transistors, and 126 mm² die size are consistent with a compact two-core design. The platform’s integrated graphics are described as a chipset feature available on certain motherboards, so graphics-related power is not part of the CPU TDP profile.
No temperature readings are present in the record. The analysis of thermals is therefore limited to the TDP classification. A 45 W desktop CPU implies a basic cooling solution should be adequate, but the database does not specify what type of cooler or airflow level is required. The power data is a single design-power value, not a measured load result.
How It Compares
The nearestRivals field is empty. There are no rival names, rival scores, or deltaPct values to report. As a result, this section cannot provide one paragraph per nearest rival. The database currently assigns no explicit competitor list for the Athlon X2 BE-2400.
The only comparison-related field is percentileVsAllCpus, set to 50. This is a percentile position, not a percentage lead or deficit over another CPU. With no nearest rivals and no benchmark scores, the processor’s relative standing is undefined. The empty benchmark array prevents the percentile from being tied to actual test performance.
The product’s identity as a two-core, 2.30 GHz K8 part on AMD Socket AM2 is recorded, but this identity is not used to generate a nearest-rival comparison. Until benchmark entries and rival relationships are populated, the data cannot support any statement about how this chip compares to another processor.
Platform and Compatibility
The Athlon X2 BE-2400 uses AMD Socket AM2. The architecture is K8 with the Brisbane codename. The processor has two cores and two threads and is built on a 65 nm process. The die size is 126 mm², and the transistor count is 154 million.
Memory support is partially specified: the memory bus is dual-channel, while the memory support field is null. This means no specific memory types are listed in the database. ECC memory is not supported, according to the ECC flag. PCIe support is marked as Gen 2.
Integrated graphics are listed as “On certain motherboards (Chipset feature),” meaning graphics are provided by a motherboard chipset rather than by the processor itself. The multiplierUnlocked field is false, so the multiplier is not unlocked. The part number is ADH2400IAA5DO.
The processor is end-of-life and was released on 2007-10-07. The cache configuration includes 256 KB of L1 cache and 512 KB of L2 cache, with no L3 cache present. The platform is a dual-channel, Socket AM2 design with Gen 2 PCIe support. There is no upgrade-path information beyond the socket and platform fields recorded in the database.
