Do you need a review? Its an Athlon II yo. Compare it to the fastest Athlon II dude, it can't be more than a few percent different.

The 3.2Ghz Phenom II 840 is a little different. Though it bears the Phenom name, it is built on the Propus core more commonly associated with the Athlon II line. And like the Athlon II, the Phenom II X4 840 has a 2Mb L2 cache, but lacks any L3 cache. The Phenom II X4 840 is also more energy efficient with a 95 watt TDP, compared to the 125 watts of the 975BE and other Phenom II quad cores CPUs.

All i ever cared about with phenom was unlocking extra cores and oc to 4 ghz, solid budget build with a tinge of risk
