Abstract: Ive posted my review of the Athlon 64 FX60. We compare it to the Pentium D 840, FX55, FX57, and Athlon 64 X2 4800+. We throw plenty of applications including games, and many of them are multithreaded. We also overclock up to 3.2GHz. Updated 1/12/06...
First of all I would like to point out that the year 2006 promises to become the year of overwhelming spreading of dual-core processors. Thanks to the efforts of the graphics card driver developers, the number of applications improving showing better r...

Processors keep getting faster and faster, its one of the huge computing clichés. The latest chip from AMD doesnt deviate from this trend, although its still something of a surprise. AMDs FX range was originally aimed at the enthusiast market, al...
Abstract: dual core processor for hardcore gamers: AMD has taken a bold step with the latest version of the Athlon 64, as the new FX-60 has a clock speed that is 200MHz slower than the previous FX-57. At first glance this seems like ...
Abstract: In what might be considered a shrewd move, Intel ushered in their 65nm dual core Extreme Edition 955 processor during the lull between Christmas and New Year. At this time the fastest AMD dual core offering was the X2 4800+, a fast processor but not re...
