Fastest AMD Desktop CPU, 3.0 GHz for under $500, AM2 Upgrade Compatible
Still 90nm, Nonstandard DDR2 Speeds
The Athlon 64 X2 6000+ launch is anticlimactic in some areas, as a 200 MHz increase to the existing Athlon 64 FX architecture can only yield a finite performance gain. That does supply new Athlon 64 X2 high water marks in most performance benchmarks, ...
AMDs two old-school tricks, the price cut and the clock speed bump, have combined to give the Athlon 64 X2 6000+ a pretty good value proposition. Performance-wise, the X2 6000+ is slower overall than the Core 2 Duo E6700, but not by much. That may be ...
Frankly speaking the launch of the new AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ processor is not a very big event. Until promising new cores based on K8L micro-architecture come out, AMD will hardly be able to surprise us with anything. After the launch of Intel Core 2 ...
Abstract: AMD has been fairly quiet as of late. A few months ago, we took a look at their initial Quad-FX platform and FX-70 series offerings. However,on the mainstream socket AM2 front, AMD hasnt made any real noise since the release of the Athlon 64 FX-62 way bac...
Abstract: Since launching the AM2 platform in May, AMD has quietly launched a slew of new Athlon 64 X2 CPUs for the desktop market, starting with the X2 5200+ in early September, 65-nm Brisbane parts on December 5th, and the 5400+ and 5600+ on December 13th.All ...

When we were given the opportunity to take a look at the latest desktop processor from AMD, we gladly agreed and were quite excited to see how 3.0Ghz of stock dual-core Athlon 64 goodness could stack up to an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. In the end, w...

Mildly Overclockable, Multiplier Just About Maxed, 2MB L2 Cache, For an end user these wouldnt be cons, but for an enthusiast, they are worth a mention...
I would have loved to actually been able to run benchmarks on this processor in a true 64 bit environment. Believe me, it was tried and between freezes during benchmarks, incompatibility issues with drivers and Vista just not being all it’s cracked...
Abstract: The release of this 3GHz X2 chip from AMD is a surprising one, considering the tough seven months of Core 2 supremacy the CPU giant has faced. That’s surprising in a bad way, like when you walk in on your grandmother dressing and it turns out she&rs...
Abstract: The CPU landscape is really complex. Both AMD and Intel offer tons of different models. But how would today’s processors perform if they didn't have multiple cores? We take 16 different CPUs and compare them all using a single core running at 3 GHz. Ev...
