Thread: AMD QuadFX Platform & FX-70 serial publication CPU.

By immediately you're all familiar with Intel's Core micro-architecture,as well as the double and quad-core Core 2 Duo, Extreme, and QuadCPUs based on it. With the establish of their Core ii CPUs, Intel noyearner played 2nd fiddle to AMD in price of overall functioning orpower efficiency. And for the final few months afterwards their free,Intel has been steady re-gaining fans in the enthusiast communitythat were put off by years of comparatively hot-campaigning, andunder-doing Netburst micro-architecture based CPUs.

Today, AMD aims to re-capture the hearts of those hardcore partizans withthe official establish of their QuadFX platform. News about QuadFXhas been filtering out for months underneath the "4x4"banner. But today we can demonstrate you precisely what QuadFX is allabout. At its most basic stage, QuadFX is AMD's imagination of ahigh-end quad-core desktop computing platform. There's a lot morebecoming on underneath the virtual hood, Still. We'll start withapproximately quickly specs and move on to approximately of the morejuicy details on the pages ahead.





As you can assure in the specs above, AMD's novel FX-70 series of CPUs,which are the heart of the QuadFX platform, are very like to currentsocket AM2-based FX CPUs. They disagree just in their packaging, thenumber of HyperTransport links integrated into the processor, and ofcourse by their clock speeds.

We cover approximately particulars considering AMD's double-core CPUs inour FX-62 and 5000+ evaluation, and cover lots of the detailsconsidering the nForce 600 family of chipsets in our rating of thenForce 680i SLI. And our Quad-Father modify has approximately earlypoints considering QuadFX.
