AMD has been pretty rather as of late. A some months before, we assumed a appearance at their sign Quad-FX platform and FX-70 serial extending. However, on the conventional socket AMII front, AMD has not created any actual noise since the free of the Athlon 64 FX-62 path return in May of 2006. That is not to tell AMD has not freed any products hence then.


In actual, the company has established a plethora of less-clocked "Energy Efficient" processors for the platform and substituted the 125w Athlon 64 FX-62 with an 89W X2 5600+ at the same 2.8GHz and cache size. Frankly, enthusiasts expecting for a fresh flagship socket AMII processor have not had much to read about. Thankfully, there is news from the AMD home-front now.


Now AMD is formally revealing a fresh top-of-the-line socket AMII processor, the Athlon 64 X two 6000+. The X II 6000+ sports a entire One MB of L II cache each core and is clocked at a healthy 3.0GHz, now similar the FX-74. Its

cache form and clock velocity should create the XII 6000+ the quickest desktop central processing unit to arrive out of AMD. So, what do you tell we fire it up and look how it functions in equivalence to the stay of recent's high-end processor extending?


We have mailed a wealth of data considering AMD's Athlon 64 processors and associated core-logic chipsets above the final some months here. For few more background on the techs employed through AMD's Athlon 64 processors and the AMD AM2 and Quad-FX platforms as an entire, we advice assuming a look at some of the associated content listed under. They comprise elaborated explanations of some of the characteristics basic to AMD's legacy products, compatible chipsets, and the arising create to several double-core processors:


We cover few particulars considering AMD's recent double-core socket AM2 processor oblations in our FX-62 and 5000+ evaluation, and cover many of the elaborates considering the nForce 600 family of chip sets in our rating of the nForce 680i SLI. And our Quad-FX platform and Quad-Father tech inform objects have entire of the details considering Quad-FX and its associated FX-70 serial processors.
