Abstract: While CPU architectures are typically available for years, AMD and Intel tend to offer improved steppings throughout a products lifecycle. We look at the history of the Athlon 64 X2 5000, complete with lab tests.
Abstract: Typical roundup materials devoted to CPU tests are normally biased towards two extremes. As a rule, on the moment of release of new chips they test and compare top-end models, while putting an emphasis at value chips in the "off-season". As regards the...
Abstract: In this article well review another two AMD Socket AM2 processors: Athlon 64 X2 5000+ and Athlon 64 X2 4800+. These are rather interesting because the former has performance rating higher by 200 points due to its 2.6GHz clock rate versus 2.4GHz clock ...
Our testing showed that when gaming at high resolutions the limiting factor is not the processor, but is actually the graphics card. This was shown to be true in three out of the six games that we benchmarked. We used the ATI Radeon X1900XTX graphics...
Faster than Intels current fastest, more expensive desktop CPU; beats even AMDs more expensive FX-60 chips on some tests.
Requires new motherboard and memory; Intels new, potentially faster CPUs are right around the corner.
AMDs new high-end dual-core CPU offers plenty of bang for the buck, outpacing Intels Pentium 965 Extreme Edition, which costs $200 more. Sounds like a good deal, but wait to see what Intels next-gen Core 2 Duo chips have to offer when they debut lat...
AMD has once again moved in the right direction with the release of AM2 with support for DDR2. While the performance gains are not as staggering as they were with the release of the Athlon, or the Athlon 64, they are still noticeable. Overall the conv...
Ok, that was a lot of work - and a lot of fun. Clearly AMD has delivered a very viable processor with the AM2 launch. The on-board DDR2 memory controller provides extremely low DDR2 latency that cannot be matched even by the excellent Intel 975X chips...
This round shows the gap between Intel and AMD taking a wider gap in favor of AMD for the first time; to be candid the FX62 was a smoking gun as an out of box product. AMD has really made advancements the past year with new faster CPUs and better chips...
