When AMD first launched its X2 range of dual-core Athlon 64s, they were comfortably the most desirable CPUs on the planet and boasted untouchable multithreaded performance. Today, this flagship chip has been left high and dry by developments elsewhere ...
Abstract: new CPU, new motherboard socket: With the launch of Athlon 64 FX-62, AMD has also rolled out its new AM2 platform. This is a move from Socket 939 and Socket 754 to a new processor socket which has 940 pins. That ...
It could be a case of the Emperors new clothes but the AM2 socket for Athlon 64 isnt just about a change of underwear, its about DDR2. You have to admire the size of AMDs kahunas. When it launched the original Athlon 64, it took flak for not suppor...
These are all some pretty impressive numbers, but bear in mind that we tested the AM2 platform with the FX-62 - other AM2 processors won't show any big improvements over their Socket 939 counterparts. It's a real shame that AMD didn't manage to squeez...

The FX-62 is certainly an impressive piece of technology. The on-board DDR2 memory controller provides extremely low DDR2 latency that cannot be matched even by the excellent Intel 975X chipset. The performance is excellent across the board - I mean t...
