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...
Priced Competitively, Dual Channel DDR2800, Lower Power and Heat Specs
Still 90nm, 2x512MB L2 Hampers Game Performance
The launch of the Athlon 64 FX-62 and Athlon 64 X2 5000+ processors, while impressive in their own right, is almost secondary to the future potential of Socket AM2. Certainly, it is nice to see the higher performance and improved specifications of the...
Excellent utilization of DDR-2 SDRAM, Decreased memory power consumption and heat production, Extremely fast and reliable, In-chip virtualization support, Decreased CPU core voltage and heat production
Expensive (as are all highend CPUs)
AMD has done what we feel to be an outstanding job with the introduction of their socket AM2 lineup. The X2 5000+ we reviewed today completely surprised us from the standpoint of how well it performs, particularly in the realm of memory related benchm...

Abstract: Ive posted my review of the FX62, X2 5000+ on the AM2 socket as well as details on the nForce 500 series chipset we tested on. Asus and Foxconn boards were used in our testing. We also have some testing with 1066MHz DDR2. Im adding overclocking resul...
Abstract: Originally planned for launch during the upcoming Computex 2006 on the 6th of June, Intels earlier than expected announcements of their next generation Core 2 Duo processors slated for the same period have certainly helped AMD shuffle m...
One thing thats clear from the benchmarks in the previous pages is that if you already own an FX-60, there is no need to rush out and buy the new 5000+. We didnt receive the FX-62 from AMD so we cant say how well that will compete against the FX-60. Th...
