Athlon 64 FX-62 Dual-Core Socket AM2 Review

Hardware Secrets gets to grip with the high-end CPU from AMD, the Athlon 64 FX-62, a dual-core CPU running at 2.8 GHz with two 1 MB L2 memory caches. It's based on the new AM2 socket and supports DDR2 memories.

Here is a snippet:

"Athlon 64 FX-62 is right now the most high-end CPU from AMD, incorporating dual-core technology, socket AM2 (i.e. DDR2 memory support), 2.8 GHz internal clock and 1 MB L2 memory cache for each core. We had the chance of reviewing this beast and compare it to other dual-core CPUs from AMD: Athlon 64 X2 5000+ (socket AM2, 2.6 GHz, 512 MB L2 memory cache), Athlon 64 X2 4600+ (socket 939, 2.4 GHz, 512 MB L2 memory cache) and Athlon FX-60 (socket 939, 2.6 GHz, 1 MB L2 memory cache). Let’s see how this new CPU performs. "

With Conroe right around the corner, it looks like AM2 and the FX-62 is due for a serious Intel spanking.
