Athlon 64 3400+ Reviewed

SpinnerBait writes "Unlike the Athlon 64 FX-51, this new 3400+ rated Processor, has a 64 bit memory interface, with its integrated memory controller, drops in at several hundred dollars less than an FX-51 and is also clocked at 2.2GHz. It gives a P4 3.2GHz Canterwood based machine a run for its money too, as this review with benchmarks at HotHardware reports. And where is Prescott? Fortunately for AMD, it's a bit tardy to market and this will give this new Athlon 64 speed bin time to take a firm hold."

Found this little gem in the article:

It kept our CPU running in the mid -40C range while gaming at default clock speeds.

Last AMD I had ran hot enough to roast a turkey from 10 feet away. -40C would freeze it solid.

I see an analogy between AMD/Intel and Middle Earth.
