Athlon 64 3400+ Reviewed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the upping-the-ante dept.

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."

    Maybe I'm missing something (64 as opposed to 32 bit) but I'm running an OC'd 3000 to 3200 that clocks at 2.21 ghz. I got it for a good 175. Why would I want to upgrade yet?

    If your CPU runs at -40C, you have something very special. I, for one, would be worried about condensation from water becoming ice on contact with the CPU at that temperature!
    It happens.

    It's a bin that fills up *really fast*!
