Anand Reviews Athlon 64 FX-53

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the mips-and-chips dept.

trickofperspective writes "Anandtech has a review of AMD's latest processor, the Athlon 64 FX-53. Long story short -- the FX-53 is a "very solid processor," but you'd be better off waiting a couple months for Socket 939."

    I am yet to see a very liquid (or even a gasous) processor. Wouldn't it be cool? Hey, if it would be cool, it would solve the thermal problem inherent to solid processors. Why not make them?

      It is also insanely expensive, around $500/gallon!

      Wow, that's almost as much as a comparable amount of Starbuck's coffee...

      Clearly, you've never run your Athlon without its cooler in place.

      The newest Intel chips run hotter than the newest AMD chips. Time to update your jokes.

    Whooo! I can get one of these for 73 cents! :-P Yeah yeah, I know what they mean, but that's some horrible wording.

    But surely AMD's HyperTransport technology with 3DNow! is a worthy contender.

    So if I wait long enough, better, faster stuff will come out?

    Shhhh! Look, you're new here, so let me give you some pointers. This is slashdot. We love AMD here. Everything from AMD is Holy. There are no negative reviews regarding AMD, because there is nothing bad to say about AMD. It's all a bunch of Intel-sponsored FUD.
    AMD is winning this war: Intel employees are committing suicide by the hundreds at the gates of AMD's HQ.
