AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 Review

Posted by Zonk on from the heavy-hardware dept.

Duane writes "GDHardware.com has the first review of AMD's upcoming Athlon 64 FX-57 CPU clocked at 2.8GHz. They benchmark it against Intel's current fastest 3.8GHz P4 and the Athlon 64 X2." From the article: "Clocked at 2.8GHz, the FX-57 continues the 'San Diego' core AMD released with the FX-55, but is stepped up a paltry 200MHz faster. What's interesting is that while 200MHz on the Intel side of things doesn't always mean that great of a performance gain, not so with AMD."

    Have you ever actually looked at your task manager?

    You don't think that the 'system idle' process is really sucking up all your power do you?

    The point you make is meaningless here. The OS is not taking 90% of the resources of this system.
