Athlon Socket AM2 Review

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the if-you-build-it-faster-they-will-come dept.

NerdMaster writes "Hardware Secrets has just posted an Athlon 64 X2 5000+ review, one of the first AMD CPUs to support the new socket AM2. It runs at 2.4 GHz, has two 512 KB L2 memory caches (one for each core) and supports DDR2 memories." However, many are still predicting an end to AMD's dominance in the market thanks to Intel's Conroe.

    AMD has had the edge for years, there was just a lot of denial and ignorance of it. People stuck with Intel simply because nobody wanted to spend a couple hundred bucks on a processor and end up being the guinea pigs for AMD.
