T-Break have got hold of AMD’s latest 64-Bit CPU’s in the form of the Athlon 64 3800+ and FX53.
Today, AMD is sorting that problem by releasing their new Socket 939 based CPUs. Again, we see two flavors- the FX53 and the Athlon64 both of which offer a dual channel memory controller that can work with normal non-ECC type of memory modules. The only difference between the two CPUs is the amount of L2 cache- while the FX has a full 1MB, the Athlon64 3800+ only offers 512k L2 cache- based on AMD’s newcastle core. Both these CPUs are clocked at 2.4GHz. We take both of these CPUs out for a ride today. Lets take a look at the testbed.
