AMD has for the last couple of years been collecting successes with its Athlon64 processors with the FX models as the high end performance monsters. The FX processors have been granted unlocked multiplier and 1MB L2 cache, but have also been single core. AMD launched its X2 series in the middle of 2005 which is AMD's first desktop processor with dual cores and it has now chosen to send the successor of the FX-57 down the same path.
We will today take a closer look at AMD's latest addition to the FX series called FX-60. The name hides nothing less than a processor with dual cores working at 2.6GHz. The frequency is equal to the old FX-55, but AMD has been convinced that this can perform just as good as, if not even better, than FX-57. Whether this is true or not remains to see from our performance tests.
First of all we compare the new FX-60 with AMD's other processors.
