The 64 FX-57 is only a 7 per cent improvement over its predecessor the FX 55. The 90 nm chip is clocked at 2.8GHz and has 1MB L2 cache.<\/p>\n<p>AMD plans to introduce a dual-core version of the AMD Athlon 64 FX processor when multi-threaded software games are available to take advantage of its benefits. <br \/>&#8220;AMD recognizes that today&#8217;s games are single-threaded. Users who crave the absolute best performance on 3D games and extreme applications can experience realistic physics and lighting, as well as gripping artificial intelligence and sound, with the single-core AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 processor,&#8221; said Bob Brewer, corporate vice president, Desktop Business, Microprocessor Solutions Sector (MSS), AMD.<\/p>\n<p>Rob Enderle, principal analyst for The Enderle Group said: &#8220;The AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 processor is the highest performing single-core processor in the consumer market and I believe that at least for the next 18 months, it is this single-core performance that will be most important to the most competitive players of PC games&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Speed comes at a price though. With a volume price of more than US$1000 this chip is for serious gamers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AMD announces its new PC Games Processor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-86729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","hentry","category-archive","category-hardware","post_format-gallery"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
