We knew from the word go that the AMD Athlon FX-60 was going to be the faster processor but so it should be at $700 more. The FX-60 is a great gaming processor but the chances are you already know this. What we wanted to look at was how the FX-60 comp...

At the end of 2005 AMD had a superb range of desktop processors but there was a serious anomaly right at the top of the range. The £740 Athlon 64 FX-57 was supposed to be the performance king, and if you looked at isolated benchmarks it was the fastest pr...
The conclusion is quite simple. Athlon 64 FX-60 is a missile of a processor and if you thought it was worth the cash to buy one of the previous models of FX then you should place your order for an FX-60 now. However, if you currently own an Athlon 64 X2...

Good all around performance; runs relatively cool, even flat out; great dual-core CPU for PC gaming.
Expensive; only equals Intels new 955 Extreme Edition in many benchmarks.
