The performance of all Athlon 64 X2 5000 versions is the same. The 65-nm models are marginally slower in some benchmarks due to increased L2 cache latency. However, such a small difference is negligible and ultimately unimportant.

While Intel continues to pop out sockets and processors on an almost daily basis, AMD has been more circumspect in revamping its range. This is the first set of processors from AMD that rejects standard DDR (double data rate) RAM in favour of the m...
As an upgrade, the Athlon processors dont yet make sense. The chips themselves are expensive, and by the time youve factored in a motherboard and some extra DDR2 memory you could be looking at paying twice as much – especially if youre looking to b...

AMDs 65nm CPUs consume less power and run cooler than their predecessors, but these were never particular problems for the Athlon 64 X2. Performance against the Core 2 Duo is the issue, and the move to 65nm doesnt improve this. Our 65nm chip overcloc...

Sooner or later, AMD had to bite the bullet- the transition from DDR to DDR2 had to be made. What was making it harder for AMD is the high latency that’s associated with DDR2 memory. This hurts AMD more than Intel since they have an integrated memor...
One thing thats clear from the benchmarks in the previous pages is that if you already own an FX-60, there is no need to rush out and buy the new 5000+. We didnt receive the FX-62 from AMD so we cant say how well that will compete against the FX-60. Th...

In this article well review another two AMD Socket AM2 processors: Athlon 64 X2 5000+ and Athlon 64 X2 4800+. These are rather interesting because the former has performance rating higher by 200 points due to its 2.6GHz clock rate versus 2.4GHz clock...

This round shows the gap between Intel and AMD taking a wider gap in favor of AMD for the first time; to be candid the FX62 was a smoking gun as an out of box product. AMD has really made advancements the past year with new faster CPUs and better chips...
