We introduced only yesterday the prices of processors series athlon 64 FX-7x. To obtain two dual cores processor with the frequency of 3.0 GHz and 2 X 1 mb cache user will pay $999 - recently about this possibility AMD supporters could only dream. User love the free multiplier, which theoretically leaves certain space for overclock.
Nothing in this life passes free of charge :-), and the pair of processors class athlon 64 FX with the frequency of 3.0 GHz requires solid load in the form of special motherboard, good power unit, vast system block, four gigas-byte of memory… In a word, about seven thousand of dollars for the system of class quad FX.
At the given moment here the processors athlon of 64 FX-7x from the official Price- list AMD:
The mysterious DSDC architecture which is discribed simply by- Dual socket direct connect. Specifically, this architecture makes possible for two processors to exchanged data along the coherent channel hyperTransport and to use technology of memory access NUMA. the new processors has its own name - Socket 1207FX.
Focus attention, that the processor athlon 64 FX-62 (2.8 GHz) socket AM2 from the Price- list did not disappear, and has not even reduced the price. As Japanese associates report, the family of processors athlon 64 FX-6x will live. At least, this concerns the version socket AM2. The processor athlon 64 FX-60 (2.6 GHz) socket 939 will be removed from production at the end of the present year. However, now it is possible to purchase it for the sum less than $490.
The processor athlon 64 FX-62 (2.8 GHz) cost $713, whereas for $799 it is possible to purchase wholes two similar processors athlon 64 FX-72 (2.8 GHz). It would seem, wrong price policy, but for the possibility to exploit the processors athlon of 64 FX-7x it is necessary to pay for additional essential expenditures, whereas Athlon 64 FX-62 will work in the majority of motherboards socket AM2.
Why AMD did not remove the processor athlon 64 FX-62? For the answer to this question it suffices to check the benchmark result posted in previous news about The ATHLON 64 FX-74 (3.0 GHZ) VS CORE 2 EXTREME QX6700. In games the single processor athlon 64 FX-62 (2.8 GHz) is more rapid than the pair of processors athlon 64 FX-74 (3.0 GHz). Are shown the expenses of architecture NUMA and the absence of the deep optimization of contemporary games. In a word, Athlon 64 FX-62 is left in order although to somehow resist the elder processors from intel.
Today prices of the remaining processors AMD did not change. Related Products :
