AMD removed the core count suffix X2, X3 and X4 from the logo and changed its nomenclature instead: 9000 models have four cores, while the upcoming triple cores have a 7000 model number. AMD has had a difficult year. Not only did the long anticipated...

This is as good as it gets for AMD in the mainstream, but previously weve given it a smack, due to a £300+ pricetag. With it now showing up as low as £115 online - a tenner more than the 400MHz slower 5200 - a public flogging is no longer in order.It...

In the last 10 months AMD has been suffering under the Intel dominating success of the Core 2 Duo series and lately the Core 2 Quad QX6700 has left AMD with no product to match.The contender - the AMD K8L - has been delayed time and time again. On pap...
The AMD Athlon 64 series has a couple of years behind it by now - years with great success because of its strong FPU and internal memory controller. It managed to outperform both the Intel Pentium 4 and the Pentium D series, but it comes up short in co...

With the launch of the AMD Athlon64 X2-6000 today, AMD finally hits the 3.0GHz mark. Lets start by taking a look at the CPU-Z screenshot for this CPU.As you can see, there isn’t anything new about the X2-6000+. AMD has used their older 90nm based Wi...
With regards to Overclocking, we werent expecting much to begin with as the X2-6000+ is basically the same CPU as the 5200+ with increased voltage for a higher clock speed. We were only able to go as high as 215MHz FSB which resulted in an increase of...

AMDs Athlon 64 FX-62 was launched in May 2006 and still remains the fastest AM2 processor around. We took a look at it and surmised that whilst it was fast, Intels Core 2 Extreme X6800 was better. Intel then added the quad-core whammy in November...
Whats evident is that the AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+, clocked in at 3GHz, is not the fastest CPU around. That honour falls squarely on Intels Core 2 family, headlined by Core 2 Extreme QX6700 and X6800 quad- and dual-core processors, respectively. AMDs...

Its actually simple: Intels current core is really better than that of AMD. Whether its a fair 64-bit application, or an older 32-bit one; whether its multi-way (multi-core) optimized, or is single-threaded classics. In almost every situation Inte...

A new Athlon 64 X2 top model launches, squeezing 3.0 GHz out of AMDs 90 nm silicon. It cannot end Intels Core 2 Extreme supremacy, but AMDs aggressive pricing fuels the price war, making the 6000+ somewhat affordable.

Its ironic, really. s latest X2 6000+ runs at 3.0GHz, while s fastest Core 2 Extreme Edition tops out at 2.93GHz. Talk about a turnabout. To be fair, Intel is still shipping higher-clocked Pentium 4 and Pentium D processors, but few people pay atte...
Relatively low cost for the top single-socket AM2 CPU from AMD.
Not as speedy in most things as Intels Core 2 Duo E6700; higher power consumption.

The Athlon 64 X2 6000+ launch is anticlimactic in some areas, as a 200 MHz increase to the existing Athlon 64 FX architecture can only yield a finite performance gain. That does supply new Athlon 64 X2 high water marks in most performance benchmarks...

AMDs two old-school tricks, the price cut and the clock speed bump, have combined to give the Athlon 64 X2 6000+ a pretty good value proposition. Performance-wise, the X2 6000+ is slower overall than the Core 2 Duo E6700, but not by much. That may be...

Frankly speaking the launch of the new AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ processor is not a very big event. Until promising new cores based on K8L micro-architecture come out, AMD will hardly be able to surprise us with anything. After the launch of Intel Core 2...
