AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 Processor Review
Tech-Report does their normal review goodness of the new AMD Athlon 64 FX-57. This single core CPU is the fastest one in the world for gaming. However it isn't exactly future proof as gaming companies move to dual-core support.IT MAY BE AMONG the last of a dying breed. The Athlon 64 FX-57 is AMD's latest and greatest single-core enthusiast-oriented CPU, a 200MHz clock speed bump in an era when such an increase is becoming more of a rarity than a regular event. This single-core monster runs at 2.8GHz, which is awfully fast in the world of AMD K8 processors. It also packs a handful of revisions that make it more potent, clock for clock, than its predecessor, the FX-55.
