by Ilya Gavrichenkov

AMD has overclocked its top gaming processor to 2.8GHz. Besides, the Athlon 64 FX is now based on the new 90nm San Diego core which brings in SSE3 support, improved overclockability and reduced heat dissipation. But are these things worth paying over $1000 for? Find the answer in our report!

Mathematical computations

Did you expect anything else in math1ematical modeling tasks? The high-performance FPUs of Athlon 64 CPUs leave no chance to the competing processors.

3D rendering

If there were no dual-core architectures, the Athlon 64 FX-57 would be the best processor for 3D rendering. But such tasks can be easily paralleled, so the use of single-core architectures is now inefficient for them.
