AMD seems to be having a hard time these days, but actually they should have known what was coming. Lurking through computer hardware forums you can always spot some kind of Intel vs. AMD debate going on, but whats interesting is how AMD keeps...

In spite of the fact that our new test method dated 2007 generally satisfied our readers, we nevertheless decided to make several corrections to further improve it. Heres a brief changelog (the test method article will also be updated): Excluded I/O...
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...

March 6, 2007 An Athlon 64 X2 clocked at 3 GHz? This is what AMD proposes with the 6000+. With recent price cuts will it be enough to make a comeback and compete with Intel?AMD’s second dual core at 3 GHzThe Athlon 64 X2 isn’t the first AMD du...

In 2006, the desktop processor race once again became interesting as Intel successfully took away the performance crown from AMD. While AMD doesn't deny the lead by Intel they have broken their silence and believes that 2007 will be the year of thei...
The AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ processor is now the fastest dual-core socket AM2 processor that AMD has to offer and comes with the most agressive price we have ever seen on a flagship part...

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.

Theres nothing too surprising about AMDs Athlon 64 X2 6000+ but it is more than likely a fitting conclusion to consumer level K8 processors. It is the fastest Socket AM2 processor and should beat all of Intels processors except the E6700 and E6800 a...

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...

Near the end of 2006, AMD began releasing new versions of its Athlon 64 X2 processors. These new processor versions were the first AMD desktop chips to be manufactured using a 65 nanometer process. The move to 65nm has allowed AMD to reduce the costs a...

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.
AMD ships a 3.0GHz CPU that cant keep up with Intels midrange processor in most benchmarks, but its still a decent CPU at a relatively affordable price...

Intel has been very active on the processor front, not only releasing the first quad core desktop processor, the Core 2 Extreme QX6700, but also extending that line with a lower priced Core 2 Quad Q6600 model. AMD countered with the Quad FX, but in te...

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...

IF YOU FOLLOW CPUs at all, you already know that Intel has been pretty much cleaning up with its Core 2 processors. Since this past summer, Intel has had the drop on AMD thanks to an excellent new microarchitecture that delivers high performance with l...
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...

AMD’s major hopes for regaining their success as the processor manufacturer are closely connected with the promising K8L micro-architecture that is due to come in the second half of this year (for details see our article called AMDs Next Generation...
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...

AMD has been fairly quiet as of late. A few months ago, we took a look at their initial Quad-FX platform and FX-70 series offerings. However,on the mainstream socket AM2 front, AMD hasnt made any real noise since the release of the Athlon 64 FX-62 way bac...

AMD is a company that really needs no introduction. AMD Desktop processors have been widely used and enjoyed by users since the days of the K6-3 series. Their processor history extends much earlier than that, but the K6-3 is where things really sta...
3.0Ghz Stock Processor from AMD, Features 2MB of L2 Cache (2x 1MB), Drop-in upgrade for AM2 users.
90nm Windsor Core - Showing its age, Moderate overclocking, 65nm Brisbane processors overclock much higher.
When we were given the opportunity to take a look at the latest desktop processor from AMD, we gladly agreed and were quite excited to see how 3.0Ghz of stock dual-core Athlon 64 goodness could stack up to an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. In the end, w...
