AMD Athlon 64: the benchmarks
Talkback Why don't you get a copy of 64 bit Linux and run some 32 bit Pentium Extreme V 64 bit Athlon benchmarks to give a real idea of the performance difference. These are 32 bit bench marks.

AMD launches new desktop Athlon 64s
Talkback From the day I planned to nominate the full component parts of my first computer to be assembled by a professional, I had decided that AMD would be the chosen processor. I have had three upgrades to my PC in the following, three years with

Cheaper dual-core Athlon released by AMD
Talkback I am looking very much forward to this. Having myself owned a couple dual-CPU computers over time (including the popular Abit BP-6 motherboard), I know from experience that the most significant benefit is not the top speed, but rather the fact that...

AMD Athlon 64: the benchmarks
Talkback WOW! You seem all hyped up for no reason. ZDNet gets their benchmarks from a faulty source. Plus they only used 4 processors: the benchmarks I saw used 6. I'm not saying AMD sucks because I hate Pentium, but the new Pentiums kind of own the AMD's...

AMD Athlon 64: the benchmarks
Talkback More than any other application - its High Performance Scientific Computing that needs the extra juice that new processors offer. Obviously it would be great for me if I can finish the jobs that take 2 day in 4 hours.

AMD Athlon 64: the benchmarks
Talkback Come on industry - AMD has a serious product that could benefit us all! Don't forget, these bench marks are predominantly 32bit tests! Imagine an FX-51 with 2Mb on die L3 Cache (like P4EE).running software optimized for 64-bit.

A first look at AMD's Athlon 64 review
Reviews The very names the company gave its Athlon XP chips were designed to underscore the fact that they could hold their own against Intel competitors running at faster clock speeds: the Athlon XP 2400+, for example, runs not at 2.4GHz, but at 2GHz.

AMD Athlon 64: the benchmarks
Talkback Intel, thinking they would have the advantage by quoting their clock speeds extremely high, has just had their head handed to them with the new 64 bit athlon fx processor. Rather than concentrating on clock speed, athlon has paid attention to what...

AMD Athlon 64: the benchmarks
Talkback It would have been nice to see some sort of comparison against the Apple G5. Increasingly the best software is open source and it doesn't matter what OS you use. Is there an open source benchmark you could add to your suite?

AMD Athlon 64: the benchmarks
Talkback AMD once again proves that GHz is not everything. Even test running on the 32bit simulation layer of this 64bit 2.2Ghz CPU outperforms the faster by 1 BILLION Cycles per second Intel XEON processor. Amazing.

A first look at AMD's Athlon 64
Talkback But while faster clock speeds and newer processor architectures are being achieved and done, it's a fact that still, a majority of PC users can pretty much do what they want in their current Athlon XP-based systems.

AMD launches new desktop Athlon 64s
Talkback For the first time in history, AMD is leading the PC processor design, and Intel is following. The AMD 64 processors are the evolution of the x86 32 bit design. AMD usually followed Intel, because in the past Intel knew where the market was going.
