i think AMD has to release a chip capable of equalling a 4GHz intel chip before they can call anything an FX. back when Athlon FX was introduced, it actually beat something from the blue team ;-)

Right now all AMD CPUz are like Neutered dogs, they shoot blanks. The "FX" title should only be given to the stud of CPUz, and AMD has no stud

No, for that you have to go to Intel for their dual core Celerons and Pentium C2D's, whose neutered cache puts them behind many of the Athlon X2's that AMD's selling in a buyer's market.
That's what I thought too. So, the website could be old news not updated. On the other hand, it could represent a change of mind at AMD.
Personally, I never found the Athlon FX or the Intel Extreme Editions to be worth much considering their pricing.

I think all of AMD's site is old. They still have it comparing ATI vs Intel vs NVidia integrated graphics on FarCry.
And also what do you think the Semprons are? They are the Celerons of AMD. And actually the Pentium DC's are quite nice and once OC'ed can take on many of the high end Athlon X2's.
Why anyone is allowed to create such crap In the current computing age is beyond me.

The Celeron 1200 at stock is indeed quite a dog of a performer, but the Pentium E series aren't nearly as bad as you claim.
Despite all that cache 'neutering' a E21x0 still keeps pace with an X2 clocked 400MHz higher. In fact even the Celeron is equal to the X2s clock for clock, so it's only really a 'dog' because its stock clock is too low. Who wants to bet that a Celeron will overclock better than a budget X2?

I know the celeron E can overclock a lot but even overclocked it doesn't performs. Btw, If they overclock without raising the voltage, and keeps lower price than an A64 x2 (ludicrous low price actually), then I'm in.

Phenom FX is different from Phenom BE. Black Edition simply means the multiplier is unlocked, while FX means high clock + unlocked multiplier.
Or simply put, FX = Intel's Extreme Edition. However, this has yet to come to fruition due to AMD's inability to clock them high enough in the first place.

I wonder what speed a Phenom would need to be to qualify for an 'FX' moniker? I feel 3GHz should be the minimum, I can imagine the sniggers of a 2.6GHz Phenon FX that underperforms a Q6600. Then again, that didn't stop Intel slapping on the 'EE' (Expensive Edition) on their P4s when they were getting beat by A64s.

If my memory serves me right, Phenom FX was originally planned to launch at 2.8Ghz, just above 9900 (2.6Ghz).
