what is the frontside bus of 939 soc.

[newdude]

I'm confused does the athlon 64 socket 939 have the same frontside bus as the socket 754?

I believe all of the sckt 939 chips with the exception of the 2.2ghz 3400+ are 1000(2000 effective). The 3400 is only 800(1600)which is why the call it a 3400+ instead of a 3500+

YES! NO! What are you calling the FSB? It has the same link to the Northbridge. Some newer chipsets support 1000HT (sometimes called 2000MHz because it's duplexed), older chipsets support the old 800HT bus only.

Dude that is marketing crap. It runs a 1ghz not 2ghz because it bidirctional. It doesn’t get more throughput. It’s like saying i have a 20ghz machine because it runs a 2.2ghz and has 9 execution units.

Dichromatic for your viewing plesure...

The FSB rating is somewhat out of place with the A64 platform. It still has a "FSB" setting in the BIOS, and if that's what you're talking about, yes...they're both 200MHz.

The AMD doesn't use the traditional FSB label, because it relies on a <A HREF="http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/20030923/athlon_64-10.html" target="_new">"HyperTransport" interface</A>. It's a bit confusing if you're not an electronics engineer (LOL).

the "FSB" of an A64 is the HTTx (1x,2x,3x,4x,5x)x200 for a max of 1000 which is full duplex which is like 2000.
