FX57 or FX60?. I am very close to buying a new system and the price difference between the FX57 and the FX60 is nominal. According to this chart: the FX57 actually does better with graphics/gaming (I think). I realize the FX60 is dual core but, will that really...

WHY IS THE AMD FX-60 SO DAMN SLOW?. I think we all know where this is going to go. Because the Conroe is a 4-issue (per core) processor. The Athlon 64 FX-60 is only a 3-issue (per core) processor. It is similar to comparing the higher clocked Radeon...

was an old Prestonia which I don't believe even has 64-bit support. The Tomshardware article is similarly meaningless in this regard. It only compares the performance between the X2 4800+ and the FX-57 in 32-bit and 64-bit modes. That's hardly groundshaking...

and my wife is a stay at home mom). But if Conroe comes out at $530 and wipes the floor with the FX-60, I will probably be buying myself a nice used FX-57 or FX-60 rig on eBay for under $200. :D Score for me! Seriously, it is fun to debate who is better...

AMD SAYS IT CAN STILL BEAT INTEL CORES WITH OPTERONS. Music to my ears... :wink: The best thing of K8L is that it will not use HTT 2.0, instead, they'll jump straight to HTT 3.0. That's fantastic since this can scale MP systems up to 32 way. [/quote...

Wait a minute... the FX-60.... Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm sure someone has brought this up before, but I just wanna get this clear. The X2 4800+ runs at 2.4 GHz, right? The FX-60 is based on the same architecture, runs at 2.6 GHz, and is about $300 more...

Say hello to FX60. Enjoy 939 while it lasts as this is the last 939 chip. And according to anandtech the fx57 prices are going down and the FX60 is priced just above $1000 so street prices should be roughly = to the 955EE.. Enjoy 939 while it lasts...

FX60 and FX57 a bit overpriced, as I have an anersion to paying nearly double the price for 200 more MHz... If I were you, I'd save a couple hundred $$, and find an Opty170 or 175, and then OC it to FX60 levels. Techincaly, you could easily save $50 more...

Building the Ultimate Gaming PC. OK, so I started a post in the CPU section trying to decide between a AMD 64 FX-60 and FX-57 and now am more confused than ever. lol (If I sound at all crabby in any part of this, I'm sorry. It's just the more research...

faster than Intel's $999 3.73GHz EE. In this case however, its doubtful that the FX-60 will have the 20% increase in performance to justify its 20% increase in price over the 955EE. The Inquirer actually found the FX-60 to be slower than the FX-57 in games,...
