Socket939 is here! (9 Comments) (link)
 Tuesday, 1-June-2004  16:12:03 (GMT +10) - by Agg

AMD have released their Socket939 A64 processors at last. They announced four processors, but the two available now are the Athlon 64 FX-53 and Athlon 64 3800+. The flagship FX chip is freed from the previous limitation of requiring registered memory, as discussed in our review of the FX-51 here. The 3800+ uses the new Newcastle core, losing 512KB of cache compared to its predecessor, but gaining a 128-bit memory controller. Has the long wait for S939 been worth it?
