It's no big secret that AMD is scheduled to launch its dual-core Server and professional workstation Opteron processors later in the year.

However details of what's set to be let loose to hunt down Intel's recently announced Pentium Extreme Edition 840 have, up till now, been well hidden...

HEXUS can exclusively reveal that the CPU is to be named the AMD Athlon 64 X2

It will be available at least in the following models:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+

Our source in Greenbriar also confirms that AMD currently has no plans to introduce 'FX' variants of its dual-core desktop processors.

The flagship AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ will have both its cores operating at 2.4GHz, the same frequency as the AMD Athlon 64 4000+, and we'll be surprised if this doesn't rape the already impressive Pentium Extreme Edition 840 we reviewed here.

Xtra stuff later...

I don't even know what this Dual Core stuff is. I'm assuming it's a good thing judging by all your enthusiastic replies. Anyone care to explain the inner-workings of this Dual Core tech?  :huh:

It's two cores instead of a single core. It works like dual cpu machine but without the expensive motherboard.

Dual core 'can' increase performance by 50-80% on applications that are multithreaded. Some apps will show no improvements until they are rewritten, which I bet will also happen.

The Operating System will be smother and won't freeze up when trying to do two intense things at once. Play a game and scan for viruses it will tear through without freezing up.

Two cores are better then one. :)

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.

      CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
