	Hardware Extreme - AMD Athlon 64 FX-51 Processor Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Athlon 64 FX-51 is the first of the Athlon 64 FX to be launched.
		The 64 basically means that it is a 64-bit processor built on AMD's Athlon 64 architecture (previously known as x86-64), and the FX comes from their launch partner, NVIDIA and their latest product line of GeForce FX.
		This is basically the basic fundamental that AMD used in designing AMD's 8th generation processors, the Athlon 64 FX (as well as the Athlon 64 and Opteron).

	Athlon 64 FX-57 Review \| Hardware Secrets (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Athlon 64 FX-57 uses the socket 939 pinout, the same platform used by Athlon 64 FX-55, Athlon 64 FX-53 and newer Athlon 64 CPUs like Athlon 64 4000+ and Athlon 64 3800+.
		From FX-53 model on Athlon 64 FX uses the socket 939 platform, which is the same platform used by newer Athlon 64 CPUs.
		Athlon 64 FX-55 is quoted at USD 915, on average, while Athlon 64 4000+ is quoted at USD 586, also on average.

	AMD's Athlon 64 4000+ and FX-55 processors - The Tech Report - Page 1
		For the uninitiated, the Athlon 64 FX is AMD's image part, one of those super-expensive products that exist to demonstrate to the world what a company is capable of producing.
		The real mind bender is the Athlon 64 4000+, which is basically the same darned thing as the Athlon 64 FX-53: an Athlon 64 processor clocked at 2.4GHz with dual memory channels and 1MB of L2 cache.
		Since the Athlon 64 3800+ has a 512K L2 cache and a 2.4GHz heartbeat, you could be forgiven for expecting the 4000+ to have the same size cache and purr along at 2.6GHz.

	Welcome to AnandTech.com [ Article: AMD Athlon 64 & Athlon 64 FX - It's Judgment Day] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		As we mentioned before, the 128KB L1 cache remains unchanged from the original Athlon XP and its exclusive nature means that the Athlon 64 has a total of 1088KB of cache for data storage (the remaining 64KB is for instruction storage).
		Sigh, the Athlon 64 FX With the release of the 865PE and 865G chipsets, Intel has ensured that virtually all Pentium 4 processors on the market are paired with very high-bandwidth dual-channel memory subsystems.
		For the Athlon 64 to become the mainstream part that AMD wants it to be, they need to significantly reduce the die size - a shrink that the move to 90nm would be able to do just that.

	ZDNet India : Athlon 64 FX: A reality check
		We tested the Athlon 64 in Legacy mode, running a 32-bit version of Windows XP as it will have to compete with a 32-bit Intel family, for at least the next year.
		This again may be because of the lack of optimisation, but it also emphasises that finding applications for the Athlon 64 FX may be a problem.
		The Athlon 64 FX is priced at $733, while the Pentium 4 3.2 GHz is available in the range of $600 to $700.

	[H] Enthusiast - AMD Athlon 64 FX-57
		AMD’s Athlon 64 FX processor series is far from new, but there are a few new features in their FX-57 CPU that we are looking at today.
		Rounding out AMD’s lineup is the Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core processor, the Athlon 64, the Sempron, and finally the aging Athlon XP.
		Nowadays, the FX series is simply defined by a healthier clock speed as 1MB L2 caches have seeped down into the vanilla Athlon 64 line of CPUs.

		AMD expects the bulk of Athlon 64 FX processors to be sold to computer enthusiasts in PIB (processor in a box) form or by small "extreme PC" system builders.
		AMD expects the Athlon 64 FX to outperform the Athlon 64, as it is designed with more advanced features like higher clock speed and wider memory bandwidth; we expect it to be the highest-performing 32-bit PC processor at launch.
		In 1,000-unit quantities, the Athlon 64 processor 3200+ is $417 and the Athlon 64 FX-51 is $733.

		The Athlon 64 on the other hand has only a single-channel memory controller and is aimed at the desktop and mobile markets in Socket754.
		I won't go into the full cloak-and-dagger aspect of it, but suffice to say this is one product we had to pretty much sneak under the radar to even get a look at, and we're grateful to Plus Corporation for their assistance.
		The motherboard in the Athlon 64 FX testbed is ASUS's SK8N, based on NVIDIA's nForce 3 pro150 chipset.

	Athlon 64 FX vs Pentium 4 Extreme Edition. Part 4
		Although Athlon XP 3200+ here strongly lags behind Intel processors, the new super-gamer's Athlon 64 FX-51 (and even the future Athlon 64 3400+ featuring a single memory channel) adds almost 20% of speed to Athlon XP and becomes a sure leader.
		But at the "graphics" and "processor" sub-indices, the leaders are evident and change depending on the task: at graphics, Athlon 64 rules, whereas at the processor the Pentium 4 is significantly faster (by 38%!) (almost no matter if the L3 cache is available or not).
		While Athlon 64 added 10 to 30% as compared to Athlon XP due to the more advanced micro architecture, then the greater L3 cache adds 3 to 10% of performance to Pentium 4 Extreme Edition.

	PC Perspective - Athlon 64 FX-51 Processor Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The technology powering the Athlon 64 FX and the AMD Opteron hasn’t changed since the launch back in April, so I won’t bother going over again what all the new AMD64 architecture entails.
		While that CPU, the Athlon 64 3200+, is still being released today as well, you won’t see as much buzz about it because AMD wants all of the attention on the new flagship, their jewel that will take back the performance crown from Intel, the FX-51.
		The Athlon FX memory controller is 128-bit (dual-channel) while the Athlon 64 is a single channel 64-bit memory controller.

		Whatever the case, the Athlon 64 FX-53 is here, ready to challenge the P4 Extreme Edition and all comers for the Overall Performance Lead in the x86 processor world.
		Unlike the Athlon 64, though, the Athlon 64 FX nestles into a 940-pin socket and supports dual channels of DDR400 memory, giving it up to 6.4GB/s of memory bandwidth.
		I chose to graph the Athlon 64 FX chips to correspond with the clock speeds of the regular, non-FX Athlon 64 processors.

	Ace's Hardware
		The 940 pin Athlon 64 FX-51 is in fact a disguised Opteron at 2.2 GHz and the memory controller requires registered or buffered DDR RAM.
		Athlon 64 FX boards allow you to use up four 2 GB DIMMS (very expensive) for a total of 8 GB of RAM.
		So the Athlon 64 FX is a true 64 bit workstation CPU: ECC, 64-bit addressing, and a platform that can break the 4 GB memory limit.

		The brief characteristics of the two new desktop AMD processors versus the forerunner AMD Athlon XP 3200+ are all summarized in Table 1.
		Basically, the computation core of AMD Athlon 64 procesors is merely a slightly modified core of former Athlon XP (see the screenshots).

	AMD preparing Athlon 64 FX? \| The Register
		The Athlon FX may well be the latter, and AMD is simply re-branding Opterons accordingly.
		Rumours that emerged in July that AMD was working on a low-cost 32-bit chip called the Athlon FX, based on the Thorton core, as a replacement for the Duron, would suggest the Athlon 64 FX is a low-end part.
		At the time of the Athlon FX rumours, our AMD sources told us the 'FX' naming scheme had nothing to do with Thorton, and in any case was only a suggestion for possible product branding.

		In this context, it is pretty interesting to know that AMD derives several Athlon 64 and Athlon 64 FX models from these two cores.

		We threw a couple of quotes at you from respected names in the industry when we looked at the FX-51, but just to remind you again what the head honchos think about 64 bit technology here they are again.
		This is because as well as opening up a whole new world of 64 bit computing, the Athlon64 can also run all your existing 32 bit software too, and not in some slow-as-treacle kind of emulation mode, natively at full speed!
		Basically, the "FX" is a higher performance part offering increased cache compared to the regular 3000+ and a 128bit memory controller.

		Like the rest of AMD's eighth generation Athlon 64 processors, the FX-53 allows users to run both 32-bit applications and 64-bit applications on the same PC, assuming they have a 64-bit operating system.
		The chip uses a performance rating system that incorporates the rating "51" as a baseline, unlike AMD's other Athlon 64 and Athlon XP chips that use ratings such as the 3200+, which provides a comparison with Intel's chips.
