AMD Athlon FX-57 Review

The FX-57 is based on the new 90nm based San Diego Core that adds SSE3 instructions to AMD CPUs. The speed of this CPU is 2800MHz which is reached by using a multiplier of 14X with a 200MHz HTT. As with all FX series CPUs, the L2 cache is 1MB in size.

..While there’s no denying that the FX-57 is the fastest solution for games and everyday use applications that still rely very much on the single CPU, we feel that it wont be too long before most applications will utilize dual core or multiple CPUs and thus we would recommend the dual core AMD X2 CPU over the FX any day as we feel it has much brighter future.
