AMD FX-57 to Arrive in Two Weeks

AMD’s FX-57 processor will be unveiled at the same time as NVIDIA’s G70 GPU, predicts the INQ:

When the Green Goblin from Santa Clara launched its succesfull nForce4 chipset, it had an ultimate companion: Green Arrow from Sunnyvale launched Athlon 64 4000+ on the very same day.

During Computex in Taiwan.. ..we learned that the Green Goblin will get another boost from Green Arrow: highly-expected FX-57 CPU is supposed to make an appearance in third week of June, at the same time with unveiling of upcoming nV’s latest baby, G70 - its rumoured, but as yet unconfirmed name is the GeForce 7800.

What we expect is that the [FX-57 CPU] won’t boost the score too much in 3DMark05, which is a pretty GPU-bound benchmark, but a plethora of other games with more CPU intensive code will certanly add to the results of G70 reference boards compared to the competition.
