AM2 3500+ Performance Preview
 

After the phenomenal success of Athlon64, AMD’s upcoming socket AM2 based CPUs are certainly riding on high expectations. From what we know, these CPUs are supposed to be launched at Computex this year which leaves AMD about a month to go. These “new” CPUs are basically the same Athlon64 CPUs that we see and use everyday, except the memory controller has been upgraded by AMD to support DDR2 modules

Not setting the world on fire but admittedly everything was beta.
Maybe production units will be better but still, early adopters beware. I might just wait for the revision2 CPU's in 2007....

arrggghh those timings on ddr2 are :puke:

and the ddr800 was 2T command rate also.

we know that am2 90nm version is not bringing the new performance standard, but there will be a small performance gain.
