Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Dual Core Review

Sidney · 9th May 2005, 17:03

At that point Intel indicated that multi-core was the future, and MHz no longer got the focus. At CES we heard much of the same about dual core, and then it was fairly quiet other than rumored roadmap and product launch changes for both AMD and Intel. Then came the editors day at AMD where dual core Opteron and dual core Athlon was covered, and Intel surely had gotten win as in less than a week a handful of dual core P4 samples where sent to reviewers. AMD's dual core Opteron quickly followed, and then AMD brought the Athlon 64 X2 reviews up to today. Clearly there was a lot movement going on behind the scenes, and as of now you can only buy dual core Opterons out of all the products, and availability is limited. AMD points to tremendous demand for dual core Opteron for the lack of chips that are not promised to server vendors.
