AMD's first socket AM2 CPU Tested
 

Things are changing quite a bit. First, we have to say that the AM2 platform we received for this quick preview was as stable as a production system - this probably would not have been the case few years ago. Second, it is interesting to see that AMD is ready to launch AM2, and yet it is still waiting for the right moment. DDR2-800 and higher chip densities are a good justification for delaying the launch to late Q2.

:woot:

Looking at the results, at the moment they seem pretty much on par with AMD DDR systems; seeing as the AMD S939 are highly polished and this AM2 system is in alpha test (3.5 months before launch) - there won't be any miracles even in June I think.

when you overclock your memory from DDR400 to DDR600 and leave your CPU at the same Mhz you see almost NO increase in speed.

with DDR2 you'll have more bandwidth... to do what exactly?

to make your Sandra Memory Benchmark E-Penis bigger =P
