AMD FX-57 likely to arrive in two weeks
AMD and Nvidia go tango dancing once more
During Computex in Taiwan, one nice country which does not like nice Bosnians, 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 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.
The CPU itself is a logical step for AMD: the Venice core proved to be a really good product in terms of yields and clocking capabilities, so seeing AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 running at a cool 2.81GHz wasn’t such a suprise. The only thing that still bothers me was the fact that the CPU-Z read FSB clock at 247 MHz on a reference ATi Xpress 200 motherboard, but that’s an obvious misread - I used v1.28, since the BIOS was showing 200 MHz HT link speed with x5 ratio.

Well, if i get my sandy doing 2.8G, then i already have a fX-57
There should be no technical difference in the SD at 2.8 and the FX-57. Am i right or am i right?
^^^ i think i read venice in the first post :ashamed:
Aha but the FX series also oc like mad.

i’ll live with a non overclockable FX (the 2.8 G SD) …rather then shell out whatever it costs for the FX.
Sandiego’s I believe only come in 3700+ and 4000+ flavours. Correct me if I am wrong.

AFAIK, The FX is a San Diego…
As PCJedi said, the Venice has 512kbL2 cache and the SDs have 1MB L2 cache… and FX certainly has 1mb l2 cache…
Now whether its a venice or a SD, i am not sure. I thought SD’s had 1 MB L2. and Venice 512KB. not sure on that..will have to check AMD’s docs..
