I found this site http://www.pcpop.com/doc/0/138/138222.shtml
There are few benchmarks, but what wonders me is date of package on FX!
According to pictures it was packed end of January 2006!
One more thing is that gains in sisoft CPU Arthmetic are bigger than from 200MHz gap betwen FX-60 and FX62, so it looks that AM2 is a little tweaked core ;)
Mayby users of AM2 systems may comment this anomaly :confused:
nah, i'd attribute that extra bit of performance to the higher bandwidth ddr2 :toast:Quote:

Numbers aren't worth the upgrade.(from 939)
one thing to keep in mind is that the ram was at 4-5-5.. at 312mhz. those timings CAN'T be good for latency :p:Quote:

:( $1200 is a bit much for that...either something is wrong, or AMD is taking a page out of Intel's play book(they'll still pay for it mantra)
nice find
it sounds like a old fx-62 chip that they had made back then , i am curious why they used 333mhz ddr2 memory on it
the new fx-62 is suppose to be 89watts , lets hope that we will see a improvement on it
it won't be as long as it has been , the 23rd will be here in no time
Makes perfect sense. Think back to X2s. They came out distinctly after San Diego and Venice, and yet the first X2s were like 0513 and 0517.Quote:

weird thing stock volts for a fx-62 are 1.4v.
also nda expires on the 23rd
no fx-62 stock volt is 1.4v not more not lessQuote:

If AMD raised stock volts it's their way of saying not enough chips could do 2.8 Ghz, that's no good. I know plenty of good Opties can do 2.8 GHz on 1.31 volts.
I'm curious about how hot 2.8 Ghz with 1.40 volts is going to get on the stock cooler. Trust me even with the FX/Opty heatsink it will get HOT.
stock voltage for amd's dual cores has always been 1.3/1.35v.. until nowQuote:

Last revision of AM2 ENG sample processors was spreaded to partners in march if i remember correctly, so i'm curious how production FX-62 can be 0604??
PS. Anyone notice that on second page there is picture of socet M2 !! instead of AM2?? mayby they are using older (cancelled) components??
why is stock volts 1.4v....and the numbers even though they are stock on there with probably no tweaking dont look so hot..
every AM2 board i've seen so far has just M2 written on the socket :confused:Quote:

I know that older boards was labeled M2, but then AMD renamed socket for AM2, so every new board should be labeled AM2 on socket.
But if companies buy a lot of M2 labeled sockets I could be wrong ;)
1) Stock Voltage is High
2) Latency is horrible
3) And is it just me or is this number unusually low? http://img2.pcpop.com/ArticleImages/.../000277506.jpg

Simply divide FX60 scores by 26 and multiply result by 28 :)
Diference is small, around 161MIPS and 191MFLOPS:stick:
guess i didn't look hard enough :p:Quote:

I want to see a real review :(

Wait 3 days ;)Quote:

if i had my way, i'd have hardware to test at this very moment, but motherboard mfgs don't like me, and i have finals this week, so it's probably for the best :fact:Quote:

However, that yonah will be useless when vista comes out...Quote:

shoudl help with the temps considering how bad most of AMDs IHSs are..
Exactly my point, you'll have to buy another processor.
This is the reason Yonah hasn't caught on with much beyond the bencher/upgrade 3 times a year crowd.
Why do you have to buy another?
Because there is no x86-64 instructions in the yonah.
and who said vista is 64bit only?
is 32bits and 64bits
Nobody but the only real issue with the yonah is the lack of 64bit support.
Less than half of the vista versions will be 64bit enabled.
**First Post** :D
I don't hope this is AMD's answer to the Conroe. If yes they are screwed. :slobber:
nope, that's what K8L is for :toast:Quote:

Thay are a commercial company and are always developing stuff.
Thanks :p:Quote:

well wrong k8l is due to early 2007 or maybe earlier due to conroe ownage
it was supposed to be their answer but conroe was way to much for it to handdle so conroe ownage for now.
No this isn't their response but none the less it is a required step.Quote:
