Reviews of the AMD Athlon 64 FX-62

CNET Review
The Good: Faster performance than the previous-generation dual-core Athlon FX-60.
The Bad: Intel's new, potentially faster chips are right around the corner.
The Bottom Line: AMD's Athlon 64 FX-62 helps usher in the new Socket AM2 chipset, but incremental performance gains make AMD look vulnerable to Intel's next-gen chips, due later this year.

Review Summary: An interesting sideshow for the multicore main event, but Intel still holds the centre stage

Review Summary: In professional applications - for audio, video, photo and 3D editing, for example - multi- threading is already the norm and as we found in our Kenstfield reviews, performance in optimised applications scales very nicely as you add more processors.

Review Summary: Thanks to the FX-62's pitiful overclocking headroom (we only managed to squeeze out another 200MHz), the FX-62 gets rogered. It's also spanked by the £119 E6300. If the FX is to become competitive once again, AMD badly needs to push it well beyond 3GHz
