Reviews of the AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+
-
CNET Review
The Good: Faster than Intel's current fastest, more expensive desktop CPU; beats even AMD's more expensive FX-60 chips on some tests.
The Bad: Requires new motherboard and memory; Intel's new, potentially faster CPUs are right around the corner.
The Bottom Line: AMD's new high-end dual-core CPU offers plenty of bang for the buck, outpacing Intel's Pentium 965 Extreme Edition, which costs $200 more. Sounds like a good deal, but wait to see what Intel's next-gen Core 2 Duo chips have to offer when they debut later this year.
