Athlon64 FX-53 130nm vs. Athlon 64 FX-53 90nm

Blind Arrow, Im confused, you said that socket 754 makes it 64 bit, and 939 makes it 128 bit....but the Athlon64 3000 is socket 939 and its 64 bit.

The 3000 used to be s759 then they uped to 939, they still do 759 (i think), thus it has a 759pin and a socekt 939pin cpu.

nah...they do have a 939 chip out for the 3000

this 64-bit thingi was the initial difference between FX and Athlon64. so in start, they did came on 939-pins but on 64-bit.

as they initially were defining 2 types of PC users, so this difference was in start.

but now Athlon64 is almost as same as AthlonFX, or may overcome FX series.

No Alex they never made 759pin, they made athlon64 in 754 as 2800, 3000, 3200, and 3400 all as 754. There was a difference in cores (this you dont care about but the 2800, and 3000, were Newcastle with 512k of L2 Cache, while the 3200 and 3400 came with 1mb of L2 cache and these were called Clawhammer core) they now come in 939pin as well. the 939 pin was introed with the FX series, they now make athlon 64 with 939pin and not just the fx, these chips are basically becoming the same so FX very likely could disappear. The new 939's made with the 90nm process are called Winchester.

They are all 64-bit chips. dont worry about the 128bit talk- that is about the memory controller on the chip and is different.

for more in depth info if you want it hereyago

the FX line is based off the "sledgehammer" core

hey blind arrow i hope your wish comes true
