THE AMD FX-60 is due out in the second week of January.

Preliminary reports are that it will be a decent overclocker, early samples went to almost 3GHz on air, with little or no tweaking. If you couple it with the new NVidia 7800/512 cards, you will be easily able to break the 15K barrier in 3DMark05.

It won't be a cheap rig, but it is something a lightly trained monkey can shatter records with.

You have to love progress.

What is the stock clock speed? I was thinking sn't 3ghz going to be the stock speed...

Wasn't it meant to come out on M2?
 
the inquirer reports that the FX-60 is a 2.6ghz dual core chip with 1mb cache and seeing how it's an fx series chip it will have unlocked multipliers for all of you overclocker's.

The FX-60 double core, by no means the M2 connection, still is DDR, 939 platforms!

Simply tests CPU MARK 99: 362 minute

This will be no different from any other FX processor, ridiculously overpriced for minimal performance increases over other processors priced hundreds of dollars left...unlocked multiplier isn't worth $1000

If you couple it with the new NVidia 7800/512 cards, you will be easily able to break the 15K barrier in 3DMark05.
I love how they overexegerate so much...3Dmark05 is dependant on GPU power and you won't see more than a few hundred points difference between a 3000+ and an FX-57...furthermore, 3Dmark05 is single threaded therefore the FX-57 will perform faster than FX-60 considering that core is clocked higher than either of these cores
