The Athlon 64 FX is a microprocessor from AMD. As a member of the K8 generation, it is compatible with the x86 instruction set and the same 64-bit capable, thanks to AMD64. Newer versions with two processor cores ( dual core processor ) are to be counted for K9 generation.

Sense of the Athlon 64 FX

For the Athlon 64 FX, AMD has introduced a new marketing concept: Since the clock rate anyway only to a limited extent has significance on the performance of a processor is dispensed entirely with the Athlon 64 FX on any clock information in the name and called all such processors simply Athlon 64 FX. The customer should always be sure to buy the fastest Athlon 64 when he purchases a new Athlon 64 FX. In the moment in which a faster AMD Athlon 64 FX brings, its predecessor disappears from the market. Since this is true only for virgin and would otherwise occur on the second hand market chaos, there is still a model name, however, has nothing to do with any clock speeds: the first model is called Athlon 64 FX -51 ( 2.2 GHz ), the next FX -53 (2.4 GHz ), etc. the model name has no particular reference and should only describe the performance within the model.

The Athlon 64 FX is designed primarily for home users with increased demand for computing power, for example, 3D computer games or video editing. The FX has in comparison to the rest of Athlon 64 processors, a unique feature. The FX -51 model was at the time the only Athlon 64 Dual Channel RAM (since it was a disguised Opteron ), the FX -53 for Socket 940 it was the same as the FX -53 for Socket 939 is the only Athlon 64 a Dual -channel memory controller, and 1MB L2 cache had (the first "normal" dual-channel Athlon 64 CPUs for Socket 939 had only 512 KB). The model FX -55 is for the first time with the Athlon 64 X2 identical ( the Athlon 64 4000 is just a renamed Athlon 64 FX -53, so also has 1 MB of L2 cache and a clock frequency of 2.4 GHz). The base 940- variants FX -51 and FX -53 were identical, dependent to the RAM clock and the package containing the AMD Opterons the 100 series and were on the Socket 940 motherboards with the time not yet specified 200 MHz DDR registered RAM. The FX -53 there was also for Socket 939, which allowed the need for expensive server and workstation hardware. From the FX -55, there were these processors then only for Socket 939, from the FX -62 only for Socket AM2.

A special feature of the Athlon 64 FX is the free determination of the multiplier. It is this contrary to the normal Athlon 64, change freely. Allowing a processor overclocking without increasing the reference clock.

Quad FX

With the introduction of the AMD Quad FX platform on December 30, 2006, three new models of the Athlon 64 FX were necessary. These processors are based as usual on the Windsor core, but are now dual - processor- capable and thus available only for Socket F AMD Opteron. Therefore, there is, unlike before, more than one model FX Athlon simultaneously on the market, especially as the FX -70 was introduced in series with the three models for that platform. Along with the "normal" model for Single - CPU Systems four models are available at the same time.

Model data base 940

All processors for socket 940 have a memory controller with two channels (144 -bit, dual- channel operation) for DDR SDRAM (Registered modules necessary).
