The new Athlon 64 FX-62 pummeled everything in its path with a near 7% speed leap over the nearest competitor (even if it is AMD's own). Now that's a commendable performance leap and not the paltry sub 3% gains we once used to see in the days of testing single-core processors. Evident from the graph, it's clear that the K8 architecture scales really well with clock speed increments, more so than Intel's current processor architecture. Even the Office Productivity suite was won over by the FX-62 despite half the cache size of Intel's dual-core lineup. The Athlon 64 X2 5000+ performed reasonably for its specifications, but when you start to consider its price, that's when it becomes more attractive since it matches the existing US$1,000 FX-60 model with regards to performance. Lets move on and see if the processor standings stay true on all accounts.
