X86 Secrets have thrown up a review of AMD's all new Athlon 64 3800+ with 939 pins! as the sites in French here's a translation by Google.
After several months of waiting, Athlon 64 of new generation is finally there! One will not speak here about smoothness of engraving as it is generally the case, but of functionalities. Indeed, if Athlon 64 engraved in 90 Nm are not envisaged in mass before the end of this year or the beginning of the next year, range AMD64 reaches a new stage of its development: the passage to Socket 939. In addition to the bus HyperTransport which passes from now on to 1 GHz, the principal improvement of new Athlon 64, it is of course the support of Dual Channel. Equipped with 512 KB L2 mask and available in version 3500+ and 3800+, Athlon 64 socket 939 is given rhythm respectively to 2.2 and 2.4 GHz.
For this test, we chose to compare Athlon 64 3500+ and Athlon 64 3800+ with the preceding versions like, well on, with Pentium 4 of INTEL. After a presentation of the platforms, we will study more in detail the principal improvement of this processor, the controller integrated report. Then, we shoe a rapid seen of both chipsets major intended for new Socket 939: The K8T800 Pro of VIA and the nForce3 Pro 250 of nVidia. We will connect then by benchmarks, then we will launch out in a small meeting of overclocking before concluding.
