| Conclusions |
Quad FX platform is a provisory solution from AMD to compete with Intel quad-core CPUs, since AMD doesn’t have yet technology to build CPUs with more than two cores. Nowadays Quad FX platform supports two CPUs (four cores), but AMD has already announced their plans to release on the second half of this year an eight-core platform – probably using two four-core CPUs.
We haven’t the opportunity yet to benchmark AMD’s Quad FX platform in order to compare its performance to a system using Intel’s top quad-core CPU. This would be a very interesting review that would tell us what is the best buy, a Quad FX system or a quad-core Core 2 Extreme one.
Quad FX platform brings as advantage an amazing number of extra ports that today can’t be found on an out-of-the-box PC based on Intel’s quad-core CPU, like four PCI Express x16 slots, four Gigabit Ethernet ports, 20 USB 2.0 ports and 12 SATA-300 ports. Of course it is also possible to build an Intel-based PC with four Gigabit ports, 20 USB 2.0 ports and 12 SATA-300 ports, but you would need to install add-in cards to expand the number of ports available by your motherboard.
If Quad FX will be a winner or a flop isn’t certain, only time will tell. |
