By Rodrigo Chia on June 27, 2005 - 2:22 PM


As expected, AMD launched today its Athlon 64 FX-57, a processor aimed at gamers and publicly promoted for its overclocking capabilities. The first FX product fabbed at 90 nm brings new features such as support for DDR533 memory and SSE3 instructions. The socket 939 FX-57 is clocked at 2.8 GHz and integrates 1 MB of L2 cache. AMD stressed that, despite its willingness to assure safer overclocking, the practice still voids warranty. The FX-57 is priced at USD 1,031.
