Athlon 64 FX-74 & Quad FX Platform

Be sure to take a look at our evaluation of AMD’s Athlon 64 FX-74 & Quad FX platform today at [H] Enthusiast. Very good reading on the latest and greatest from the folks at AMD. And please, remember to Digg it if you dig it.

The FX-74 processors sit atop of NVIDIA’s nForce 680a chipset, an enthusiast class board you’d expect to be running Google’s web servers instead of a heated game of Ghost Recon. The Quad FX Platform truly comes into play in the second half of 2007 when AMD will have their native quad-core processors ready, giving you a 4-core by 4-core system.
