To Upgrade or Not?

To upgrade or not? That is the question. At least since the launch of the new Athlon 64 FX-57, which is the question I thought. Although the FX-55, (I lead) was everything I had hoped it would be, is the new FX-57 so much better? Well, let's take a look. The Athlon 64 FX-57 has a higher clock speed of 200 MHz to 2.8 GHz compared to 2.6 GHz in the FX-55. AMD does not stop there, but added a few extras to improve performance. The chip core is based on a revised version of the K8 core code-named San Diego (1 MB L2 cache), which provides the size of the chip die at 90 nm to 130 nm. This is possible through the construction of the chip, AMD latest SOI (silicon and insulator) technology. The FX-57 has a better memory controller, making it more flexible in terms of allowing you to use different sizes in the same channel DIMM. Thus, the FX-57 soon? It is quick shout, but there is enough improvement to justify an upgrade? So it depends a bit on you. If you must have the latest processor and this is for you. With $ 1000 + price, I would be prepared to say that the Athlon 64 FX-57 is a bit too expensive for most users, or to include the fans (myself included). Especially if you spent $ 800 - $ 900 in an FX-55 only six months ago that I did. Another factor to consider is the future of processors. With a change in the industry dual-core processors as Athlon 64 X2, Athlon 64 FX-57 AMD May will be the last installment in the single processor market. Now, however, the FX-57-yet made (as of Thursday), even the fastest dual-processor heart, the Athlon 64 X2 4800 +. This is because most games are not built to take advantage of a dual processor heart, not yet anyway. So for now, FX-57 processor is the fastest games on the market.
