It has been a while since Intel introduced multi-core technology. While AMD is usually quick to match the capabilities of competing Intel CPUs while at the same time pleasing cost cutters and enthusiasts, over the past few years AMD has been struggling. No longer simply reliant upon MHz clock values and a single core, the AMD Athlon 64 CPU needs to prove that it can still offer more bang for the buck than Intel's core 2 and quad lines. Without great price savings,it will be hard for AMD to convert Intel users, or for that matter, keeping other AMD CPU consumers from switching to the Intel brand. Does the new line of AMD 64 processors bring extreme value to the table, or simply offer more the same lackluster results of years past?our AMD Athlon 64 processor reviews put this to the test.
