The AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 for multiple operations

The Athlon 64 FX-60 is based on the Toledo core rated unique core chip with multiple cores and is based on 2.6 GHz - derived from its default 13x multiplier. The clock multiplier is completely unlocked, which allows for easy overclocking. It is said to be based on 90 nanometer technology and has 233.2 million transistors, covering 199 square millimeters and each core has 1MB of L2 cache.

The memory controller has 128 bits wide and works with 400 MHz DDR memory, for a maximum of 6.5GB per second. Hyper Transport is still 1GHz, providing 8GB of bandwidth to the bus. The die is large - 199mm2

The FX-60 is 200MHz faster with a lower thermal barrier. When talking about the power consumption the AMD reduce the power consumption, and thus the thermal power of the FX-60, that allows it to reach faster clock speeds at a lower core temperature.

The Athlon 64-FX-60 is very easy to overclock, thus the CPU can be overclocked not only by raising the bus frequency, but also by increasing the clock multipler. Being the top in the line of processors the Athlon 64 FX-60 is outstanding in performance, without any kind of compromise.
