AMD has announced the release of their X2 dual core Athlon64 CPU’s. If the early reports are any indication, they significantly outperform the equivalent Intel CPU’s. Even better, motherboards designed for 90nm CPU’s can handle the new CPU’s meaning you may not need to change your motherboard to adopt one of these new babies. For people that don’t multi-task much, you won’t notice that much difference after the change. If however, you are a multi-tasker (and let’s face it, who of us isn’t) you will notice a significant improvement in multi-tasking performance and hopefully you’ll see much less of the dreaded hour glass telling you to wait while the CPU catches up with you. Don’t rush out and grab one yet though, Intel has currently undercut the pricing of the X2 CPU’s meaning that we can expect rapid price cuts from AMD shortly. Right now though, it appears that AMD holds the cards for both Performance and power consumption.
