A new Athlon FX is always exciting news to gamers, as well as those that just like hearing about a new, really fast chip. The "FX" series compete with Intel's "Extreme Edition" for the fastest chip title. These chips appeal primarily to gamers with lots of dough as the price for the latest one is usually about a thousand bucks.
AMD continues to raise the bar in performance – both in dual core with its recent X2 chip and now once again in the single core design with its pending FX-57 launch due on June 27th. Gamers everywhere have seen the results AMD has had with its FX line and for good reason are eagerly anticipating the FX-57. Although the FX-53 and FX-55 will still make great gaming CPUs from now until the next year or so, it’s the 57 model in particular that really puts some distance between AMD and Intel’s closest gaming CPU dubbed the “Extreme Edition”.
Apparently, the chips have been sent out to the reviewers (AMD must have forgot me). However, over at GD, they just couldn't wait.
