The AMD Athlon FX line of processors was first introduced WAY back in September of 2003 with the release of the 940-pin FX-51 processor running at 2.2 GHz. At the time, it was the only desktop processor to NOT run on the 754-pin socket. My, how times have changed. AMD released their dual core processor line up in May of 2005, just over 7 months ago. At that time, the flagship processor brand, the Athlon 64 FX, remained a single core processor, with AMD stating that single core CPUs were still the best for gaming..
