Despite its intriguing name, AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 is nothing more than a higher-clocked modification of our old acquaintance — Athlon 64 X2 4800+. The difference comes down to the clock: two cores in the Athlon 64 X2 4800+, equipped with 1 MB L2 Caches, ran at 2400 MHz, while the new Athlon 64 FX-60 has the same cores running at 2600 MHz. Thus, the new Athlon 64 FX takes up a strange position in the updated line of AMD processors: it equals FX-55 in terms of a single core clock (that is slower than FX-57), but it has two such cores instead.
