6000+ is an impressive sounding model number, but for all intents, the processor model numbers carry little meaning these days, but it still does a dandy job to bamboozle the less-informed. The Athlon 64 X2 6000+ is equipped with 2MB of full speed L2 cache and based on the Windsor core, this 3GHz processor is essentially the rumored Athlon 64 FX-64, which we 'previewed' to readers over half a year back . So yes, the FX-64 is alive and kicking finally, but with the start of the Quad FX platform, only processors for this platform bear the FX nomenclature and the stand-alone dual-core processors fall under the Athlon 64 X2 lineup - which is a good thing in our opinion to do away with the differentiated naming scheme for their fastest model.
