Enabling dual core desktop computing and featuring two processor cores each operating at 2.4GHz with a 1MB (2MB in total) L2 Cache, the Dual Core AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Socket 939 processor can perform calculations on two streams of data to increase efficiency and speed while running multiple programs and the new generation of multi-threaded software. You'll be able to run games, chat and music all at the same time without slowing anything down!
This standout processor is integrated with a high-bandwidth, low-latency memory controller enabling support for up to DDR400 memory. It also includes a more robust heatsink attachment than previous models, which has now been mounted on the motherboard using 4 screws and allows a bit more help to your heatsink. Other features including support for 3DNow! Professional technology and SSE3 accelerate multimedia applications and enable stellar performance when working with audio, video and photography software.

A practical review - no hype
- Comments: Keep in mind the decision to purchase a performance processor like this was something that I was very uncertain about. The reason for my hesitation was the fact that the 4000+ was running at the same Mhz, but was about half the cost. And, considering the availability of the FX line, the choice was even harder.
Well, the verdict is in. What with the enhanced performance of voice dictation (which I use), the fact that NXXXXA is producing graphics drivers (I’m testing the beta right now) that take advantage of dual core processors and that AxxxCAD already takes advantage of dual core processors, the 4800+ x2 wins performance tests as the new king of the hill (at least in my book). I'm very glad that I did not choose a single core processor and would never go back even under threat of pain. I budgeted 1 year for this processor to pay for itself, but it will be literally months instead of a year.
Before the NXXXXA beta driver, games would only generally take advantage of 1 processor. Now with the beta driver, for most games, the load is generally balanced quite well between the 2 cores. I tested Wxxlords VI, Dxngxxn Sxxgx and Sxm Cxty 4000. Let me put it this way if someone gave me the FX 57 I would sell it on a popular action site while it was still in its package, take the money and buy a 4800+ x2 and some performance memory (from Newegg of course), never bat an eye, never look back.
Voiced dictation is fluid. There is literally no lag time for the words to appear on the screen. Also, for graphics, the operating system sends plots to the plotter using the 2ND core. Eliminated are the lags that used to interrupt the GUI while using AxxxCAD and plotting. The 2ND core is handling all those IRQ’s while communicating with the plotter. The feeling is very smooth.
The end result is that AxxxCAD is running on 1 core (or both if REGENing or PANing which is 90% of the time), Drxgxn NxtxrxllySpxxkxng is running on the other core and the operating system is load balancing everything else in the background. It is rare for me to hit a point where I have to wait on the computer.
If you are a professional, this processor just makes sense. Not only are you future proofed for 64-bit, but you have the top of the line right now. It is zippy for gaming. It is snappy for a professional GUI.
I hope this review makes you feel a little more certain about this purchase. I know it was really hard for me to find practical information. If your budget has alloted enough to purchase a high end processor, get this one. Do not spend your money on anything else. It is the clear choice.
Excellent Product, Excellent Price
- Pros: Like a lot of people I've been waiting for the 4800+ to drop in price. Although NewEgg took longer to reach the $xxx price mark than others, now that they have, I bought one immediately. The power, stability, performance, price (currently with free shipping) is amazing.
If you buy this processor you do not need a special heat sink like the XP-90 (although still a cool heat sink). AMD has started giving out stock heat sinks with 4-heat pipe cooling! I was pleasantly surprised especially when I looked online and saw the performance of the heat sink is outstanding.
- Cons: None.
- Other Thoughts: AMD now ships with 4-heat pipe stock heat sink that works as good as the best heat sinks around!

Excellelent Processor
- Pros: Went from an Athlon XP 2500 oc'd to 2.75Ghz on a DFI Lan Party NF2 board to an Athlon 64 4000+ on an Asus A8N SLI board. Big difference. One month later I was able to come up with enough for the X2 4800, which was almost as big of a difference. This CPU is one of the most powerful CPU's you can put on the 939 socket, and it overclocks nicely. The 4800 is basically 2 4000s on one die. I've gotten it up to 2.9Ghz with a Thermaltake Blue Orb, and it's still quiet! I have had no issues with either XP or Vista (except getting them to dual boot -not the cpu's fault).
Great performance, and the price is much sweeter now. Highly recommended, especially if you already have a 939 board and can't swing a new board, memory AND CPU right now.
- Cons: None. Works beautifully.
- Other Thoughts: It's fairly comparable performance-wise to it's competition of similar price, so if you have a socket 939 board, go for it. I can't imagine a reason why you'd not like it.
Looks like a good deal to me!
- Pros: The specs look good, might buy it sometime later.
- Cons: Don't know if it would make a lot of difference if i upgrade from AMD 4200+ X2 overclocked to 2.75Ghz on stock fan, waiting for my zalman and will try higher, but this might be a little faster though when overclocked. Right now my 4200+ is only 2% slower than FX62 and about 5% faster than the FX60!!!!
Covet
- Pros: Should I upgrade from my 4000+?
is it worth it? I really can't afford to build an entire new rig right now, so I'd like to get some more life out of this machine.
- Cons: I only built this one last year at this time, and already the cpu and ram are totally outdated.
- Other Thoughts: technology, my love, is so bittersweet.
