Enabling scalable multi-core desktop computing and featuring two processor cores each operating at 2.6GHz with a 128KBx1 (256KB total) L1 Cache and 1MBx2 (2MB total) L2 Cache, the dual-core AMD Athlon 64 FX-70 Socket F (1207FX) 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.

This adept processor is designed for people who want to stay at the forefront of technology and for those who depend on their PCs to keep them connected, informed, and entertained.

AMD Quad FX Platform Support Featuring two AMD Athlon 64 FX dual-core processors with DSDC (Dual Socket Direct Connect) Architecture for mega-tasking, the AMD Quad FX platform doubles your digital media application performance over two-core platforms. Adding another processor doubles the cores, available memory bandwidth up to 25.6GB/s and the amount of high-speed on-die cache.
AMD64 Dual-core Technology AMD64 is designed to enable simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing with no degradation in performance. With dual-core technology there are two complete processor cores in one physical package running at the same frequency to deliver TRUE multi-tasking power, allowing users to switch from one program to another without pausing for the computer to catch up and reducing annoying processing pauses.
HyperTransport Technology HyperTransport Technology (HT or HTT) is a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point link designed to increase communication speeds between integrated circuits in computers, servers, embedded systems, and networking and telecommunications equipment. With HT technology the AMD Athlon 64 FX-70 Dual-core processor enjoys 2000MHz system bus speeds.
Enhanced Virus Protection All AMD processors equipped with AMD64 technology are Enhanced Virus Protection-enabled. Enhanced virus protection acts as a preventative measure causing viruses to be localized, short-lived, and non-contagious, eventually being flushed from system memory.
CNQ: Cool'n'Quiet Technology AMD's Cool'n'Quiet technology is an innovative solution available on AMD Athlon 64 processor-based systems that can effectively lower power consumption and enable a quieter-running system while delivering performance-on-demand.
AMD Virtualization Virtualization on desktop computers allows a single PC to act like multiple virtual machines. AMD Virtualization can enable client computers to seamlessly support multiple operating environments. And it also helps make it easier for PC enthusiasts to upgrade and maintain their PCs through emulation.

Tomas 4/8/2007 7:28:08 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5	Rating: 5/5For The Reviewers Below Pros: This processor is really fast. Doesnt have pins so you cant break it off on accident. Cons: The stock fan is loud. Other Thoughts: For the reviewer below: You dont need 2 of these processors to make a computer run. I only have 1 of these and my computer runs fine. Not as fast as it would with 2 but still. Also they do have a motherboard with this socket. It is called dual socket L(1207 FX). All that happened was newegg is selling 1 processor instead of 2 and calling it socket F(1207 FX). If you buy it in a pair it is called socket L. This does only come with 1 processor. Im waiting for another one to come in stock so I can have 2. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
iseefractals 4/5/2007 10:37:50 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 1/5	Rating: 5/5One of the best on the market, still ahead of it's time Pros: Yes, this is the same socket that the TRUE quad cores will be released on. If you get two of these, and yes you do need to buy two, once the quads are out you're instantly ready to go from 2x2 to 4x4. Still 90nm fabs and matching pace with intels 65nm quads of the same design, which intel plans to stick with for some time. Cons: Don't own it, but that's because of the second con of their being no motherboard options at this time. They are power hogs, they run loud. But it's alright, AMD just threw this together real quick to match intels "finished design" lol Other Thoughts: There really isn't a need for these yet. The quad cores will be coming out soon, and a wide choice of motherboards. What's better then a 3ghz cpu for $300? A 3.6ghz 4400x2 toledo core 939 that cose $130. Refurb, rarest 939 athlon stepping you can find LCCBE. Oh yeah, running it at 1.475v idles at 35c 43c under load....and it's on air. Ill stick with my dually till the 4 core 1207 comes out, but congrats to those that own them. 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Carbs 4/3/2007 8:30:48 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 1/5	Rating: 5/5Inquiry Pros: I simply have a single but important question to all of you who have purchased these processors. Do they come two to a single package or do you have to purchase two of them. Newegg's tech support isn't great to say the least, so anyone out there that may be able to answer this with another comment please feel free. Cons: Does well with the bench and statistically with overclocking, but as you can see in the above, I don't own one, want to, but need the question answered first. Other Thoughts: Thanks whoever tackles this question. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
crashu 3/23/2007 8:11:39 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Bad to the Bone! Pros: This cpu can't be stopped! I put it in and used asus's overclocking features, put it to 20% overclocking and now runs at 3.1gb smooth and steady! Cons: None Other Thoughts: 300 bucks for a 3Gb cpu, does it get any better. I love it! 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
J. Fitzgerald 3/7/2007 7:03:09 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5	Rating: 5/5Great performance but.. Pros: The processors are VERY fast. Quad-core is the way to go especially for the future generation of gaming. From what I see you can overclock them very easily to 3.0GHz(Max stable level) but I wouldnt do it without liquid cooling. And for the price your getting the equivelent of the Intel Core 2 extreme for $300 less. Also AMD's new quad core processors are expected to be released on this socket. What more could you ask for? Cons: The processors fans are somewhat loud but keep the processors at a stable temperature. Also the specific hardware required (Asus L1964-SLI WS) to use the processors are somewhat constricting (even if it is a nice motherboard) Other Thoughts: I would say this requires a minimum 750 watt power supply to run both processors and video card effeciently. My Setup: 2x 2.6GHz FX-70 processors, 2 Gigs DDR2 800 Ram, Geforce 8800 GTS 320MB,L1964-SLI WS, 750 PSU. 1 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you?

Johio 1/21/2007 10:46:59 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Air Conditioning Pros: Runs really fast, stock cooling works really well. Cons: Stock cooling sounds like an air conditioner, not counting case fans. Other Thoughts: Great chips for the price, 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?

Hal 1/2/2007 8:04:17 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5	Rating: 5/5Wow! Overclock Potential! Pros: Comes in a little green box. Stock heatsink keeps the cpu cool (131F/55C). I was able to overclock the CPU from 2.6 to 2.98 Ghz. Cons: Fans are a little noisy. Other Thoughts: Very happy. I really have no complaints. The cpu Socket F package is very small. 6 out of 11 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
