For 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.
One 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.
Inquiry
- 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.

Introduction
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.
Highlights
 |
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.
