The Ultimate Platform for the Megatasking Enthusiast
AMD Athlon 64 FX processors power the next innovation for the enthusiast PC platform: The AMD Quad FX platform with Dual Socket Direct Connect Architecture. The Revolutionary AMD Quad FX platform is the first dual-socket, multi-core PC platform designed to take advantage of the latest enhancements in Windows Vista™ Ultimate and for megatasking PC enthusiasts and power-users who run the most demanding tasks simultaneously. The AMD Quad FX platform with Dual Socket Direct Connect (DSDC) Architecture is ready for the most demanding multi-threaded digital content creation software and for the next wave of incredibly demanding multi-threaded games.

DSDC Architecture is AMD′s exclusive high-bandwidth interconnect for two AMD Athlon 64 FX processors. The AMD Quad FX platform featuring two AMD Athlon™ 64 FX dual-core processors with DSDC Architecture for megatasking can double your digital media application performance over two core platforms. Adding another processor doubles the cores, doubles available memory bandwidth-up to 25.6GB/s, and doubles the amount of high-speed on-die cache.

With the AMD Quad FX platform you are ready for the multi-core, multi-threaded future. The AMD Quad FX Platform is designed to offer a seamless upgrade path from dual-core processors to quad-core processors. This offers an advanced four core platform today and a planned eight core platform in the future. We expect that Megatasking is the future reality of PC performance. Explore the possibilities.

Features

• AMD Quad FX Platform
  The AMD Quad FX platform features two AMD Athlon™ 64 FX dual-core processors and a total of four processing cores, with a path to upgrade seamlessly to a total of eight processing cores when AMD quad-core processors are available.
  
  
• HyperTransport™ Technology
  HyperTransport™ technology is a high performance, easy-to-implement system interconnect technology originally invented by AMD. It is designed to increase overall system performance by removing I/O bottlenecks, increasing bandwidth, and reducing latency. HyperTransport technology implemented in the AMD Athlon™ 64 FX processor enables a system bus to run at 1600MHz.
  
  
• AMD Virtualization™
  Next-Generation AMD processors are designed to help end the ″one server, one application″ problem common in so many enterprises today. Most servers operate at less than 15 percent capacity, yet they still consume power and generate heat on a 24x7 basis. With native support for hardware-assisted AMD Virtualization™ (AMD-V™), Next-Generation AMD processors can help streamline the datacenter to achieve higher levels of efficiency and utilization.
  
  
• Enhanced Virus Protection
  All AMD64 processors, including the AMD Athlon™ 64 FX, AMD Athlon 64, and Mobile AMD Athlon 64 processors, are enabled with Enhanced Virus Protection. With Microsoft® Windows® XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), you will be able to fully utilize the security technology. By providing extra security at the platform level, AMD lets you easily embrace the future of computing.
