Title : AMD Socket-AM2: Same Performance, Faster Memory, Lower Power 
Date : 2006-05-23 
Code : AnandTech <a href="http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2762&p=12" target="blank">reviewed AMD's new socket-AM2</a> in its usual in-depth fasion, and concluded: "And there you have it, quite possibly the most unimpressive launch from AMD (from a performance perspective), but given what we had already seen prior to today there shouldn't be any surprises. The introduction of the Athlon 64 FX-62 means that there is an even faster alternative for those looking to spend as much as possible on a desktop or workstation CPU, but the new 5000+ isn't really all that appealing, especially if you're a gamer."
