Product Information
The AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 processor, model ADAFX60DAA6CD, offers excellent speed as a dual-core CPU. With a clock speed of 2.6 GHz, the dual cores make it possible to split your desktop computer's task load. You'll notice an improvement of overall speed and performance. This makes it easier for running simultaneous tasks and information processing without lag. You'll enjoy emailing while running a game or prepping a work document while chatting on social media. The second core will automatically pick up the slack, giving your processor a boost in efficiency and performance when necessary. If you need slightly more speed out of your CPU, then the microprocessor can also be overclocked.The AMD Athlon 64 FX60 CPU features a HyperTransport architecture operating at a speed of 2 Giga-transfers per second. The CPU socket type is a socket 939. HyperTransport technology is a type of point-to-point link in the chip that increases communication speed between the processor's integrated circuits. The processor needs fewer buses in its architecture to transfer data between its components. The HyperTransport tech removes bottlenecks, reduces latency, and lets the processor access the RAM more efficiently.From a 90 nm process, the AMD Athlon 64 FX60 is a 233-million transistor microprocessor with a large 199 square-millimeter die. It delivers 64-bit computing on server, workstation, and mobile platforms alike, including desktops and laptops. A 64-bit computer easily handles large data sets and accesses massive amounts of memory that can be easily searched. This can be especially beneficial when you're running multiple programs at the same time. The 64-bit system is very responsive, and it lets you manipulate more audio and video content than ever before. It also supports an SSE3 instruction set.The AMD FX-60 dual-core CPU features an integrated memory controller. Data that goes to and from the computer's main memory is managed by a controller within the microprocessor itself instead of on a separate chip. With better memory management, the integrated memory controller will dramatically aid performance and reduce latency. You'll be able to run even the most demanding programs and software. The device has two memory channels and a maximum memory bandwidth of 6.4GB per second. The L2 cache size is a modest 2MB with 1MB of L2 memory allocated to each core. The cache is a smaller, faster memory source that stores copies of frequently accessed data from the main RAM. The L2 memory size is an improvement over earlier generations of AMD processors.In order to prevent the card from overheating, the Athlon's processor's cooling solutions include a heatsink and a fan. The maximum operating temperature is 149 degrees Fahrenheit with a Thermal Design Power of 110 watts. TDP is the average max power a processor can dissipate while running under its base clock speed with all cores active. The AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 2.6 GHz microprocessor represents a big leap over the previously related single-core FX-57 model. Slip this hardware into your formerly single-core CPU, and you should notice improvements in task handling and speed. This is an entry-level microprocessor with standard benchmarks designed for basic tasks, basic multimedia, and gaming capabilities. The AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 fits into a 939 socket on compatible motherboards.Product Identifiers
