FX-57 review hardocp.com Conclusions And the Winner is… Why did we not take the time to compare an Intel CPU in our comparison? The simple fact of the matter is that while Intel would have you believe that they do make "gaming" processors, the AMD Athlon FX-57 simply kicks the crap out of anything Intel makes in the realm of gaming. We also figured that anyone that considers themselves a hardcore gamer in this market is very likely already using an Athlon 64 CPU and that is the reason we supplied you with the 3200+ scores. We were hoping to give you a good basis of what sort of power an upgrade from that class of CPU might give you. All of this is not to say that Intel does not make Pentium 4 and Pentium Extreme Edition processors that are capable of gaming. Most new processors today have more than enough power for the casual gamer, but in the super high end gaming realm, Intel does not currently compete. Back to the subject at hand though. The AMD Athlon FX-57 shines brightest in a sea of over-marketed gaming products. The AMD Athlon FX-57 has marketing bark and the gaming bite to back it up. Actually more like gaming “chomp” as the FX-57 just obliterated the scores previously held by its predecessor, the FX-55. If you want the best gaming computer in the world, it had better have an AMD Athlon FX-57 inside.
