Maybe not indeed: From article on when and why FX series will become dual core. ..."There's two tipping points that will force our hand, as regards the schedule for [the FX]," Seckler said. "The roadmap calls for a single-core FX part into 2006… Let's say that [games engine provider] Havok came out with a multi-threaded engine, or Epic, or a couple of other major games bit on those [dual-core chips], we would accelerate the schedule. If FX sales drop, if the customer is buying the X2 dual-core , then we might accelerate the schedule there." The shift to the 90-nm SOI process also means that the FX-57 differs in some small ways from the FX-55. Originally, the FX-55 supported just DDR-400 speeds; the FX-57's memory controller now will interface with DDR-533, and has some other small improvements, Seckler said. However, the increase in clock speed has not required a similar sacrifice in power; the chip runs at 104 watts, the same as the FX-55. ... extremenano.com Regards, Rink
