| AMD Unveils World’s Ultimate PC Processor For 3D Games: The AMD Athlon™
64 FX-57 Processor | | | |
SUNNYVALE, CALIF. - AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced the immediate
availability of the AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 processor, the world’s ultimate PC processor for enthusiasts and hard-core
gamers. Providing unparalleled PC performance on 3D games and intense applications, the new AMD Athlon 64 FX-57
processor allows power-hungry users to experience the next generation of single-threaded games with intense and
realistic graphic resolutions.
“AMD recognizes that today’s games are single-threaded. Users who crave the
absolute best performance on 3D games and extreme applications can experience realistic physics and lighting, as
well as gripping artificial intelligence and sound, with the single-core AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 processor,” said Bob
Brewer, corporate vice president, Desktop Business, Microprocessor Solutions Sector (MSS), AMD. “Since the AMD
Athlon FX processor was first introduced, AMD has consistently delivered the absolute best performing PC processor
for games. Now in our fourth iteration, the AMD Athlon 64 FX family of processors continues to remain unmatched in
the industry, designed to provide even the most demanding gamer with reduced memory latency and increased
performance.”
As PC gaming continues to escalate, the award-winning AMD Athlon 64 FX family of
processors consistently outperforms the competition, performing up to 20 percent faster than competitive products on
3D games. Because today’s games are single-threaded, 3D gamers who seek to break the limits on application
performance will be best served in the foreseeable future with the incredible performance of the single-core AMD
Athlon 64 FX processor. AMD plans to introduce a dual-core version of the AMD Athlon 64 FX processor when
multi-threaded software games are available to take advantage of its benefits.
“The AMD Athlon 64
FX-55 processor is the fastest CPU available for running Half-Life® 2, and the AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 processor will be
even faster,” said Gabe Newell, founder and president of Valve. “I have an AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 processor in my
personal gaming system, and I look forwarding to upgrading to the AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 processor.”
“Gamers, and those pushing the performance envelope on PCs, have clearly seen AMD continue to deliver the most
powerful set of processors in their class,” said Rob Enderle, principal analyst for The Enderle Group. “The AMD
Athlon 64 FX-57 processor is the highest performing single-core processor in the consumer market and I believe that
at least for the next 18 months, it is this single-core performance that will be most important to the most
competitive players of PC games. With the AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 processor, AMD is, once again, showcasing that they
know and embrace this segment better then anyone else.”
To help satisfy the growing demands from
gamers and enthusiasts to raise the bar on high-performance gaming, Velocity Micro is among the leading
manufacturers planning to offer AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 processor-based systems.
“Velocity Micro
understands what gamers want and strives to deliver the ultimate gaming experience, going above and beyond gamers’
expectations,” said Randy Copeland, President and CEO, Velocity Micro. “By offering systems based on the AMD Athlon
64 FX-57 processor, Velocity Micro further confirms our dedication to deliver gaming PCs optimized for performance
with single-threaded games. Our systems are designed to offer maximum performance with the highest resolution,
bringing the world of games to life.”
