Strengths: Very fast. Flawless performance. Can do multitasking without hesitation. Stable. Quiet!
Weakness: runs a little hot when under load. 114F at times. You can definitely hear fan start then. nothing else!
I previously had the amd xp 3500+. This cpu blows that one away. My setup includes xfx 7800gt, corsair 2gb ram, 2 WD hard drives in RAID 0 and Asus A8N32-SLI deluxe. Windows took about 10 minutes total to install (but it did take nearly 2 hours to format the hard drives for NTFS). I am overall very pleased with AMD. The cool n quiet technology definitely much better than previous. I have noticed...
Strengths: Fast, runs cool
Weakness: Problems with some games
This is a follow-up to a previous review I posted on the Athlon 64 X2 4800+. Since I have been running this processor for a couple of weeks now, I have found some problems with poor gaming performance. This appears to be a well recognized issue with the dual core processors and there have been a number of suggested fixes. In all, it has been a little frustrating to actually see game performance...
Strengths: Speed, Stability, Multitasking ability
Weakness: Price
The X2 4800+ is AMD's fastest current dual-core processor. I built my new system around this CPU, and have been very happy with it's performance. As more programs are released that take advantage of dual core processors, it's performance should only improve. That being said, it's still very fast on single-threaded activities, and it runs all current applications beautifully. I've also found that...
Strengths: The price does seems high, but with the CPU being great for the normal MS Windows user or for the Unix user, it is worth every red cent!
Weakness: No weaknesses here at all..
Not only is the AMD Athlon X2 4800 lightning fast for the everyday MS Windows user who enjoys normal use or multi-tasking, it is the ideal processor for the Unix/Linux world as well. As a Gentoo Linux user I compile all of my software from source while running other programs as well, and the X2 4800 is amazingly fast for this purpose. No matter what additional tasks I throw at it while compiling...
Strengths: Speed, stability, and very future-proof
Weakness: Probably doesn't really deliver enough of a boost to justify the price compared to lower models in the same line.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the new capabilities of the system I built around this core. I do notice almost everything going faster, but that is partly, doubtlessly, due to the peripherals. The dual-core nature, speed and cache should make this a usable processor for several years, and it will be ready when a really usable 64-bit OS comes down the pike. But perhaps one should save some money...
Strengths: This is one damn fast processor. It not only gives you (2) 2.4GHz cores, but also allows you to be able to run 64-bit Windows and apps.
Weakness: It runs VERY hot. Must have very good cooling system in case. Also this is VERY expensive!
While I almost but the dual core FX processor that just came out, I couldn't justify spending another $400 on top of the $600 I spent for this processor, for a little jump in speed. Even though this processor is very expensive, I think it was worth it. It gave me everything I wanted. I have 2 fast AMD Athlon 64 cores at 2.4GHz with 2Mb of cache and the ability to upgrade to 64 bit Windows when I...
Strengths: fast, good cache, overclockable, fast o and a DUAL Core,
Weakness: so so fragile, and a nice heatsink is recommened
This thing is fasst. Any application works great with this processor, and multi-threaded applications recieve a huge performance upgrade. Sure sure, you can say that there arent many, but 3 months later, youll be glad to spend the extra money on dual core. Works great with my OCZ 2GB CAS 2 Ram and my ATI 1900XT running. This thing is monster.
Strengths: FAST FAST FAST,it is as advertised. What you want out of your CPU. Cheaper than the high end Single-core.
Weakness: Absolutely none
I was going to get one of the AMD flagship CPU's the FX57, but when I was running the numbers my total cost was too much, I had to reduce my bottom line. I looked online to see what was availible for less and was still high end. I saw that the Dual Core was out and running and saw that the 4800 was three Bills cheaper than the 57. It was a no brainer, and I am totally happy with the choice. This...
Strengths: FAST, FAST, FAST! Runs cool and is compatible with Socket 939 motherboards.
Weakness: None so far...
Wow. All I can say is this processor flies. I did a recent build around this and an Abit KN8-SLI mobo, 2 gigs Corsair XMS, WD Raptor 10,000 rpm drive and dual 7800 GTX Leadtek cards. This thing is smokin'. During the re-installation process, I was installing and updating Guild Wars while playing Call of Duty 2 Multiplayer online at high resolution, all without a hitch. It posts higher benchmark...
While not the flashiest of computer processors the AMD Athlon X2 4800+ makes up for its lack of power and energy efficiency in price. Aimed at competing with Intel in the low end market, basic Athlon X2 processors such as the 4800+ cost only a fraction of what they did months ago. Not the greatest of processors for heavy encoding or gaming, but proficient for the majority of computer users....

Beware, Intel! AMD's desktop dual core comes in with clock speeds unreduced from those of its single core chips, ready to strike a devastating blow at the very playground Intel had prepared with Hyper Threading. Read on to find out why the Athlon 64 X2 will be king of the ring.

The AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ was an excellent performer in virtually every category. Throughout our entire suite of benchmarks, the Athlon 64 X2 4800+ was consistently ranked at the top of the charts, either matching the performance level of a similarly clocked Athlon 64 4000+ in the single-threaded tests, or outperforming every other reference system in the multi-threaded tests. Only in the Office...

AMD outpacing all others
Strengths: Integrated memory controller, true inter-core communication, large L2 cache, low heat output for its power, fits long life 939 socket motherboards, play games and run antivirus at the same time !
Weakness: Now surpassed by Intel's Core 2 Duo series, Does not give backrubs, bring you cold beers or snuggle with you at night, still pricey
I have discontinued this review because as any tech geek knows, times change and better products are manufactured. If you are currently in need of a high end processor then take a look at the new Intel Core 2 Duo series. Intel has come back from the edge and is now producing models that can best any of AMD's latest offerings. (My review below was last updated during June of 2006) When I first got...
