AMD AM2 FX-62 Processor![]() Here's the AMD AM2 FX-62 Processor - not available in stores or PCs quite
yet. I had an opportunity to play with it at WinHEC yesterday. Feels like a processor, man. Looks like a processor, too. The AMD representatives were quite kind to me, answering all the questions without all the ego that other companies seem to exude. AMD isn't blogging yet, but some of their employees certainly have blogger-type personalities. Can't wait to see what they have up their sleeve. A great amount of technology and hardware enthusiasts are totally in AMD's camp. Intel has to play catch-up. One thing's for sure - there's an impending processor war coming, and the consumers will win. If you'd like a larger view, just click on the picture. We'll be interviewing AMD for the show soon enough (as we've already given Intel a chance to share their spin). CommentsChris Pirillo

The new AM2 benchmarks don't show too much improvement over their S939 counterparts. A 1-2% gain in most tests with AM2 actually behind a bit in some. I think Intel will win this one with Conroe and C2D. Plus, the Conroe's can be overclocked to 3.4GHz on the stock cooler on air, resulting in a SuperPI 1M time of just under 15 seconds! That's crazy.
