I'm sure that the vast majority of tech-savvy web users have been impressed with AMD's new line of CPUs. A number of core enhancements brought about meaningful gains in performance and efficiency, so much so that one had to call the AMD Athlon 64 FX-51 the fastest consumer-level CPU going. Computing, in a way, is all about future-proofing. The informed user always looks to extend the longevity of any purchase by evaluating current technologies and choosing the one that a) offers the best price-to-performance ratio and b) the product that offers future compatibility.

Whilst the Athlon 64 FX-51 is hideously, shockingly expensive, it does have the ace of 64bit computing up its heatspreader-clad sleeve. Our range of benchmarks showed that it superlative performance in today's 32bit OS' and applications; enough to displace the Intel Pentium 4 3.2GHz from the top of the tree.
