<a href="http://www.hardwaremania.com/reviews_eng/asussk8n/sk8n-1.shtm...">HardwareMania</a> har skrivit en högst aktuell och intressant recension på ett moderkort som är byggt med Nvidias nForce3 Pro, nämligen Asus SK8N. Det i kombination med en AMD Opteron-processor testas bland annat i 3DMark-prestandatestet mot en AthlonXP-processor. Jag tänker inte säga något angående prestandan, men möjligheterna med 64bits program och operativsystem verkar minst sagt bra.<br><br><I>AMD K7 core was using socket-462 and AthlonXP’s had 462pins. On the other hand Opteron uses Socket-940, meaning the CPU has 940pins. The reason why the core has so many pins is related to the integrated dual channel DDR-SDRAM memory controller, multiple processor architecture and 16-bit Hyper Transport links. The core size is the biggest among the AMD CPU’s ever. It is approximately twice the AMD Barton core and has 106million transistors. And these are mostly due to the existence of a L2 Cache with 1 MB size. Among with 64-bit command set, up-to-date ones like SSE2 are also supported by Opteron.</I><br><br>Läs recensionen hos <a href="http://www.hardwaremania.com/reviews_eng/asussk8n/sk8n-1.shtm..." target="_top" >HardwareMania</a>.<p>
