AMD Athlon64 3800+ Socket 939 64-bit CPU -
The Socket 939 AMD Athlon64 3800+ that we've looked at today is clocked at a fast 2.4 GHz and built on AMD's trusty 0.13 micron manufacturing process. Compared to the older Socket 754 Athlon64 3200+ with its single channel memory controller, the Athlon64 3800+ only has half the L2 cache. However, AMD has now upgraded the memory controller with dual-channel DDR capabilities. By doing this, AMD not only increased performance, but saved manufacturing space and money as the actual silicon itself is now much smaller than before; 144mm2 vs. 193mm2.
