| 283555 | 2004-10-22 06:02:00 | Hi, Just wondering, what's the difference between an AMD Athlon 64 FX53 with 939 pins and 940 pins?. Apparently, the 939 pinned version is more expensive. On the AMD website, they claim that the 939 pinned version is more efficient in data transfer. "AMD believes in bringing to market customer-centric technology that benefits partners and end users. By offering the AMD Athlon 64 FX processor in a 939-pin package, AMD is enabling performance enhancements and next-generation platform innovations with the use of a cost-effective four-layer circuit board and higher performing unbuffered DDR memory (Compared to registered DDR memory in the 940-pin part)." Does this mean, you pay more on the cpu to save on memory? |
