The AMD Athlon64 4000+ performed very well in all our tests, but as expected cannot compete with the performance of the FX-55. However, now that new products are being released by AMD, former processors like the 4000+, are expected to get cheaper and more attractive for regular users.

The 64-bit architecture is a major advantage and AMD aims to offer it in all its processors while maintaining backward compatibility with all 32-bit software.

Hardcore gamers and overclockers will not be able to leave the BIOS alone with the standard values. In case you need even more processing power, the Athlon64 4000+ will not let you down. Overclocking this CPU boosted the performance to levels higher than the performance of the highly prized FX-55.

The AMD Athlon64 4000+ is priced at around €420.00.
