AMD has launched a dual-core version of its Athlon 64 FX processor, which is targeted at gamers and other intensive computing applications.

The company says the new Athlon 64 FX-60 processor offers the highest performance of its consumer range, running at 80 per cent faster than single-core on some benchmarks.

It is available at a bulk price of $1,031 (£580 approx) per chip and several PC makers, including Britain's Evesham and Mesh, say they plan to use it.
Bob Brewer, corporate vice president of AMD's desktop microprocessor solutions sector, said the FX-60 'is designed to deliver the ultimate in performance for our customers who demand nothing short of the best.'
