AM2 was supposed to be the things of the future delivering the ultimate performance where socket 939 left off. With more memory bandwidth and a whole host of other features the new socket has not lived up to it’s much hyped beginnings.

XYZcomputing takes a look at the AMD AM2 to see just how it performs. Or more specifically, just what makes this computer processor that little bit unexciting.
