AMD has had a small "coming out party" for it's new 4X4 architecture. AMD recognizes that in order for true multitasking, you need two things, processor cores and high memory bandwidth. And so, AMD takes two A64 X2 chips, enables ccHT so the processors can talk to each other, allowing for extremely high memory bandwidth and four processor cores. At AMD's "coming out party", they showed 4x4 technology running multi-threaded applications very well, as well as two very intense applications running side by side. Assuming that a process is multi-threaded, 4x4 technology also allows for combining of the 4 cores to run one process, as seen in 3Dmark06.The monitor on the left represents an FX62, and the monitor on the right represents 4x4. The FX62 started first, and the 4x4 finished first. While 4x4 architecture won't exactly take the performance crown back from Conroe, it will certainly keep AMD in the game.
