FX60 o/c to 2.8GHz

In all of the new processors (AMD) what is an FX60 running at 2.8 equal to? In X2 speeds given the same cache size. Just curious as to what the nearly 3 year old bucket of bolts compares to.

It's roughly equal to the x2 5600+ afaik ... Intel wise, it's probably equal to a e5200, or maybe a e6550 ...

...which makes it low side of midrange by today's standards. Still plenty of power for general tasks & such, maybe getting a little weak for gaming but still not too bad. Wait till the next generation (from Intel or AMD) before upgrading.

i would think the fx60 is a bit faster than the e5200 at stock speed. I say maybe close to a e7200. However AMD is mostly server chip, it might run faster on server apps. :]

Looking at this review which compares the E5200 to an X2 6000+ (3Ghz) Link it would be the FX60 that is beaten slightly, as the E5200 is pretty much similar to the 6000+, trading blows in different apps.
