FAQ -Why is my AMD CPU running slowly?

[gwendes]

AMD processors do not run at the same clock frequency as the model number; for example an AMD Athlon 64 3000 does not run at 3.0Ghz.

It has become increasingly difficult to compare CPU specifications side-by-side. Full technical specifications for AMD processors are available at http://www.amd.com
