AMD Athlon™ 64 FX Processors with Dual Socket Direct Connect (DSDC) Architecture: Designed for Megatasking
Dual Socket Direct Connect Architecture Enhances Megatasking

The AMD Quad FX platform is a two-socket, four-core processing solution featuring Dual Socket Direct Connect (DSDC) Architecture for high-bandwidth processor to processor communication.

DSDC Architecture enables high-bandwidth communication between matched pairs of AMD Athlon™ 64 FX-70, AMD Athlon 64 FX-72, and AMD Athlon 64 FX-74 dual-core processors. DSDC Architecture is designed for the multi-core, multi-threaded future with planned platform upgradeability to eight cores.

Only the AMD Quad FX platform with DSDC Architecture is ready for massively multi-threaded games and the most demanding multi-threaded digital content creation software. The AMD Quad FX platform is the first dual-processor, multi-core platform designed for megatasking performance and the most demanding power users.
