What the difference between an Athlon 64 and the equivilent Athlon 64 X2?

 

[gamerman4]

The athlon 64s are single core CPUs (minus the FX60).
The X2s are dual-core CPUs.

well... there are Athlon A64 3800+ (and 4000+) processors iirc,.. and also AMD X2 +3800+'s.. so i gues that what he mean's. but like said, the X2's are dual core processors, the A64 are not

The X2 line of processors are basically two Athlon 64 cores on one chip.

X2 is a lot better than athlon 64. They do not have the same chip socket and blueprints

The X2 is better because it is a dual-core.

They are both on socket 939 and AM2, what are you talking about?

"blueprints"? The X2 is built from the Athlon 64 design, it simply has two A64 dies in one with a few minor tweaks.
