Here is the break-down regarding AMD's Athlon 64 CPUs:

Single Channel Memory Controller:
AMD Athlon 64 2800+ (socket 754) 130nm - SOI - L1 cache 128k - L2 cache 1MB @ 1.60GHz (Clawhammer)
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (socket 754) 130nm - SOI - L1 cache 128k - L2 cache 1MB @ 2.00GHz (Clawhammer)
AMD Athlon 64 3400+ (socket 754) 130nm - SOI - L1 cache 128k - L2 cache 1MB @ 2.20GHz (Clawhammer)
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ (socket 754) 130nm - SOI - L1 cache 128k - L2 cache 1MB @ 2.40GHz (Clawhammer)

Single Channel Memory Controller: Though there is a 3000+ (754, 130nm, SOI, L2 512k with Dual Channel.
AMD Athlon 64 2800+ (socket 754) 130nm - SOI - L1 cache 128k - L2 cache 512k @ 1.80GHz (Newcastle)
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (socket 754) 130nm - SOI - L1 cache 128k - L2 cache 512k @ 2.00GHz (Newcastle)
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (socket 754) 130nm - SOI - L1 cache 128k - L2 cache 512k @ 2.20GHz (Newcastle)
AMD Athlon 64 3400+ (socket 754) 130nm - SOI - L1 cache 128k - L2 cache 512k @ 2.40GHz (Newcastle)

Dual Channel Memory Controller:
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (socket 939) 130nm - SOI - L1 cache 128k - L2 cache 512k @ 2.20GHz (?)
AMD Athlon 64 3800+ (socket 939) 130nm - SOI - L1 cache 128k - L2 cache 512k @ 2.40GHz (?)
AMD Athlon 64FX-51 (socket 940) 130nm - SOI - L1 cache 128k - L2 cache 1MB @ 2.20GHz (SledgeHammer)
AMD Athlon 64FX-53 (socket 940) 130nm - SOI - L1 cache 128k - L2 cache 1MB @ 2.40GHz (SledgeHammer)
AMD Athlon 64FX-53 (socket 939) 130nm - SOI - L1 cache 128k - L2 cache 1MB @ 2.40GHz (SledgeHammer)
AMD Athlon 64FX-55 (socket 939) 130nm - SOI - L1 cache 128k - L2 cache 1MB @ 2.60GHz (SledgeHammer)
AMD Athlon 64FX-55 (socket 939) 90nm - SOI - L1 cache 128k - L2 cache 1MB @ 2.60GHz (San Diego) w/ DSL Technology & SSE3
AMD Athlon 64FX-57 (socket 939) 90nm - SOI - L1 cache 128k - L2 cache 1MB @ 2.80GHz (San Diego) w/ DSL Technology & SSE3
AMD Athlon 64FX-59 (socket 939) 90nm - SOI - L1 cache 128k - L2 cache 1MB @ 3.00GHz (San Diego) w/ DSL Technology & SSE3

Then the Dual Core 90 nm, SOI Toledo core will take over the A64-FX line. w/ 2MB L2 cache w/ an enhanced Branch Prediction & HTT running @ CPU Core Frequency. (Very Fast!)

I'm not sure exactly the FX-xx name for the Toledo core will sport, but I'm thinking it may be in the nabour hood of Athlon 64 FX-59?

Understanding the HTT in the Athlon 64's. :)

The more you reduce the HTT multiplier, the less performance you will gain. So you will have to up the CPU speed about 25MHz just to gain that loss of performance back.

Every time you reduce the HTT's Multi by 1x you need to up the CPU about 25MHz to compensate. I did extensive research on this, and this is what I came up with.

5 x 200 = 1000 (DDR 2000MHz)
5 x 250 = 1250 (DDR 2500MHz) (The Best Possible Stable OC for a high HTT)

(After 250 you need to adjust the HTT to 4x or you may run into stability prob's. For me, I ran my system @ 270 x 5 = 1350 (DDR 2700MHz) (CPU Multi @ 10x) but had stability Prob?s due to the lacking of higher available VCore.

The thing you must realize is that the HTT in DDR ran 2700 MHz & my CPU also ran @ 2700 MHz. This was the best performance combination I have ever achieved with this CPU. Darn VCore, not enough with this mobo.

4 x 260 = 1040 (DDR 2080MHz)
4 x 270 = 1080 (DDR 2160MHz)
4 x 280 = 1120 (DDR 2240MHz)
4 x 290 = 1160 (DDR 2320MHz)
4 x 300 = 1200 (DDR 2400MHz)
Or
3 x 280 = 840 (DDR 1680MHz)
3 x 290 = 870 (DDR 1740MHz)
3 x 300 = 900 (DDR 1800MHz)

An Athlon 64 3200+ @ 2.00GHz (200 x 5 = 1000 HTT) (CPU Multi = 10x) equals an Athlon 64 3200+ @ 2.025GHz (250 x 4 = 1000 HTT) (CPU Multi = 8.1x). So you have to ask yourself is it worth changing the HTT?s Multiplier? Well, yes & no. It all depends how far you want to take the CPU?s frequency.

Remember, that if you happen to adjust the HTT?s Multi to 2x than you need up the CPU speed 75MHz just to compensate the speed loss. ;)
