Pretty much to compete with intel price cuts, it will run at 2.0. No price yet thought.

isnt this the same as the X2 3800 but with the cache cut in ½??

Pretty much, it might be a good value buy depending on its price though.

Only 256k per core? No thanks. Call me when they release 2Gb per core.

Dual core Sempron, might be ok for light multitasking work.

Ok, prepare to wait about 30-40 years.

Yeah I can dream though.

Dreaming is nice. Great, now I'm sleepy.


The real question is, why isn't this being launched as part of the sempron line?

Yea, i wanna see dual core semprons lol. BTW, have you guys noticed that some of the AM2 semprons are more expensive than their same speed A64 counterparts, but still have half or quarter th l2 cache lol, i wonder why anyone would buy those.

because it's AM2, and just that reason.

Countdown to Flanker's AMD bashing post in 3...2...1...

Re: AMD X2 3600 for fourth qtr 06

NIce timing. I actually wasn't going to respond to this thread, but you literally asked for it.

[Flanker's Bashing Post]Meh, its a piece of junk. No performance when compared to any sort of Conroe. Price:Performance ratio is still very bad, seeing as this processor's performance is comparable to that of a 1.46Ghz Conroe. Jeez, I've seen mobile chips run faster than that. Waste of money, AMD X2 FTL .[/Flanker's Bashing Post]

Its nice how you call it a "AMD bashing post" when I swore by AMD for a year, and have a AMD system as my main...

Well, if you can get a better A64 CPU at same frequency at lower price, it's stupid to buy sempron.

Re: AMD X2 3600 for fourth qtr 06

Just like if you can get a better Conroe CPU at a HIGHER performance for a lower price, its stupid to buy a A64 X2. Not true in this case, as the processor will be under the $183 of the E6300, but only the X2 3800+s are exempt from that, seeing as they don't make a Conroe as weak as them, lol.
