AMD 1st to release 65w CPU

Just wondering if they release a Opteron variant :)

Probably not though as that would again hurt their high end sales.
 
I'm pretty sure I've seen 65w dual cope oppys available for pre order on another site - they are very expensive though!
 
"If 65W is not enough, AMD is also offering "small form factor desktop processors." A version of the dual-core Athlon 64 X2 3800+ as well as a single-core Athlon 64 3500+ and Sempron 3400+, 3200+ and 3000+ are rated at a TDP of just 35W, which is exactly the rating of AMD's mobile Turion 64 MT processors."

Mmmmmm 35W 3800 X2 anyone? Sign me up :D
 
tbh I can't see the lower wattages being a huge help in overclocking.
My X2-3800 never had a problem with running too hot even at 2.8GHz, I can only see improvements for small systems (ie smaller hsf) and less power use.

Either way its still nice to see.

Its the fact they can run at good speeds with such low voltages that makes them perfect for overclocking. The cores will be specifically chosen for their high quality (ie - the cream of the crop, just like the Athlon 2500/2600-Ms). When you dial the Vcore back up you should have excellent headroom for overclocking.
 
Think I'll be going AM2 to upgrade my server instead of 939 then. My server is rather noisy at times with it's Athlon XP chip. The Semppy 3000 particularly interests me :)
