AMD Athlon 5000+ and FX 62?

[Turbanation]

AMD to launch 5000+ and FX 62 at Computex, June 6th incase some of you havent heard.

Do you think the prices will be around £800? or lower?

The FX62 would probably come in around the same as the FX60 is now. They usually bump in and replace the highest processor, pushing everything below it down a notch.

I was hoping the price would be around the 4800 region.

AM2 or 939?

 

[Turbanation]

AM2

 

[Chris19]

thats socket 939 fineshed now FX 60 was last chip for it

 

[Math]

is socket AM2 going to support ddr2 or drr still?

 

[monkeypants]

DDR2, as the memory controller is on the CPU it can't easily support both.

Looks like AMD have been tweaking the hell out of that A64 core to get it to 35W for an X2 3800+. I hope that the AM2 X2 3800+ isn't 1.8GHz because it has moved to DDR-II, but remains as its current 2.0GHz clockspeed.

there wil be a 65w 4400+ on 939 though according to the chart i've seen - maybe that will clock a lot higher (?)

 

[Turbanation]

I'd imagine the prices of the Mobos and stuff go well high?

How many of you are gonna get this new socket?

I thought the amd always had its mem controller on the cpu and it was intel that used the mobo

 

[m3csl2004]

amd have had the mem controller on die form the start of 754

skt a uses the motherboard

what does this mean for 754??? i wonder

So the big question is how much will an AM2 3700 single core and AM2 3800 Dual core cost compared to the socket 939 versions? If they're roughly comparable then you'd have to be out of your mind to upgrade to socket 939 right now. Or maybe, the socket 939 mobos and chips will become dirt cheap to clear existing stock and they'll be a great 'value' upgrade?
