anyone interested in 65 nm A64 x2

i really sincerly hope its NOT photoshopped, still need some sort of news from OCUK employee, when are you getting these?! :(
 
Yeah, it would appear to have been chopped as one of the fields isn't centred (the rated FSB is offset to where it would have been if it had been 4 digits instead of 3).

Well there is a wee press release here from AMD, so it looks like the 65nm chips are on their way soon.

AMD press release said:
OEMS offering systems ready to experience responsive and spectacular high-resolution 3D visual effects of Microsoft Windows Vista™ with 65nm AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processors immediately, and beginning in Q1 of 2007, include Acer, Dell, Founder, Gateway, HP, Lenovo, Packard Bell, and TongFang, as well as leading system builders worldwide.

New year is promising...I know where my student loan is going ;)

-=EDIT=-

Oh and here for the pricing of the new chips, scroll down a bit and look at the ones that say '65nm' - they look to be well priced.

looks good, but i still wanna hear from OCUK, see exactly when i can decided conroe or stick with AMD, man the athlon X2 'brisbane' 4000+ looks tempting, its the 1Mb cache model as well :)

apparently the Brisbane chips feature a half multi to get around the problem with DDR2 running at proper speeds.
Is that correct?

Not sure, but on 939 you shouldnt use them as it buggers your ram speed up due to the way the ram speed is obtained

Did you miss my post?

For dell etc. (us most likely) Q1 2007, for us, more like Q2 2007.

I heard December 06 for OEMs and Jan/Feb 07 for the rest of us.

EDIT: 3 months is a huge difference between OEMs and the rest. It should be well before Q2 as end of Q2 should see Barcelona (K8L) released, hopefully.
 
i really like those prices

wonder if the 65nm processors will be in 939 variants. some say "AM2 only", but the 4400+ for example just says "AM2". But of course it will be interesting to see how they perform first comapred to the toledo with the 1MB cache, although AMD are usually really good at utilsing smaller technology (hense the 90nm san diego launch). So we shall have too see.

yeah there AM2 only im afraid so far, 939 is dead (R.I.P) and yeah i totally missed your post invader, what happened to the december date they promised! :eek: looking forward to seeing what they can accomplish, with some watercooling parts :)
 
Well they look to be releasing them at about the same prices as the 90nm AM2 chips were released at, which is nice. Just need to buy one, sell this crapassed 90nm 4600+ and I'm well away...oh yeh and get the R600 ATi graphics card aswell :rolleyes:

Roll on Feb/March time.

holy mother mary thats a difference, thats like what 40% or something? but gotta admit 3.1Ghz on stock voltage isn't at all bad, plus the thing was apparently cold as a brick, so i think you might get a bit more out of them, is 3.4Ghz so out of reach then?

Edit: sort of like openGL and NVIDIA huh? ;)
 
if it helps i ordered revision G processor this afternoon, should be here within a few days :) but i have no motherboard to put it in :( though as soon as i get my hands on one im gonna see how far you can clock them (setting up water cooling tomorrow)
 
Anandtech have a wee review of the 65nm 5000+ X2 posted a few days ago.

Results pretty much as expected really. Power consumption reduced a bit, but not a huge drop.
Performance basically identical, since no real changes to the core design, and overclocking ability effective but not stunning.

Very similar to the 130>90nm transition, where the fresh process was a worthwhile but relatively small improvement over the old one.
The big gain for AMD of course is the amount of processor die's they can fit onto a wafer of silicon.
End user prices basically remain the same, but unit prices for AMD should be significantly less (allowing for reasonable yields) so financially this is a welcome development for them.

A couple iterations more to their 65nm process over the next few months will probably see futher marked improvements to power consumption and upper limits of the core frequency.

good to hear they got power consumption down, and as long as some more overclocking, thats all good :)
