These include models 4800+, 4400+ (both AM2 and 939) and 4000+ (AM2). AMD’s explanation is that the cuts are meant to consolidate its lineup, which greatly expanded recently, with the introduction of socket AM2 and the new Energy Efficient versions. With the changes, the X2 series will be reduced to models 3800+, 4200+, 4600+ and 5000+ (with 1 MB of L2). The bigger cache will still be available in the Athlon 64 FX-60 (939) and FX-62 (AM2).
