AMD Cancels Athlon 64 X2 with 2 MB L2
Author: Rodrigo Chia Date: June 16, 2006 - 5:15 AM PST
Category: CPU
More Info: http://www.techreport.com/onearticle.x/10175
CPU According to the Tech Report, AMD has confirmed the cancellation of Athlon 64 X2 chips equipped with 2 MB of L2 cache (1 MB per core). 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).

Socket 939 Athlon 64 X2 5000 and FX-62
Author: Rodrigo Chia Date: May 30, 2006 - 9:17 AM PST
Category: CPU
More Info: http://www.amd.com/us-en/Corporate/VirtualPressRoom/0,,51_104_609,00.h...
CPU AMD’s Web site seems to confirm that the recently launched Athlon 64 FX-62 (2.8 GHz, 1 MB of L2 per core) and Athlon 64 X2 5000+ (2.6 GHz, 512 KB) will be available in socket 939 versions. The company’s “Processor Pricing” page lists the parts as “socket AM2 and 939”. If the information is correct, it means that users willing to upgrade to the top of the line chips will not need to change motherboards and memory (to DDR2), besides the CPU. The FX-62 costs USD 1,031, while the X2 5000+ sells for USD 696, both in 1,000-unit quantities.

Dell Will Use AMD Processors in Servers
Author: Rodrigo Chia Date: May 19, 2006 - 5:09 AM PST
Category: CPU
More Info: http://www.dell.com/content/topics/global.aspx/corp/pressoffice/en/200...
CPU After years of rumors, Dell has finally decided to adopt AMD chips, beginning with Opteron multiprocessor servers. The machines are set to hit the market by the end of the year. Dell did not disclose plans to use AMD chips in desktops or notebooks. The timing of the move is somewhat odd since Intel is about to unveil its new Woodcrest processor, based on the Core architecture, which is largely expected to restore competitiveness on the server front.
