AMD Athlon64 X2
According to the Inquirer, AMD is going to release it’s dual core Athlon64 chips (called X2) tomorrow with the dual core Opertons.
The initial X2 chips will come in the following speeds 4200+, 4400+, 4600+ and fastest at 4800+. They guys at the Inq didn’t know what the clock speeds were.
Figures this happens right after I buy my two new Athlon64 systems. Oh well, it happens. I should be able to upgrade down the road with just a BIOS update anyway.
Maybe after they start dropping in price I’ll pick one up for my Gentoo box. Or maybe I’ll just hold out for a quad core AMD K9
